Yes they move as in real life, according to the set wind.

did you ever dream of the day when contrails and smoke would behave
like real? Takeoff pitch was always confounding... not matching what
was observed at the airport.. and it was MOST likely due to the
unrealistic smoke trails in MSFS 2k2.
would you tradeoff AI capacity for smoke, clouds, vapor trial drift?

John.. [are you] going to make a cloud movement spreadsheet?
thing is.. clouds are a framerate hog.. so they're (layers) set to
appear when way below or way above.. and visibility reduced
when inside [layer]. It's a tradeoff for better terrain appearance.

that's wonderful Adam.. my clouds are set to 5% which effectively
disables those tacky FS8 `cloud curtains'.. however the layers can be
seen from far below and far above as patchy and variable opacity. But
of course there must be tradeoffs when operating on 500MHz CPUs.
so you get Min 20 fps? my target fps is 19.. typically run 11-18 fps
however below 10 is unacceptable.
not to worry.. will have marvelous Sim platform someday.. won't be
quitting Sim any time soon!!

Hi Gregory,
Well, who am I to argue with that, Sah!?
Seriously, though, I've just started experimenting with the combinations
available via ActiveSky ASV and Flight Environment - so far, the hardware's
surviving the test, and strewth, it sure makes it a more visually-appealing
'Sim experience to practice my crash landings in!

that's a new way to spell it.. Sa!! however I wonder now if QuillSa
was a spotter for Royal Navy or IDF? no insults intended.. am
impartial to it either way. Any of the Cptns could be addressed
as such.

was typing up a reply to that 299$ Celeron post but deleted it.
frankly am more interested in temps, pressures, and technical
aspects of the Sim. clouds would be good.. but for `hardware
challenged' system.. they can be greatly reduced.
In this case.. almost always set custom `global weather' with
perhaps some LOCAL weather adjustments. some day the
extra eye candy will great.. will be simming on indefinitely!!

Not only do they move, but sometimes they form pictures. Yesterday I
thought I saw a naked woman on the beach so I flew towards it. I
crashed into a mountain hiding in her left breast!
Served me right.

my "old" pc was like that... well it was really only the graphics card that
let down the good cpu. My target back then (err last month) was between 20
and 30 (any lower and i notice it) I had vis distance at 60, cloud distance
at like 20 and clouds at 30% or something. As you say the FS8 "cloud
curtains" are horrible, id rather have LESS clouds (ie range) but better
looking, than the other way around....
