ASX - Lowest Manual Vis Setting (Issue) ?

Featured Replies

Hi,I was playing around with ASXsp2 last night and decided to manually change a downloaded metar on the Wx Settings page. The metar had a an OVC layer with 3nm vis down to 100ft AGL. When I changed the visibility feild to 1nm, automatic-dowloads disconnected (as it should) and the low visibility got much closer to my plane sitting on the tarmac (as it should).Now, when I attempted to set the visibility anywhere b/w 0nm and 1nm, the low visibility completely disappeared and I could easily see the next cumulus layer above. I tried decimal values, and fractions but no syntax seemed to work other than whole numbers, above zero. When I again put in 1nm or more of visibility, the reduced visibility pops right back near the plane.Does active sky have an issue with visibility below 1nm? Don't some metars have visibiltiy in fractions of a mile and this could be some kind of parsing issue?I just wonder why, when I put in 0nm, the low visibility completely disappears.Any thoughts?
