Yes and yes. Visibility was at 0 sm but as i was climbing i noticed it was not overcast and the report was overcast.

Hi,Were you within 2 miles of the reporting station? If not, you could have been getting a blending of weather from surrounding stations.Does this happen all the time for you?Thanks,Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/banners/hifi-community-sigbanner.jpghttp://www.hifisim.com/

Possibly within 2 miles of the reporting station, but as for the overcast im pretty sure all stations were reporting overcast from where i was travelling, it was a snow blast storm north east. I was in the middle of the storm, I actually heard thunder storm clouds too, did not really fit in as per the conditions reported. This was a CYYZ to CYUL flight between 6 pm yesterday evening.

I never really paid attention to it, or looked at metar reports as i do now, so i don't know. But NO i never saw overcast in fs9.

Hey Jim from ground looking up yes, from over cloud top not around my aircraft, it just seems below my plane that there is no clouds.

[JSkorna 137]

Hi,Top-down is a FS condition that we cannot do anything about.Thanks,Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/banners/hifi-community-sigbanner.jpghttp://www.hifisim.com/
