Sky and cloud comparison

Over at the other forum they believe the sky color changes might be coming with 12.07 and not with 12.06 Linky

I'm not going to lie, when I first saw this I thought I was in the MSFS thread. Then I thought it was a comparison between XP12 screenshot and a life real photo. Not trying to cause any issues here.

Ha! No worries! I partly blame my potato-phones bad image quality. Purpose was to acknowledge the (in my opinion) huge improvements in XP 12.06 and what a "typical" sunset offers in colors/hues up here in the Nordics when viewed from the cockpit of a GA.

That’s great. 

I must admit that I feel particularly moved to read all these praises to the "new" XP12 sunset.
I join the chorus of compliments, that sunset is very realistic.  👏
It means that 8 years ago when I created the sky environment package **FS9 Supersky 2015** I did a good job. 

After so many years I am happy to see "my sky" in XP12 too. 🤗

That would unfortunately align with Thompson's short term roadmap blurb post. Atmosphere re-calibration was listed under 12.07. The masses are restless!

So, is this in 12.06 or 12.07? The screenshots they released said 12.06 and if not why post that.

One of the LR folks over on the org said that the screens must have been captured by someone running an internal version with some of the 12.07 goodies compiled in. So that means .06 clouds plus initial takes on the atmosphere tweaks. The screens were intended to be talking points on the new cloud shapes. smh :)

I just saw Janov's counter post to his own post on this topic. Sky colors might actually slip into .06. Fingers are crossed.

these vivid, bombastic colours

Do help us understand, then. "These" referring to the colors in the screenshots you posted directly above this text, specifically the one you disapproved of. Poor English composition. I also still disagree with your adjective usage.

Also do recall the blight of ALL CAPS in your subsequent edits in that comment :)

Do you really bump an almost year old thread to continue this? That is the saddest, most unhinged thing I've ever seen. Welcome to Avsim's X-Plane forum and their 'fans' 😅

Topic locked. If a certain individual wishes to stir the pot I would advise him to be careful with his words otherwise a holiday will be forthcoming.
