Lack of Cirrus / High level clouds
New, WishlistPublic

Description

Something that I noticed, which now bugs me every time I'm flying, is the lack of Cirrus or High Level Clouds. Cirrus clouds are wispy, thin clouds mainly composed of ice crystals. These clouds are typically at 5000-6000 m in altitude (for Altis it'd be about 5km - 5.5km altitude). They indicate an oncoming storm system, rain, or just bad weather like microbursts. They can also be carried in jet streams across very long distances. In the sweet 2012 version of A3, these were present (see picture). I think adding these back would really improve flying above the clouds or the ambient weather before an oncoming storm. {F24550}

Steps To Reproduce

• In the game go above the clouds in conditions suitable for cirrus clouds (a cloudy day at like 4km altitude).

• It's just blank space up there. Weird.

• Go in a real aircraft on a moderately cloudy day, in safe conditions of course. Or Take On Helicopters. I don't know.

• Fly up above the lowest cloud layer. You should see another one above you.

These were also present in Take on Helicopters.

Oh someone else also dreams about more realistic clouds :) You could better predict rain and know if there's a weather front coming. I was weatherman in my service so this kind of detail would be cool addition though there are also many other things I'd like to see from the weather/cloud system :D

@Jimmy: LOL, now I'm inspired to create a mission to neutralize the OPFOR Weatherman.

Anyway, upvoted.

This issue has been resolved. could this be marked accordingly or something, please? Thanks.
