    The clouds are better in MSFS 2024. The lighting is way better for the clouds than MSFS 2020.  There are also cirrus clouds now in MSFS 2024. MSFS 2024 has the best clouds among any flight simula

    Really?  Just the improvements to the lighting engine in 2024 transforms the clouds.  2024 clouds are MUCH better than 2020.  In the screenshot below you can see multi cloud types lit very realistical

The really dark clouds viewed from above.  Must be an issue with their shading algorithm or something.

You don't 🙂  Another couple of examples where ASFS produces excellent skies.  In 2020 I ALWAYS used ASFS or xEnviro2020 (my personal favourite), despite losing the local weather model in doing so. In 2024 I am mostly using default clouds with ASFS in 'passive' mode because default skies are good enough, thus I get to keep the local weather model.

Thanks for the additional input from everyone. These above really do look great! I don’t have ASFS (yet) though. Looks like il have to spend some time over the holidays installing and configuring…

The most certainly are volumetric and dynamic. They move, morph but you have to watch them for a while to see it happen, just like real cirrus clouds.

Have you tried to move the time back one hour while the cirrus is painted? In my experience, the rest of weather changes, the cirrus remains identical.
