CRJ_simpilot Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 That's absolutely incredible. Looking at the animated gifs there is just awesome. OOM errors? Read this. What the squawk? An awesome weather website with oodles of Info. and options. Wile E. Coyote would be impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Robinson Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Those are an amazing couple of screenshots! This is hilarious actually, given a certain poster's recent rants and claim of FS9's superiority in the cloud department, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timberleaf Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 (edited) The clouds are amazing. My question, will there be a "haze" layer? You know... when flying closer to the ground, the haze / moisture / humidity in the air that minimizes the view distance; if there is a several-hundred-mile view distance in the upper atmosphere, will there be a minimized view distance with humidity, not relative to fog? So when we use Real Weather through their partner(s), and visibility is only 10 miles, then haze after that (until in the upper atmosphere), will that be rendered?

You can post the above and I'd love to comment on it but I can't. Mark Daniels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Robinson Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 You just did, and I couldn't care less what you think anyway. It's not like I'm not hearing you and if you just say it one more time I'll finally get it, I heard you the first time, I just think you're wrong is all.

Skywatcher12 Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 I only recently found out myself that someone noticed there are no cirrus clouds so I haven't posted that before. Kinda a major missing element imo. They are also blurry. That's not guessing or an opinion, they are blurry. Not sure what you are looking for in realistic clouds but I'm just looking for realistic clouds! MSFS appears really set up for Xbox users so when they crash their plane into their house they can do it with armageddon-ish conditions. I'm just looking for your typical everyday clouds represented well. Being totally honest, from everything I've seen FS9 does do this better.

FencerSu24 Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 That's what I was going to say, these clouds look too well defined, too clean, while in real life, they're blurrier, as if you were looking at these pictures with your eyes focused on another distance. Still, they're leagues above everything I've seen in a game so far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
