It was a leak of wip, of course it looks different. Luthier has already stated that our current clouds are not final, what's the point of this post?

Aren't detailed clouds available in the mission builder? They were excluded in the game itself because of the lack of powerful enough PCs to run them?

Has anyone tried the detailed clouds?

The clouds are the same, they are just used by the more complex weather engine, that can make them bigger and you can place them at more varied altitudes. Sometimes the results are much better than stock clouds, but the engine is just too buggy right now.
Here is some testing i did.

just found interesting that clouds look much better in a 1 year old video. and 2 patches ago the "new clouds" were putted on.

The new clouds did not make the patch, Luthier also stated that they had been turning various stuff down so it'd run on current hardware, they'll re-enable stuff as we move forward I expect.
