Not getting overcast

Featured Replies

Hi all, I'm not sure I'm using AS6 right, because I loaded up FS and went to OKC where I'm looking out my window and it's completely dark and rainy, but when AS loads the weather, it is giving me like almost scattered skies, while the green weather information bar at the top reads actual weather, it just doesn't seem to want to load the actual weather. I don't remmber having this problem before, is it my graphics settings. I think I have all my settings on "Wx-influenced" thinking that that will give me the most realistic conditions? Any help much appreciated.Thanks,Jeff

Hi Jeff,Is ASv6 reporting FS being disconnected? What is the actual METAR from OKC? Is FS04 set to User Defined weather? Hope this helps,Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/Active Sky V6 Development TeamActive Sky V6 Proud SupporterHiFi Beta TeamRadar Contact Supporter

Jim,Hi. No ASv6 isn't reporting that. Here is the weather:KOKC 181845Z 09010KT 1SM R35R/5500V6000FT -RA BR BKN006 OVC015 08/08 A3011 RMK AO2 DZE17RAB17 CIG 003V009 P0004 $and FS9 is set to clear all weather before I start ASv6. I am getting the rain, but it's clear skies overhead and clouds in the distance.Thanks,Jeff

Ok thanks Jim, I did notice that if I slew my aircraft away from the airport to where the clouds are, then slew back to the airport I then get my overcast conditions. Strange?Jeff

Hi Jeff,There may be a nearby station with clearer skies influencing the depiction at your airport.Best,
