    I am writing to suggest some exciting features that would significantly enhance the realism and immersion of the game I would love to see the implementation of a dynamic weather system including heavy rain thunder and lightning effects. Additionally, it would be amazing to see more realistic cloud formations Specifically I would appreciate the inclusion of various cloud types, such as Cumulonimbus Stratus Altocumulus Nimbostratus and Cirrus clouds. These updates would greatly improve the visual experience and overall atmosphere of the simulation.

    Snow would also be nice. Along with gray clouds for the lightning and rain.

    Yes, we really need a weather and atmospherics update.

    I think that currently the clouds are great excerpt that it is only 2 kinds to make it simple for the non metar reading people, the big puffy puffy and the high up layer ;)

    And maybe volumetric clouds would go a long way for upgrades but it takes up a lot of hardware power

    If volumetric clouds were added, there could be a toggle between the current clouds for low-end devices and volumetric clouds for high-end devices.

    And that would 2X the file size of clouds…

    In a game I don't want to name, clouds don't cause any problems.

    I have no issue with the clouds. I love to fly through them. I’d like my landing lights to light them up though and for them to be dark at night. (Maybe that’s what you’re talking about)

    Sadly, I wish I could be back in the 90s again, specially the first years.

    Good ideia, It would be amazing if fog had a selectable altitude for this:

    It already looks somewhat like that with the right cloud settings

    Good idea, this would benefit for both pc and mobile users.

    But before that, we need some major rework in the atmosphere graphics. Currently it looks like in the 2015ish flight sim. Except, some parts of dusk looks a bit real.

    I am really missing such clouds.
