In reality there are many more cloud types dependent on altitude. High clouds Cirrus Cirrostratus Cirrocumulus Middle clouds Altostratus Altocumulus Low clouds Stratus Stratocumulus Nimbostratus Clouds with vertical development Cumulus Cumulonimbus It is just a lazy implementation of clouds at this point. MSFS/Asobo did many things right, but other things not so much.... I agree, they try to create other types of clouds from cumulus textures, in particular, cumulus nimbus, and they end up looking like towering lumps of mashed potato HowardMSI Mag B650 Tomahawk MB, Ryzen7-7800X3D CPU@5ghz, Arctic AIO II 360 cooler, Nvidia RTX4090 GPU, 32gb DDR5@6000Mhz, SSD/2Tb+SSD/500Gb+OS, Corsair 1000W PSU, LG Ultragear 48"4K, MFG Crosswinds, TQ6 Throttle, Fulcrum One YokeMy FlightSim YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@skyhigh776
June 28, 20223 yr So originally, by my memory, we started out with clouds looking like "volcano ejecta", and then when that was ameliorated, we started talking about too much lightning, and when that was ameliorated, we started talking about brightness, and when that was ameliorated (not nearly as noticable, at least for me) Then clouds were to low, then we needed metars or the sim was unusable, then we disliked the abrupt transitions brought on by the metars, then we started talking about cumulus clouds, and now we've proceeded to lack of wind gusts..... Oh, and not enough lightning. And no, we won't use presets to get any of that, plus we want better ground convection, and..... Boy, I would pretty much hate to be Asobo. We are all connected.....

Of course they're valid which is why Asobo addressed them.

No really, when flying over or in clouds that should have lightning, they'll be shown on the PFD. 😆 It's actually an amazing bug because I imagine such a thing would be hard to pull off intentionally, let alone by sheer accident. I've had it happen in multiple places the cockpit. This is the first time I've seen this, after reading your post. It flashes so fast, it's hard to catch a screen shot, but I also saw it happen on the EFB and near the joystick. Edited June 28, 20223 yr by Tuskin38

June 28, 20223 yr Here's two pretty screenshots from the other day I took, sure if you didn't know about the underlying issues, regressions and changes in recent Sim Updates you'd say "crikey that's gorgeous the whole game must look amazeballs"....but when you know the weather *was* much better overall before the SU5 regressions and then the SU7 "hey lets pander to the VATSim crowd and screw up the METAR transitions for everyone" you (I) can't help but feel kinda cheated. I mean I still fly about today in VR and I'm having those "Wow look at that" moments with the weather/visual a lot and I mean a lot. It's just that nagging tick in the back of my mind constantly saying "yeah...but it should be better than this". That in itself is great for the future, things *should* only get better, SU10 is therefore (for me) gonna be the first telltale sign on whether Jorg has got a grip on his team or not and whether we/they are heading in that right direction - not just with the Weather, but with everting else - some might argue that SU10 is what SU5 should've been.

Since they cannot produce a realistic looking thunderstorm (CB's) in Live WX, I would prefer they just keep the lightning turned off. I really hope they are working on improving the Live WX...a lot of the regression occurred when they tried to implement Metar's. We are 2 years into this now and I am still not sure about their priorities... Eric i9-12900k, RTX 5070ti OC, 32GB ddr5 5600 RAM, 2TB 980 Pro SSD, Titan 240RX AIO, Samsung CRG90 49", Win 11
