Low level cloud with wxRE

Featured Replies

Hi Jim and Damian,I've a question here.How does wxRE (v1.9+) handle the low level clouds/vertical visibility very often present in wintry METARs ?That is: I got often METARs with clouds strings as follows: "FEW001 BKN002", "SCT000 OVC002", "BKN000 BKN001" and so on or "VV002" and I was not satisfied with the rendering in FS2002 beacuse it was quite incorrect (I know that the sim has its limitations, but if the weather is BKN001 I would like to have just about that sim).It was either no cloud till the first BKN layer or a generic broken/overcast layer (for the VV cases) at an higher level than the one depicted in METARs. Sometimes, instead, I got a solid overcast from around 100 or 200 ft AGL up to 10000 or more, that was unrealistic too (one that I remember well was from LOWW with this METAR: 30004KT 1200 R34/P1500N BR BKN002 BKN004 M02/M03 Q1018, so I expected to break in the blue at about 500 or 600 ft AGL, while I flew in clouds till well above 10000 feet).Another question: I think that it is not possible to simulate patchy fog conditions or variable visibility in FS2002 (that is something like: 0600 BCFG or 1000W 5000NE visibility). Am I right ?Thanks for a reply.Enrico.
