In other words: you can very well see something moving if you compare 2 or more images with each other.
A funnier sidenote would be: if you speed in your car and get caught - do you get a video or a picture? If it's a picture how can it prove that you were moving? 
Answer: it doesn't even have to. A picture can still show a status, feature etc. while someone just adds additional information using words, numbers or other expressions.
Another example would be an icon. It's usually static but it still is the gateway to a function. If you click the IL-2 icon twice for example it will start up the game. So how can a static image show this dynamic process you might ask? Again the answer is: it doesn't have to as long as that is common sense or explained somewhere. (FAQ, manual etc.)
Hope that helped
On a sidenote: what would be even more amazing than moving clouds would be transforming weather! In other words clouds not only moving but growing, colliding, combining and generally transforming into different weather situations. Might be storms, hail or vanishing until we have clear sky! But that is probably another topic  |
Ok, now you have a closer look, to tell if something is moving in 2 or more screen shots you would have to know how and when the shots were taken and the time lapsed between. If you dont know the details, you dont know how the shots relate to each other, they could be taken on seperate days, the mission could have been restarted in between shots, we just dont know.
get it?
Anyway
...i agree moving weather and storm fronts would be just great, im sure Oleg had talked about this, im just not sure if its still going to be in SOW in the first relase.
