April 5, 20233 yr Cirrus-stratus / Cirrostratus / Cs clouds in the latest beta 12.05b1 are apparently being modelled as cloud puffs ? I tested under various scenarios where IRL there were high clouds, and whenever XP12 loads real weather what get's represented in place of those layers are puffs of little cumulus clouds as if rather disperse Cc - Cirrocumulus - instead of Cs. Looks weird and spoils the overall effect of weather depiction, specially when there are no other cloud layers bellow...

A big limitation of XP weather engine. It lost cirrus clouds as a separate cloud type back in X-Plane 7 or 8. From there on, "few cumulus" category is used to depict cirrus clouds. They should correct this. "Society has become so fake that the truth actually bothers people".
