Hey all,I am brand new to Active Sky, just downloaded the new version 6.I too am having a problem with unlimited visibility at high altitudes. I fly commercial jets at FL300 and higher, and have set the AS Visibility Limits to 40 miles. This appears to work at low levels, but as soon as I climb to above 10,000 to 15,000 feet, visibility goes unlimited...which basically kills the realism. There appears to be no specific level at which this happens, expect that it is under 20,000 feet. Seems to happen as I ascend above clouds levels.I have read over other posts regarding this issue, and tried the suggestions, but so far, nothing is working.Does anyone know what the problem is? or is this a dead end.Prior to Active Sky, I simply applied a 40 mile visibility up to 50,000 ft with FS weather settings...and that was great, but trying this with AS doesn't work.Thanks for your help!Happy Holidays too!- Eric DeRocheDell XPS-4002.80 GHz 2.00 GB RAM

Hi Eric,Sounds like you are using default "Depict FS9 Haze Layer" option. When you get above this haze layer, it should default to the maximum vis as per ASv6 options gradually via Vis Graduation. Something is strange. Have you tried reducing your FS9 sight distance setting?You might also want to try unchecking the "Depict FS9 Haze Layer" option and let ASv6 graduation control everything without interference of the haze layer.Please let us know if this helps..Best,

Hi Eric,Thanks for the purchase and Welcome!First suggestion: in FSUIPC set default settings and weather settings off on the main screen.Next: In ASv6 Options make sure Enforce visibility limits is checked On and you have a minimum visibility of zero and a maximum of forty.Save your changes and close down both ASv6 AND FS04.Restart both and see what happens.Please let us know!Hope this helps,JimActiveSky Sales and Supporthttp://www.hifisim.com/images/asv_dev_team.jpg http://www.hifisim.com/images/asv_proud_supporter.jpg

Thanks for the fast reply...I tried both of your suggestions (Jim / Damian), modifying the sight distance in FS does not affect the VIS problem... and although unselecting the Depict Haze Layer helps with transittions, it does not eliminate the "Unlimited Vis".I've had some luck however,It appears this issue may have more to do with weather settings on saved flights. I normally will start with a saved flight.The problem does not occur when I set the visibility level to 40 miles up to 50,000 feet in FS for a saved flight, as long as I immediately load that flight. Problem returned after I restart FS9 and load that flight again... I go back to FS weather settings, and find visibility back to FS9 default (15,000 feet). So it seems, in order for this to work, I must reset this visibility and save the flight before I load it, each time I restart FS9.On a side note, I am very impressed with this product! I am a Meteorologist so I'm particularly critical with weather simulation!!Thanks,I hope this information helps.- Eric
