Are there supposed to be clouds right at ground level. I was flying about KDEN, KABQ and such, elevations over 2500 feet and such, and these clouds are right at the surface like spots of fog. I tried disabling the fog feature, but that didn't make any difference. I think the metar read something like "few" at 2500 or so. Anyway, is this expected or an unexpected effect?Randy Jura, KPDX

Randy,Unexpected. I just went to KABQ with this METAR:KABQ 191656Z 00000KT 10SM FEW050 SCT250 03/M03 A3012 RMK AO2 SLP190 FEW CLDS TPG MTNS E-SE T00331028Clouds were correct for me. Sometime FS has trouble with this type of situation.Hope this helps,JimActiveSky Support

I'll keep an eye on this one then!Randy Jura, KPDX

Thanks Randy.JimActiveSky Support

It was written in an FS9 review a couple of month's ago that in going from a low surface elevation departure airport to a higher surface destination airport that the reviewer experienced and attributed low clouds near the surface to the way FS9 interpretes METARS as ceilings MSL instead of AGL. Check me out on this. It was published in Computer Pilot. I may have the comment on AGL vs. MSL turned around.
