Clouds - The new puffballs

This is the old clouds from FSX. Not that they were much different in Prepar3d V2.5.

This is the old style puffballs

Here are the new ones BTW - This is over Des Moines, Iowa using real time weather from OpusFSI.

I fear that all this fascination with flying amongst pretty Puff-balls in the sky is going to result in your early demise... :shock: ....!

One day your are going to realise, too late, that there is also someone else up there, behind that Puff-ball...heading right in your direction....

...if the Rain, Ice, Hailstones, Lightning, Updraught/Downdraught, Buffeting, etc...don't get you first!

My Book of Rules says;..."Stay away from Clouds!", above, below, and inside.......>>> https://answers.yahoo.com/question/inde ... 002AAAtnYO

Gotta say, I know what Puff Balls I prefer !

Sorry Fozzer, but I just love flying through clouds and being tossed around in all that turbulence.
I'm a glutten for punishment. :o :o :dance:

...it will freeze your "carburettor" off, in no time at all!.... :oops: .... :lol: ...!

I've had the problem happen on my motorcycles and vintage cars under certain weather conditions, so I know all about the dangers!

Which is why I steer well clear of clouds in my Flight Sims!
