The clouds obscuring the VORs/airports was a trade off between game play and reality. However, the end result is the same. In reality, an air traffic controller may have to re-vector a landing aircraft due to poor weather conditions. In the game, obsuring your view of the airport will cause you to re-vector the landing aircraft until the weather pattern moves away.

Hi Joe,

Okay, I'll buy that. I was gonna say that it makes it kinda hard to vector aircraft to a VOR that's temporarily obscured by a cloud, but I forgot that real life controllers should know their sector like the back of their hand
