MiscellaneousWeather & Atmosphere Presets

This section collects freeware weather and atmosphere presets for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and 2024, created by community developers from around the world. Weather presets are ready-made configurations that define cloud layers, wind, visibility, precipitation, and turbulence, letting you fly in anything from a calm VFR morning to a full thunderstorm without building the conditions by hand. The library ranges from collections based on real-life cloud types and typical weather scenarios to themed packs, location-specific presets, and soaring presets tuned for thermals and gliding. Atmosphere add-ons go further by adjusting haze, sky colour, and cloud lighting for a more natural look, some of them targeting the newer MSFS 2024 renderer, and some presets are designed for weather engines such as REX Atmos. Presets are usually installed by copying files into the simulator's Weather presets folder and can then be selected in the weather menu like any built-in option. All add-ons in this category are free to download.
