I have seen an improvement in MSFS 2024 in terms of cloud density in live weather but that’s it. Still no where near Pre SU7. Live Weather cannot depict full overcast especially for mid level and cirrus clouds.

Yes! Broken is still broken. I fired up 2024 this morning at KABQ here is the METAR: KABQ 041352Z 04003KT 10SM FEW150 SCT170 BKN210
So there should be few clouds at 15,000 feet, scattered at 17,000 ft, and Broken (i.e. broken is almost overcast!) at 21,000 feet.
This is what I got in live weather, which is laughable… not even close. This looks like the clouds in some random game that just shows some generic puff clouds 
What even is this?
I then turned off live weather and used a popular weather add on that basically uses presets, it looks a little bit better (flatter clouds and a bit more coverage) but still nothing like it should…
Then I set up a manual weather by choosing the parameters in custom weather. This is much better and what I would expect to see in the METAR above.
What gets me irritated is that MSFS2020 pre SU5 used to be able to do this A LOT better.

Yeah it is frustrating because Asobo aren’t even acknowledging it. Weather is literally one of the most important things in a flight sim.

I have a issue with live weather. In Cleveland, Ohio, KCLE airport in real life area is covered in snow. I load the game on live weather and there is NO snow, 0 snow ground effects or no snowing at all. ground is like clear of everything. it is cloudy and temperatures are like in real life but I have no SNOW effect. any idea to fix this ?
