The developers of Korea: IL-2 Series at 1C Games revealed screenshots and details about a very relevant aspect of the simulator, the clouds.
We hear that the developers have put considerable effort into the tech to display clouds and the sky, including an increase in the rendering detail of cloud cover and the improvement of several aspects of its lighting.
Additional effort went into art direction, including the structures of cloud formations, their shapes, and distribution maps, which have been revised with the goal of making them both more realistic and more artistic.
The lighting of the cloud layers has been changed to implement illumination of the clouds themselves, not only by the atmosphere but also by reflected light from the ground. This means that their appearance depends on the ground and the season as well.
You can check out the impressive screenshots below.

If you’re unfamiliar with the IL-2 series, it’s a combat flight simulation series that debuted all the way back in 2001 with IL-2 Sturmovik, set on the Eastern Front of World War II.
At that time, it was very innovative among combat flight simulators and provided a lot of interesting features in a genre that was already starting to drop out of the AAA field into a much smaller niche. It also included a rather advanced multiplayer suite for the time.
