This is certainly very true. I do have noticed improvements in live weather. The cloudscapes are now consistently looking good. Getting solid overcasts aswell. I am also seeing multiple layered clouds which was completely missing before. Still alot to be desired because the clouds still have wrong absorption values of light and they look bad in certain light conditions. We still need more cloud types and proper simulation of haze & visibility.

I have managed to setup p3d v6 very nicely and I was wondering if these two addons are still needed in v6? I am very happy with the landclass and mesh in general but the default trees look wierd.

Thank you so much for this. Been flying the PMDG 748f without any major issues.

You guys seen the lod on the default 748? Its like a few inches after which the whole 3d model breaks down.

Quite the opposite for me. I am getting very nice cloudscapes. Nice overcasts and stretched stratus clouds by msfs standards. No more the usual cumulus. Dont get me wrong though. No where near the competition still but better than SU4.

Zero weather updates. Ah well should have known seeing that they completely fumbled that question on weather in thier latest q&a

Thank you for the suggestions.

I am planning on installing P3D but I have a few questions if you would be kind enough to answer. I would be mainly flying pmdg 748f. 1) Which version should I use? V6 or v5.xx ? 2) For ground scenery, is there a global addon ? Or is there any way to stream ortho ? 3) What are the must have addons ? I have a very beefy system with 9800x3d and a 4090 so I am willing to go all out. Thanks

Yeah dlss and next gen scenery, both would be reserved for xp13. Would be a major selling point.

Msfs 2024 looks insanely good with HDR on granted you have a good hdr display. The sky looks amazing with great depth and the colors look vivid. Just adjust the exposure compensation setting so that whites dont get blown out. I dont even bother with sdr now. No reshade, no rex atmos, nothing. Just default.

Tried the updated version. This can be a gamechanger. Thank you for making this really. I have a question and a suggestion. If its raining in the distance, will you be able to see reduced visibility in that specific area ? Since xplane does not simulate visible rain shafts yet, this would be nice to have.

Doesnt xplane does this by default? Well ofcourse when its raining the metar will report low vis and hence gets simulated in xplane.

Very interesting but I am unable to create account on openweathermap. Keeps saying something went wrong.

Nice. Been waiting for this fix.

I dont know man but live weather in xp12 is mostly riddled with cloud transparency issues and minecraft looking clouds. I mean if you want, I can share some 'laughable' screenshots of 'realistic' cloudscapes that you talk about. No matter how bad the cloudscapes sometimes look in msfs 2024, you would never see anything as wierd as in xp12.
