August 27, 200520 yr After having tried out pretty much everything to get rid of the sometimes heavy fog haunting me on take-off as well as on landing at some airports, to no avail, I tried out FlightSim Manager for other reasons, which also has a fog fix for the FS9 weather.dllHere's the explanation from the FlightSim Manager help file:"There is a minor bug in FS2004 weather.dll, which cause a strange fog effect with Metric METAR data and when there are some clouds in the area. This 10 mile or less visibility bug in which visibility haze mutates unrealistically into an inpenetrable overcast. If real-world weather reports visiblity of 10 miles or less, you would get an overcast sky even when it's supposed to be clear.Note: This problem does not occur where metar visibility is in miles (such as USA, Canada).Once patched, weather.dll will behave properly. However, if you wish to restore the original file, you can do so from the repository system.Note: This update will work on both FS9 and FS9.1 (after the update)"So I, just to be safe, backed up my original weather.dll and applied this fix and sure enough, I am now completely de-fogged!This might be worht trying for other users, if it doesn't work you can always go back to the old weather.dll from within FlightSim Manager or restore your own backup.FlighSim Manager is freeware and can be found in the AVSIM library, search forfsm280.zipBest RegardsMax (Bern, LSZB)http://www.hifisim.com/images/asv_beta_member.jpg http://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/800driver.jpg
