Is it just me or my imagination that the clouds look much better than before these updates?  I say "these" because in addition to Active Sky, I use Cloud Art....which also had an update.  I use EA with volumetric clouds OFF, but I swear that the few flights I've had today produced what I thought were much wispier clouds with more movement as I was flying through.  The overall look of the clouds seems more realistic to me as well.

As I've said, it could be my imagination, but I don't think so.

hmmm I don't see an update for Cloud Art.  I still see version 7884 as the only version available.

ActiveSky clouds are not default even if you are not using cloud art. ActiveSky is weather program, it changes your clouds as part of the weather.
