I'm sorry, but I find this discreet upper layer that is so visible from above, for example when flying thru mountain areas, to be awful. This was nicely eliminated in FS9. And, I understand this is something FSX does, not ASX per se. My work around is to change the upper limit in the advanced weather settings in FSX so that no longer do I see a discreet upper layer (whose edges dance around sometimes leading to a nasty fake appearance). Of course, as soon as ASX updates, that kills my work around. How about this, unless I'm the only one who cares: put a checkbox or slider or something in ASX settings that allows the user to define what the minimum upper limit altitude would be for the LOWEST visibility layer? For example, suppose ASX generates a lower visibility layer of 30 miles, with a bottom of 2 feet, and a top of 5000 feet. With the control I am imagining, this could be changed to 20000 or whatever. This is how I get rid of this appearance now. Obviously this workaround would sacrifice some adherance to the actual vis layer for getting rid of something that doens't look too realistic anyway. It was so nice to get rid of this in FS9.This is a pic of what I am trying to describe:http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/188855.jpgThe other nasty thing is that this ground vis layer seems to be present and almost identical every time I set up a flight. As you take off, you fly thru the layer and the transition is so sudden and complete it just is not very realistic, esp since you can often no longer even see the poorer vis layer you just broke thru. Anyway, let me know what you think, about the control that is. Thanks,Noel

Hi,Thanks for writing.I could be wrong, but I don't think we have any control over the visibility layer in FSX.Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/banners/hifi-community-sigbanner.jpghttp://www.hifisim.com/

I see Jim, sorry. I wonder, since the visibility layer is controllable from within FSX custom advanced weather settings, if someone couldn't develop some code to change it, so that the next ASX update that comes can trigger the new visibility layer upper level. When you choose FAIR weather, for example, I don't think we see a low elevation visibility layer, do we?QX9650 w/ Retail HSF|8GB Muskin PC-6400|ASUS P5E|EVGA 8800GT @700|Seagate SATA 2 x 4|Seagate Cheetah 15K.x|XP Pro|Vista 64--soon to be installed
