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:

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!
