Clouds

[mpw8679 428]

Is anyone still disappointed with the clouds with all the latest hot fixes?  I just did my first couple flights after the updates and the clouds look horrible.  I thought they fixed this?

They certainly don't seem to look as good as they did before SU5.  The hotfixes seem to have helped a little.

Same as they always were for me.    Spectacular at times.   Mediocre at best other times.

i think the clouds look the worst i have seen them

never seen so much grainy clouds

could anyone please help with possible changes in the cfg file

I find they look the worst when the sun is directly overhead, they look too cauliflower and over exposed , the lower the sun the better they become for me. 

Still, they are leaps ahead of any of the other sims, I always turn the sharpness off in the post process and the eye adaptation

Those look a lot better than most of what I'm seeing.  What's always been missing is cloud morphology and the dramatic types of cirrus clouds you see in the real world.  I hope they can expand on those.

Mine are as good as Noels, good improvement with the last Hotfix, Stunning compared to what's available elswhere.

10 mins ago over SW england with live weather, not too bad imho:

 

 

 

Still miles away from the cloud variations I see every day when I look out the window, but still sometimes very spectacular!

I think they are very good.  Some colour banding I saw was actually one of those secondary faint rainbows just touching the bottom of the cloud, but I did see some proper colour banding before the latest hotfix.

It anything could be improved, I think they need to look whiter on top when facing the sun, maybe by quite a bit. they do have that grey granulated volcanic ash cloud look to them a lot of the time. 
I run high instead of ultra on clouds to alleviate this effect a bit - less granular and more fluffy looking for a start.

I would be happy with what we had a few months ago, which was pretty good, but they gradually "simplified" the clouds and what we have now is in my opinion pretty unsatisfactory.
