With [[Advanced weather]], cloud patterns and winds will change throughout the day. With [[atmospheric light scattering]] enabled, fog and clouds are more realistic, and lighting changes throughout the day and during overcast periods. Advanced weather can be driven with live [[METAR]] data or manually configured for specific weather scenarios.
