January 10, 200620 yr Hi! Just one question about ASV6 and FS2004. When I fly in an area where it should be overcast, and not possible to see the ground below because of all the clouds, and the weather on the ground is OVC and all fog with low visibility, I only see some few clouds when I am climbing or flying above the area, but when I am on gnd, the weather is correct... You know what can be wrong here? I want the ground to be covered with clouds when overflying it (when the weather is so) but all I can see when flying over it, is some few clouds here and there... Here you can clearly see the weather problem, when I am at gnd, the weather is set correctly, when I am flying over the airport at the exactely same time, there is only some few clouds, and the last one is a pic of my ASV6 options. http://www.home.no/daheaven3/EDDM.JPG http://www.home.no/daheaven3/EDDM2.JPG http://www.home.no/daheaven3/EDDM3.JPGThank you for assistance!Regards, Julian
January 10, 200620 yr Commercial Member HI Julian,You weather display in fs2004, set your clouds percentage to 100%.In ASV6 option, your clouds Max Thickness is set to 0 why?ThanksChris Willishttp://www.hifisim.comhttp://sales.hifisim.com/pub-download/asv6...development.jpg http://sales.hifisim.com/pub-download/asv6-banner-proud.jpghttp://sales.hifisim.com/pub-download/asv6-banner-beta.jpg Kind RegardsChris Willis
January 10, 200620 yr Okey, will try that..Its normally set to 10000, but I was testing something new now..
January 10, 200620 yr This helped, but I can still see the ground when I am not supposed to... Any clue?
January 11, 200620 yr Commercial Member Hi,In most situations when looking straight down, you will still see the ground occasionally with full OVC and even overcast enhancement. It's an FS9 "feature". Plenty of past (and a few recent) threads on this one. Make sure your FS9 options are set as per the documentation (100% 3D percentage and coverage density) and you may want to try "Favor Cumulus" option for more "bulk".Your ground picture appears to show "overcast" but in reality you can't see any clouds.. you are only seeing the reduced visibility "wall". As you climb above and the vis clears, you see more including the clouds.You didn't show the METAR report of this or surrounding airports, but this will always greatly influence the end-result depiction. When we went to station-based weather (and not a singular, instantly-changing global weather environment) this became a huge confusion point for most users who expect the METAR to always indicate the weather they can see all around them. With station-based, all stations influence the depiction and OVC at one airport with CLR at the airport 2 miles away will result in more SCT-BKN (for example) at both airports. The rule of thumb is that METAR reports will only be accurately depicted DIRECTLY ABOVE the station in question UNLESS another station within 5nm is reporting something much different in which case things are interpolated.Hope that helps, Damian ClarkHiFi Simulation Technologies
