The thing about the weather that they really need to open up is the ability for software packages like REX to change the cloud textures so they can be made to look more realistic. This is the only true gripe that I have about the sim.

@@ImpendingJoker But from a company perspective, you want to protect this code that your team worked on. Not from modders, but from other companies and developers. Making realistic clouds is not that simple, look at war thunder and xplane, both are worse at it (not bad looking clouds, just less realistic imo). DCS developers spend the last couple of years developing (in my opinion) better looking dynamic clouds. Ubisoft for example also don't share its technology for climbing in games for the same reasons. In business, it's not the best move to help your competition. Edit. In msfs it is also the problem of dynamic weather itself. Data that they gather for live weather isn't highly detailed, so in result it produces blurry blobs. Custom presets will give you much better clouds.

I dont mind the dithering effect from the current ray tracing. The real issue is that its a screen space effect, and that's really noticeable in msfs. If your eyes are mostly in the cockpit, all your reflections disappear. There is also certainly no issue with the turbulence being too weak in the sim. I was flying in arizona the other day and it was the first time i couldn't get into an airport on an otherwise perfect day. Totally nuts

Yes! Asobo are not interested in VR in the slightest and it is at the bottom of their list of priorities. The immersion-breaking nonsense we experience at engine shut-down was raised yet again. The team said that they were aware of this but did not consider it important enough to do anything about it. The fact that the VR team has been disbanded and that there has been no attention to VR for a few years should tell you everything you need to know about Asobo and Microsoft’s commitment to VR.

Does anyone else feel like there is an issue with the reflection of lights onto aircraft bodies? E.g I don't see the blue taxi light or green taxi light reflecting into the bodies of aircraft. You have to move the camera to very specific angle to see reflections. Lights actually don't have volume or distance. This is in contrast to eg Xplane 12 where you can even see distance town lights or the blue and green lights reflecting against aircraft bodies.
