Please don’t do that.
It creates incredible pain in me when I am reminded of what happened before SU7. I miss the long flights where I just spent hours looking out of the cockpit in the same view as in the video and enjoying the beautiful weather and scenario.
A shame what I see now when I start the game, together with the pseudothermics that came with the SU9 once again unplayable for me for months. I hope SU10 changes that, but basically I only expect the worst from Asobo.
We are still using same simulator, that means it’s not impossible to have it as it was. I think it’s 2 types of weather streams. I really hope we could choose what type we want. That would make us happy that want the old weather system and those that like the new METAR blending as well. Win win for both types of users. Then they could improve both with different things.
Metar blending= improve accuracy to metar. I really dislike METAR forming weather.
Meteoblue only= add/improve data from meteoblue. I really like a smooth believable calculated weather system.
With this strategy they are using now forcing stuff that didn’t exist at the beginning will not make people happy or stay using the sim.
I think that if that thread or any other related to clouds depiction is not flagged as “bug-logged” then clouds will remain the same since Asobo is not recognizing there was a regression with SU7 and so no fix is planned. Very disapointed too. The “Native Support of all Cloud Types” functionality is definitively not implemented. Or maybe to be cleared for Asobo team, create a specific thread named “Native Support of all Cloud Types Not Working” and see if it will be flagged/acknowledged as a bug.
Also we could create a separate thread for the “32 Layers with Density, Shape, Fuzziness” funcionality not implemented. There are so many weather funcionalities from the original advertised ones ( Feature Discovery Series Episode 2: Weather - YouTube) that are not working or implemented that they should be precisely reported one by one. Or that Asobo clearly communicates that there is no plan to go back at the level it was at launch so we don’t spend time and effort in this forum for something with no future.
I would say that if there are not major improvements in weather with the 40th anniversary release then we can for sure know they blew it with the change to metar and have no clue/desire to make it as good or better than before SU7. I still believe that HiFi is working on a new activesky behind the scenes. I believe they are good enough to implement something without MS/Asobo
From the SU10 beta:
It’s been a while since I’ve seen thick, solid OVC with large clouds but at Indianapolis Exec. there was some weather I haven’t seen in a long time.
Agree, even though su 10 is great, we are not still at pre su7 levels. I hope with su 10 we will get there, otherwise with next two update before Christmas we definitely should! Still it’s bad all this time has gone to re-shape something that was amazing before.
Are you referring to the weather interpretation, or the weather depiction? I’ve seen plenty of images that indicate that the visual aspect is at least as good as it used to be, so perhaps you mean what is being displayed rather than how?
The representation.There hasn’t been a coherent weather scenario since SU7, the METAR bubbles are like ticks in between. There are no more cloud structures, just a haphazardly mixed heap of cumulus.
Check out the video a few posts up, or videos in general before the SU7. You will never discover this weather representation in the current form of the game.
