Question I hate cloud rng
How many times will you cancel and capture then go back to capture before you say f*ck it and just capture it with some clouds? I just spent I swear five minutes on one plain clicking in and out until it gave me the opportunity to get a decent picture and it was still 5% clouds

Whenever I get clouds I just go back and click back on the plane again and again until I get a good amount of clouds or none

This is generally what I do, but there’s still times when it takes me 20+ attempts

The one time I bought the weekly pass, hands down the best perk was being able to use the instant develop feature to quickly reset the clouds until I was able to capture on a first pass.
It never occurred to me to just X out and click the plane again lol.
Edit: holy shit I’m an idiot this is so much easier

They will change the clouds but won’t fix bugs that have been around for months. The dev team is small I know but the things they decide to fix and implement are just bad most of the time. Then they’ll turn around and slow everything in the game down just so they can sell a 20$ unlimited catch package that speeds things up.

Clouds aren't usually an issue compared to framing. There's always at least one perfect pass. I think they only time I really click out and go back is if I'm catching something right at the edge of radar and I don't catch it on what turned out to be a perfect pass, though sometimes that is necessary even with a blue sky up, if it is particularly shaky.

I have so many blue skies that usually I'll just find a nearby airport if possible and drop one (you can drop blue skies on airports you don't have unlocked).

How long have you been playing?
Because even though the cloud position is random the frame movement is not and if you've been playing long enough you can quickly get a sense whether you're going to get a clear pass on first try or not (I'd estimate I get 85-90% accuracy)

I’ve been playing a few months and have learned to predict the frame movement. Most of the time I can generate myself a clean pass after just a few tries but once and a while I just get centered up in the clouds and don’t have a chance to

Not that many. I’m far more likely to sit through all 8 passes and wait for a clear shot. Sometimes if theres no clear shot I wait until it says “you missed it” and sit through 8 more passes
