I wonder why this is, i’d love to discus this and get opinions of my fellow simmers. We had many updates in other areas, but weather .. arguably the most important thing in a flight sim (clouds depiction etc) is not being worked on. I highly doubt this is a sim engine limitation, judging by the FS…

The difference really hurts here, especially considering that the big new feature in 2024 was the addition of displacement mapping at ground level and much more convincing ground environments. It just doesn’t make sense for a flight simulator. I honestly hate Microsoft for this — I’ve invested so m…

Yes, for sure we have turbulence in clouds in MSFS 2024 using live weather. I only use live weather and fly 20-25 hours on the sim every week. Pretty confident that it is clouds turbulence. It should improve though, not saying it’s perfect. Do you have turbulence set to realistic?

As was seen from the recent bug that caused the ‘Exit Aircraft’ button to show while in the aircraft, it might take 1000 votes in 48 hours to get the cloud improvements further up on the wish list….:laughing:

As a real world pilot training I find myself more drawn to XP12. Yes the scenery isn’t that great but l’m using sim heaven with Ortho. 2024 needs to improve this and I hope they do before releasing a new sim!

I’m just not seeing it. Also, there’s a bug report about it which has been acknowledged as a bug by the devs, so I think they’ve acknowledged it too. [image] Still no in-cloud turbulence in live-WX (2024) Weather & Live Weather ISSUE DESCRIPTION Description of…

I feel like this is the only safe space to share these recent XP shots so (from a flight from Bay Bridge down to KPVG near Norfolk [XP12_2025_11_15 (4)] [XP12_2025_11_15 (9)] Its just simple few clouds looking pretty good to me. I was sure FS2020 looked almost as good except for the high cirrus …

[Screenshot 2025-11-06 024017] Them edges,

It’s such a shame I’m sure that this topic is completely ignored. The atmosphere in those shots just looks so realistic. I just wish the MSFS devs would see these posts and those shots and then just realised how far behind MSFS is.

What makes you think they don’t see this topic?

5 years in and pretty much zero improvements to clouds
