Things Don't Look as Real/Amazing as the Used to in the Early 2020 Days

In this topic, for example, you can clearly see the massive regression in cloud depiction:

I myself regularly encounter such clouds during my flights (i9-12900KF, RTX4070, cloud options on ultra), and have recently reverted to MSFS2020.
In several cases, I have started a flight with MSFS2020, then exited and started a flight with MSFS2024 at the same airport.
The difference in favour of the MSFS2020 was very clear and obvious.

I am of course talking about live weather.
There is no point in talking about presets in this issue, because live weather has not produced such clouds before.
