Please see the attached picture.How come METAR & TAF predict CAVOK blue skies and the weather conditions for FSX is Broken Clouds at 11.800feet?Some input would be greatly appreciated.http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/192426.jpg

Hi,Thanks for writing!The key here is in the RMK section where it says INTERPOLATED. That means that AS is using a blend of weather from surrounding stations, hence the cloud layer.Thanks,Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/banners/hifi-community-sigbanner.jpghttp://www.hifisim.com/

Thanks for the reply.That makes sense. So the original METAR comes with the remark. In another words, it is no something that AS is adding to the METAR itself. Regards!

Hi,No, that RMK is added by AS. It lets us, and now you know that things may not match up 100%. There are a few different occasions when this happens.Thanks,Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/banners/hifi-community-sigbanner.jpghttp://www.hifisim.com/

Got it. Thanks again.
