About 2 weeks ago I saw a screenshot of a FS9 which showed a L-1011 (I think it was the vistaliners one) climbing and there was 2 layers of heavy clouds like a blanket and the view was that the L-1011 was above the lower heavy blanket and under the upper heavy layer, like in between with open free space and it was a dusk time shot. I tried searching for it and can't find it now.You know like if you have 3 bookes piled up. The bottom and the top one would be red, the middle one would be blue. Think about the red books being heavy blankets of clouds and the blue book would be open air that you can see the dusk sunlight from there and the L-1011 would be in the blue book section.I asked the poster what kind of weather did he use, he said ActiveSky 6 and that's all.I'm curious to what kind of weather formation is this and how do I reproduce the same effect in FS9 with AS6?

I found an image which shows what I'm talking about, it's not the same one but close.

Well- this will happen when the METAR says to draw 2 layers of broken/overcast clouds that are separated by a few thousand feet. I always wonder how realistic it is since if in real life both overcast layers are very wide, the clouds would go all the way to the horizon and you shouldn't be able to see sky in between them?Anyways maybe if it isn't super-realistic it still looks cool hehe. I tend to find this type of weather situation on coastal areas where low layers of overcast stratus form below layers of overcast cumulus (or more stratus) above.Ruahrc

Hi All,Remember that FS04 will NEVER draw clouds to the horizon. Reducing the maximum visibility can help.Hope this helps,Jimhttp://www.hifisim.comhttp://sales.hifisim.com/pub-download/asv6...development.jpg http://sales.hifisim.com/pub-download/asv6-banner-proud.jpg http://sales.hifisim.com/pub-download/asv6-banner-beta.jpg
