Clouds color during sunset needs better tuning

[MegaRiceBall734]

In every sunset I have seen in MSFS, the cloud color always goes like

• white → yellow → red → purple → dark/black

However, in real life footage I captured, it’s mostly

• white → white with yellow hue → blue/grey-ish white with pink hue → blue/grey-ish white

I suspect this is due to MSFS uses a relatively simple formula to calculate the the cloud color which is a function of sun color & overall lighting condition. So if sun is red and is half way down, then it’s probably dark red/purple, etc.

There’s already a ticket there so please vote. Also I attached my examples where I capture in-game MSFS weather vs. Live Cam footage of the same location.

Ticket

Please tone down the red in every sunset or sunrise with clouds

The red is to cartoony. It should be more pink to be realistic.

Example 1 LaBaie_20201020

• Too much yellow at the beginning of sunset

• Then it becomes red/purple

• Then too purple

• Too dark

Example 2 - Lanzatore_20201107

• Too yellow. Notice in real, how clouds stay white/grey/blue. The color is much cooler than MSFS

• Too orange/red

• Too read or dark

Example 3 - Saipan_20201016
