RealTurb has cloud turbulence and is - obviously - using the MSFS default weather. So it's technically possible. Also it's not about *where* the clouds are, but rather a simple "aircraft is in a cloud" status.
Since the both sites we both quoted are somehow contradicting, I think only Damian can give you a definitve answer about whether cloud turbs are in passive mode as of now.

I see you still didn't read the site you quoted. IT'S THE SAME site I quoted, not two different sites. Again, you need to read it to end and you will see the part about cloud turbulence that Bob also posted..

You got me 😄 It's a late saturday evening here, I should probably go to bed before embarassing myself any further.

For transparency: I'm a community mentor at the BATC discord. However, I do not get paid for it in any way.

Does injected weather from AS into MSFS influence or control what is reported with MSFS ATIS/AWOS ?

If I understand your question - fired up AS and MSFS in historical weather - got the atis using AS comm feature 122.00 -  then set trhe comm1 to the ATIS frequency shown in Navigraph and the report was essentially the same - only difference was wind was 1 degree off and vis was 9 instead of 10

Regarding cloud turb with Passive Mode.  It's a work in progress.  There are some things activated, but it's not quite ready yet, thus why we are not listing that part as a feature yet.  You may notice some additional undocumented improvements/changes here as we build this up.  We hope to have this completed and working properly as intended very soon.

Is anyone finding that the humidity levels are too high everywhere since the last update...even in areas which don't have high humidity causing an overly bright atmosphere at all times of the day...

I didn't notice this at all before the most recent update.

@Damian Clark Is there any possibility of adding an option to disable humidity rendering or clamping it to a fixed maximum value?

Was temp 5°C and dew point 10°C?  LIke MSFS?

Isn't that impossible? I thought dew point was the temperature at which you get condensation, how could it be higher than the air temperature.(A genuine question coming from someone without a lot of weather knowledge, but trying to learn)

no, it can be that way, if the DP is the same or higher the air is saturated and you'll get condensation or fog etc.

What about the AIRAC cycle? It´s shown as 2210 and not the current one (could not find an update option or a installation option in NG).

Dew point *cannot* be higher than temperature.  The air parcel is 100% saturated when dew point equals temperature... There's no level of saturation higher than 100% 😉.

As someone who has been running a weather station for 15 years I agree. If air temp and dew point are the same humidity is 100%. The air is saturated .

If dew point was higher than air temp the % would be above 100 and that’s impossible.
