Hail to the clouds

[Jeroen83]

Just wanted to mention again the immersion of the new clouds. I know they have been appraised many times but each flight I take I can’t believe how diverse and frickin real they feel. I think it’s by far the best improvement since I’ve been playing the sim (since BoBP). Great job!

Yep.  Very good. Can't wait for the new sky, to complete the package.?

It's a gift from the gods for us strike fighter pilots.  Making good tactical usage of them for ingress to target.  Anyone starts getting anywhere near, slip in, disappear, and course correct or hold.  Got all the patience in the world and can fly IMC and do a standard rate turn blind with no problemo.  Wouldn't want to fly Russian birds in the soup though, it's much harder to cross check too many instruments.  The more clouds the sweeter it for us attackers, not referring to flying against IA's though, don't think that would turn out so hot.

 

As a strike pilot I'm loving the cloudy days, the low and thicker ceilings, its a whole new game.

Just another cool effect I noticed today (which I’m sure is new). I was flying a mission with Spitfires generated with Vander’s mission generator. When I landed the sun was just going down. I parked the plane and shut down the engine, when I saw that the shadow of the cockpit enclosure faintly revealed the greenish  backlights of the instruments that were in the shadow. The other instruments that were still lighted by the sun were just plain white. Gradually, as the sun disappeared below the horizon, all instruments slowly transferred from white to green. Has anyone else noticed this? Haven’t got a screenshot unfortunately. But is was so real…

Yes, though I know that this feature has been in the game for as long as I have been playing it- which is to say since 2015 at the least.
Its one of the little things that makes me wish our current night missions had a bit more variety.

Had these cloud formations on MP, absolutely fascinating.

Hail from the clouds would be awesome, true.

Just beat me to it...

I would love to see some further weather implementation at some point, especially in the new Cumulonimbus incus where we could experience hail and lighting. 

When you guys have some time, of course.

I really like the haze you see in the evening
