Hi guys, the weather in the sim is amazing but still haven’t seen any single CB clouds around. Are they working on this or it will be a limitation of live weather?

Hello @DankestGecko198,
While I can’t answer your question if cumulonimbus clouds are being worked on, I do know that the entire weather system is still a work in progress.
There is a wish on those clouds here if you wish to participate:

Was flying in Baja California earlier today, around 5500ft in C172. Had my head “in the cockpit” checking out the VORs - then looked up just as I flew into a black, nasty looking CB. The weather had suddenly changed around me when I wasn’t looking (lesson to learn there) and I’d entered an area of humongous clouds, actually quite beautiful to see. However no turbulence or heavy rain; IRL the wings would probably have been ripped off!
So they ARE there, just not realistic enough as yet.

This is exactly my main concern about FS: no weather effects at all when entering clouds/thunderstorms. I really hope they are working on this, otherwise it can’t be called a flight simulator…
