This is not related to the new build only, I've always had this problem and still do, doesn't seem to matter whats injecting the weather, so I'm posting here to see if anyone has a recommendation. Here are 2 screen shots showing the problem I'm having. The Metar states visibility of 9sm and clear skies. Well I'm not too far from this airport and the skies are clear, not a cloud to be seen and the visibility is not 9sm, it has to be a lot more, no clouds, no haze, you can see forever... well almost. In the pic on the runway this is what is always depicted when the Metar says 9sm and clear below 20,000. As soon as I'm between 3,000 to 6,000 ft the sky suddenly opens up to what it should look, nice blue sky and certainly more than 9sm visibility. Any ideas, or is this just a problem with Flight Simulator itself. I realize that the pic is probably showing 9sm as the Metar states, so it's being depicted correctly (??), but why do the skies open up at the flight levels I mentioned to show the real weather that I see in the real world. If the flight started out with the proper depiction, instead of a few thousand feet in the air, I would be a happy man. Any help would be appreciated. Oh, system runs FS9 full at 26 fps locked, no problems there. Thanks GlenASA build 406FS9 SP1WinXp SP3Default ASA settingsFSUIPC weather settings off

Hi,Yes, that is 9SM visibility in FS.And yes, that is a limitation in FS; that the visibility layer does drop completely out of sight. There is nothing we can do about that!Thanks,

Thanks Jim, I found my work around. If I set all the visibility sliders in ASA to 200sm everything is fine. Loaded the Metar from earlier today and the weather looked like it did outside, clear and sunny. Tried with some rainy historical weather and that was fine as well. When you change the sliders to 200sm, it changes the visibility on the report page from 9sm to 10+sm, even though the Metar says 9sm. That's ok because the sky and visibility now look as they should with the different weather I tried. Change them back to the defaults of 0 min surf, 100 max surf and 60 max upper and I'm sitting in soup when it should be clear and sunny, and the visibility on the report page changes back from 10+sm to 9sm. Even with the rainy historical weather the report page still indicated 10+sm, but the visibility wasn't 10+, it was cloudy and rainy as the Metar report indicated. Glen
