this exactly what happened in su7, I opened a post in general discussion, not only this but the clouds are now once again just a mess of cumulus and puffs especially around airports. It all started yesterday for me…

hello SealedVolcano :slight_smile: ! - ok then it wasn’t my imagination - for me the initially good looking weather looks like the standard MSFS2020 weather - something has certainly been changed !

It does look like its upside down. With the flat top and irregular bottom. This is taken historical weather -1 hour from live weather.

Are these upside down? Looks strange.

Not if they are mammatus, a sign of sinking cold saturated air. Would need a lot of weather data one would think to determine if a bug or mammatus formation.

yes they are, I see them quite often, and they are not mammatus as they appear as single clouds instead of an even overcast sky with mammatus.
