I was wondering what the weather criteria is for IMC? (Instrument Meteorological Conditions).

I wanna accumulate some instrument hours...

IMC is defined as any conditions that do not meet the VMC minimums. They can vary by jurisdiction and (in the US at least) vary by airspace.

US-Visual Flight Rules

In the sim I think anything below 3mi. vis is IFR only.

FSX also seems to include time spent in/around clouds
