My weather is always peachy and I hate it!

Recommended Posts

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.admiraltysignaturepic.jpg

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).admiraltysignaturepic.jpg
