Recommended Posts

Guest reconmercs

hi guys..my first time postin on this board. Anywayz..I've had AS2004 for awhile and mostly like the updated weather but that is also my main GRIPE. For some reason every time there is visiblity less than 20 miles I get horrible visibitliy rendered, the skies are grey(even when the metar says "clear" and there is alot of haze surrounding the airport. Can someone please assist..also when movin from area to area the visibilty will drop drastically. today I was making a vitural flight out of RDU(well tryin to atleast) and AS2004 had grey skies as mentioned before and I know for a fact there was no haze, no over cast and visiblity was good..I looked right out the window of my house..thanks in advance....

Jim, I also just noticed..when I get over about 2000 ft..the visibility works like its suppose to the clouds are accurate so it looks like when I'm 2,000 ft or below the sky is grayed in and bad visibilty with haze on the ground...and this is when the metar is saying clear ..very strange...

Hi, I also do have to say that I have this same problem... The grey skies when the reports and even the Flightwatch radio states state clear skies with 3 miles+ visibility. Adam
