June 16, 200520 yr Hi Bruce,Sorry you are having trouble. First report of this. Are you sure that the layers were not at 1400 and 2500? One suggestion is to lock your FPS in FS04. Also, were you directly at KSEA or away from the station?Hope this helps,JimActiveSky Sales and Supporthttp://www.hifisim.com/images/asv_dev_team.jpg http://www.hifisim.com/images/asv_proud_supporter.jpg
June 16, 200520 yr Definitely 14000 and 25000 and it was the default KSEA flight so I started from KSEA, actually when I repeated the flight it had changed to 13000 ft and 20000 ft but again no upper overcast layer.Bruceb Bruce Bartlett Frodo: "I wish none of this had happened."

June 16, 200520 yr Commercial Member Hi Bruce,How do you know your overcast layer at 25,000 was missing? Was it via ATIS report? Remember that FS9 doesn't report layers over 20K.Was it visually? Remember clouds that high are usually cirrus clouds and FS9 will render them only immediately above the station ID reporting such clouds.If the cloud layer was truly missing you could verify it in FS9 wx dialog (advanced/customize). Let us know your results? Damian ClarkHiFi Simulation Technologies
June 17, 200520 yr As a clarification I should have added that there appeared to be a broken layer of cloud above the 14000 layer so I guess this may have been the sims attempt to represent the ovecast layer. Now I have just done a test flight with a manually inserted overcast layer of cumulus between 20000 and 22000 ft and it seems the best FS9 can do is about a 5/8 of cloud.

June 17, 200520 yr Thank you for making ASV available on simmarket. I have now downloaded and installed ASV and am setting off on my first flight from KSEA. I was hoping to join in the general adulation for this new product but on this very first flight the metar specifies scattered clouds at 14000 ft and overcast at 25,000 ft. The scattered layer at 14000 ft is there but no overcast layer at 25,000 ft. Options all defaults. Is there something else I need to do to get the overcast layer to display?ThanksBruceb Bruce Bartlett Frodo: "I wish none of this had happened."

June 17, 200520 yr Looks great - is this with ASV running, if so what settings are need to achieve that look? Also is it still 8/8 when you pan around in spot view?Bruceb Bruce Bartlett Frodo: "I wish none of this had happened."
