Question Sigmet depicition - Embedded CB

[Yardbird]

Hi,

everytime I am at cruise level and fly through a sigmet with lets say high-towering CBs I dont see anything in active sky. I mean is that a limitation of MSFS2024 or why cant active sky not depict large towering clouds. It is not in Sigmets only just in general high CBs are not depicted at all. Even normal cumulus are relatively "flat".

Best regards,
Felix

Or maybe in a more simple form, can active Sky show a cloud with a base at lets say 2000ft and topping at lets say 20000ft?

Various MSFS updates over the past few years have reduced the visual depiction of cloud heights (affecting CB) for performance or other reasons. This limits what you see, but you can tell in cloud depiction data that we are setting up to maximum of 35kft thickness (depending on the computed actual heights). We are reviewing latest SU5 beta updates and will attempt to increase (within limits) the set heights to increase realized visual heights, by option, for those who prefer such visuals despite the potential performance implications.
