It isn't possible to just overlay a rendering of the cockpit with a rendering of the full view. Both of those need processor cycles to render and you can't just double processor cycles out of the blue.
Same with adding textures to the clouds. You can't just do that endlessly until you have a photographic rendering. Especially if you want the exact same clouds to be visible from all angles by 25 guys flying online. This is very different from an MSFS add-on hanging big flat photos of clouds up around you as you putter along on your own in a Cessna.

Listen to that man, he speaks the truth. That semi transparent cockpit idea is technically very naive.
Same goes for the clouds. People forget too that those clouds-behaviors are probably linked to Oleg's new dynamic weather system. You have to find a way to find different forms that can shape-shift real time and be seen alike by all players, from all sides. Complex "true life" -like clouds would eat your computers alive.
