please can you look at the attached screenshot, i flew out of egph clouds scattered 4000ft,but the view of the ground seems to look hazy,also the sky doesnt look right as well, is this normal for this weather temp 25 dew 15, maybe i have a problem with my graphics cardi have try different sky colours,also have fog gen and fs9 haze unticked. thanks,jim

Hi Jim,I missed this one this morning, but I did get your e-mail. The pic helps as does your settings! I think things look good. Do you recall what the reported visibility was? Remember that FS04 uses certain cloud types to control visibility and if you were not high enough you can still view the visibility haze. Climb above 10K and see what happens.Hope this helps,Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/Active Sky V6 Development Team Active Sky V6 Proud SupporterHiFi Beta TeamRadar Contact Supporter: http://www.jdtllc.com/AirSource Member: http://www.air-source.us/FSEconomy Member:http://dot.kelder.net:8080/fseconomy/

jim here is a pic just using fs weather,i really like using asv i think its a great program, i am just worried that im not getting the best out of asv, maybe because i dont have it set up properly, i will try the flight again and climb above 10k and report back. thanks,jim

here is another screenshot taken at 20000ft, metar is wind 260 true 8kts,vis 9999 meters,cloud 1900 broken, precip none, temp 18c, dew 14c as you can see there is still a lot of haze, is this normal for this type of weather, if so then everything is ok. thanks, jim

Hi,Most would say that the FS04 weather shot is not realistic and that the ASv6 shot is the way things really look in a plane. Post your ASv6.ini file and I'll double check your settings. I would say that things are good!Hope this helps,Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/Active Sky V6 Development Team Active Sky V6 Proud SupporterHiFi Beta TeamRadar Contact Supporter: http://www.jdtllc.com/AirSource Member: http://www.air-source.us/FSEconomy Member:http://dot.kelder.net:8080/fseconomy/

Post your ASv6.ini file and I'll double check your settings. how do you post the asv.ini file thanks,jim

It's a simple text file...just open it in Notepad, highlight it all, copy to clipboard, log onto this AVSIM forum, post your message here, and paste the .ini text into your message...Rhett
