I am still evaluating the performance and quality and I would like a clarification on the design of the clouds as the attached images. They do not seem very realistic, mainly due to the quantity in columns. Is there anything I can configure to improve this? Thank you. Jefferson They are towering cumulus clouds and are shown when reported in METARs. No, they are not customizable by users. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gildahl Posted May 23, 2020 Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 I haven't personally experienced these in the game yet, but I do agree that the sameness doesn't look too realistic. The morphology of towering cumulus varies quite a bit as shown here https://bmtc.moodle.com.au/mod/book/view.php?id=5580&chapterid=4107. So might be nice to eventually work some variety into the representations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have actually explained this in quite a few areas of the forums, so feel free to dig up those discussions in searches, but the short and skinny is we need to keep things within a performance parameter. Adding the variation would cause more memory use and hamper performance. For now, this is what we have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sundog Posted May 24, 2020 Report Share Posted May 24, 2020 We're actively working on offering more of a variety of TCU and CB clouds for more realistic stormy conditions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
