I don't understand why this needed to be its own thread, it could have easily been a post in the patch thread.

Ok call me crazy but it kinda looks like clouds lost a little crispness to me too.

They look identical to me. I run them on high.

This is what they actually look like (taken from reddit):- 

 

 

Well at least this one is an honest representation. Reminds me of 12.1.0 tbh. Did the poster say this is the latest beta? In any case, you can see how low resolution they are closer to the plane.

Oh well no wonder I couldn't distinguish it from real life, Goran.

It's actually real life!

The 2022 article https://www.sciencing.com/6-steps-clouds-formed-11367412/ your photo is from does a really good job of explaining how clouds are formed. And Anna Brothankova did a really great job capturing the photo of the real life clouds that have absolutely nothing to do with X-Plane 12! You upped the resolution alright because nothing beats reallife80p

I'm sure the people who liked your post also knew it didn't come from X-Plane 12 too. 

Why are people like this?

Not just a normal Avsim member, a Commercial Member.

Wait what? Prominent XP avsim forum member trying to pass real life screenshot as xp screenshot?

Can we get an explanation for this ?

I doubt you'll get one...other than maybe "oops, sorry"

I thing that an honest mistake is the most reasonable guess as to why.

Prominent??  Of course there’s an explanation, but you consider me prominent?  That’s the first time anyone in here has paid me any kind of compliment or recognition.

🤣

I've seen your name here and in the XP forums posting enough times and you been given enough praise for your work further to that you are a commercial member. Don't act brand new.  😒

Moving on to whats more important is how is it that a real image is being misrepresented by you as an XP image?.. That's what i am wondering ..

please don’t insult me. Not a single post I’ve made in these MSFS forums has been met with any kind of courtesy. Now, im given some kind of title. 
Obviously there’s an explanation for the image, but going by past history in these forums, it will be twisted into something it isn’t.

No one insulted you.. or rather i personally did not  .. as a matter of fact this is the FIRST TIME i've interacted with you and have asked for an explanation ..

 

You gonna provide it or not ?
