I think it can be said with confidence that the clouds in 12.2. will look the best in ANY CIVILIAN X-Plane version out there 😉.

BTW: for glider pilots smoke from chimneys is a good indicator from where the wind blows - in case they need to do an emergency landing on a field due to low thermals. And now ... jcomm will exult 😄: there's a scenery which adds smoke to chimneys worldwide for simheavens X-World (in case he uses X-World).

Another scenery which is "kind of" 😉 interesting for glider pilots (but not only), as it reacts on the wind:

Two further screenies (this time, the topic is "clouds"):

And with 12.2 (Beta) it's even better as shown here 👍.

Apart from that, as I like the Canaries, 2 screenies from Gran Canaria. El Berriel (GCLB) - not only an arfield but also a kart racing track.

 

Maspalomas and Playa des Ingles

Great shots!

Will be in Gran Canaria next week IRL 😁

Another Canary island: Fuerteventura - in the morning.

GCFV and Puerto del Rosario.

 

Corralejo and the dunes

Me too. Many times ... However not in Corralejo (only once), but in the south.

Strictly speaking a ring in. This is a 720 or 138 if you like not a 300 400 series 707 and especially not a RR Conway 707 ala BOAC, but it does me. Still a 707. The Shensee B707 - A Tour de Force - of a single hobbiest/amateur developer simulation model with remarkable graphic and system skills. 

I might add choice of 3 correctly integrated nav systems with appropriate VC modelling - old fashioned VOR NDB, CIVA INS, GPS520. 707s never had APU's so ground connection for air and power is a necessity. No rolling engine starts with these birds. How does it go? by the numbers its a 707. 

I guess I expand on this for XP users because the Shensee B720 is a single man work so to produce a model of this depth, model accuracy and high high quality instrumentation and VC is humbling for me a mere dabbler. Just mastering blender alone deserves a medal. Not tardy to correct and repair a few issues here and there with regards to fidelity. How many payware developers give you the CIVA option? Some clever inbuilt shortcuts. Flight Engineer station needs to be mastered not as simple as it looks. 

Need to do more shorthaul to appreciate this one. Maybe Q8 pilot could give it a go properly!

Just look at the quality of this wing the flap mechanisms, form and rivetting not to mention the varying metallic shades produced. This is a model master at work.
