Hello Gentlemen,I fly with real weather on all the time and I often practice IFR where I can find the worst conditions. My problem is, say I shoot an approach into a place with 4 miles and a 200 foot overcast. Inevitably, I break out at 1000 feet, with visibility around ten miles.x(Is there something that I can tweak in AS6 to reflect the real weather more accurately? The weather in the sim is consistently better than the METARs report.

Hi,Please post your ASv6.ini file and I'll take a look tomorrow.Thanks,Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/banners/hifi-community-sigbanner.jpghttp://www.hifisim.com/

Jim, Can you tell me where I can find that file please?thanks

Hi,FS04/Modules/ASv6 folder. The file with the gear on it.Thanks,Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/banners/hifi-community-sigbanner.jpghttp://www.hifisim.com/

Hi,The only setting I would change is the Use FS9 Haze.In FS make sure clouds are set to maximum coverage.Thanks,Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/banners/hifi-community-sigbanner.jpghttp://www.hifisim.com/

Well, I have my clouds set within FS to their maximum potential (3d and 100% coverage).Do you really think the haze would make any difference? From my own flying experience, haze is (usually) not an issue on low IFR days. Usually, the low vis is due to a higher moisture content in the atmosphere (which translates to clouds).

Hi,That is the only setting I saw that could help. The rest is up to the data in ASV6 and how FS04 displays it.Thanks,Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/banners/hifi-community-sigbanner.jpghttp://www.hifisim.com/
