just curious, why is when there are thunderstorms allaround, the clouds tops are maybe 10000 feet and maybe a thickness of 4000 feet with lightning blasting out of these clouds. what ever happened to the tops of 40000 feet witht the anvil tops. does that not happen with fs?

Hi,Try "Extend thunderstorm layers" option.Also extend your max cloud thickness option if you want.Sometimes FS9 will depict smaller clouds even though AS is specifying much thicker, it depends on many random processes within FS. The above options should help!

Thx Damian. Will try. BTW i think ASV is updating fine now. I guess it just needed a bit of working out!
