Sad that MSFS 2024 Clouds still look unrealistic

It is really sad that the clouds in MSFS 2024 still look like cauliflower/volcanic ash etc., how ever you want to describe it.

Still looks unrealistic and really poor in my opinion.

So disappointed.

my take on the 2020-2024 cloud situation,
they look the same from above but they look better from below

if you notice, all the amazing shots of clouds in 2024 are all, or most, from below the cloud level

My Personal Comment & Observation

I see a very mixed bag. At times, the clouds can be spectacular, but then one sees this:

and this:

neither of which look realistic to my eyes.

Just like FS2020, certain conditions look rubbish for whatever reason, but by and large the cloudscape density and lighting is significantly better IMO.

I’ve experienced some odd layer overlapping / flickering etc as per that last image but that’s been fairly infrequent.

the number of posts that describe how bad is the clouds quality is huge, and at the moment asobo doesn’t seem interested on fixing this issue and improving the weather system in general…

The clouds actually looked better in FSX in some ways…

how is this even possible

Just did a 5 pm flight from Atlanta to Orlando in an A320 on 2020 after spending most of the day flying 2024. I was amazed at how much more real the atmosphere is in 2020.
