I preferred the live weather before, the clouds before, and the luminosity rendering before, About Photogrammetry it's only pretty in an upright position and the color of the buildings is black. It's very clear in my head. I would be curious to see weather real forecast with type of cloud/precipitation reporter vs depicted by live weather. For example where I live in California marine layer cloud looks like on last pic. In this case what I see IRL is matching MSFS. But say If I would fly to a desert in afternoon I would building cumulus cloud that look like on your first pic. Edited June 16, 20223 yr by Ray Proudfoot Images in quoted post removed.

June 15, 20223 yr For some of you you have a short memory about live weather and cloud and light rendering of the year 2020. Even the water color to change... Water 2020 clouds 2020 lighting 2020

Curious, for your water color comparison shots, were these factors the same/similar between the old and new shots?: sun position, time of day, day of the year, clouds coverage and positioning, location, angle of the camera... because all of those obviously have an impact on water color 🙂 Len 1980s: Sublogic FS II on C64 ---> 1990s: Flight Unlimited I/II, MSFS 95/98 ---> 2000s/2010s: FS/X, P3D, XP ---> 2020+: MSFS Current system: i9 13900K, RTX 4090, 64GB DDR5 4800 RAM, 4TB NVMe SSD
June 15, 20223 yr If someone has been using MSFS since release, and followed each update closely, there's no way in hell that the person would not know that some things are better and some took a step back. The live weather feature is now more reliable, but there was a time when cloud depiction was much better than it is now. MSFS
June 15, 20223 yr Today I feel like I'm flying over water of the same color no matter the scenario and today's clouds are too white and too generic. Live weather 2020 may not have been as accurate as it is today, but visual quality today is really bad if I compare to year 2020

June 15, 20223 yr On my system the voices have changed for better and worse since what I remember early on. They sound better but enunciate worse. For example instead of saying 'three', now it always sounds like 'tree'...
June 15, 20223 yr Try doing the same with MSFS 2020 today with live weather or even with manual weather.

June 15, 20223 yr No idea to even tell at this point. I only have a couple screenshots from MSFS release back then. Asus Maximus X Hero Z370/ Windows 10 MSI Gaming X 1080Ti (2100 mhz OC Watercooled) 8700k (4.7ghz OC Watercooled) 32GB DDR4 3000 Ram 500GB SAMSUNG 860 EVO SERIES SSD M.2
June 15, 20223 yr There was such a good balance in 2020 between water, clouds and light.It was magical!

I still loved the Weather early 2021 in the Sim. I thik the whole METAR Update messed it up. Has never been the same. Since SU9 even the LOD is bad very often, and pop ins of objects. YMMV Not really complaining, just observing it. my African sceneries for MSFS : https://darshonaut.blogspot.com/p/msfs-2020.html

SU9 has improved things slightly over the disaster that SU7(?) brought to cloud depiction, but we’re still a long way from the realistic skyscapes we had in the beginning. Hoping that SU10 brings it all back. Having said that, local haze is very well-done and hopefully they can translate that into large scale atmospheric haze at some point. i910900k, RTX 3090, 32GB DDR4 RAM, AW3423DW, Ruddy girt big mug of Yorkshire Tea
