There is no debate that flying around in MSFS looks amazing, however I feel the atmosphere could be easily made better, as it looks unrealistically astonishing at the moment. I was playing with XP12 yesterday, and while graphics is of a much lower quality, it felt that clouds, haze, and atmosphere i…

Valid points OP and talked alot before release and ever since… looks like its to be as xbox friendly? … Not a pixel has changed in regards to color and atmosphere but then that’s just me being very cynical. They are tweaking the clouds and arent there yet. You never know, they might do something abo…

[image] DrBear8555: 2 - I can’t get MSFS to simulate a close to zero visibility. I have accidentally got MSFS to do this lots of time, and I only ever use Live Weather. I live in UK and fly mostly in the evenings (Real Time) so I want daytime flights, so the other day I decided to make a fli…

[image] BurkeByNature: This all on xCloud, so therefore I guess Xbox Series X hardware. Hardly. It’s possible that you’re assigned a virtual Xbox Series X for some reason, but of course they don’t have a huge data center with millions of Xboxes standing next to each other.

This is what I was referring to in my OP. It stays to few 100s meters and in a cloud. Now, not a tragedy, but kind of make pointless many Cat C. :slight_smile:

I may not have captured it but my visibility dropped to just off the nose of my aircraft. It faded in and out as the weather changed but at times I couldn’t even see the runway edge lights. It was more like 5-10 metres.

[image] DrBear8555: 2 - I can’t get MSFS to simulate a close to zero visibility Close to zero visibility is often experienced flying into Paro using live weather. This is common, especially early morning flights and will necessitate a divertion to the alternate. As others have pointed out ab…

Live seems to deal with fog much better than presents, but I still feel they are just very dense clouds rather than fog. Taking all clouds properties that fog doesn’t have. Don’t mistake me, it’s absolutely lovely but it’s a big miss operationally if you want to set a present to simulate low visibil…

As I was mentioning in the OP, you can get dense clouds but I am talking about fog, sorry if I haven’t been clear. And even with clouds I never managed to go below 100/200m :slight_smile:

I think the representation of rain in msfs is beyond outstanding. And I think it’s one of the most realistic parts of the atmosphere depiction!

Atmosphere too amazing - needs improvement!
