[ASA/FSX] blue sky + rain?

Featured Replies

I have seen many situations where the sun largely out (partly cloudy), and yet I'm in moderate rain. That doesn't seem quite right to me. Are there any settings I can do to help with this?Will the "force destination wx" checkbox help?

Hi Mace,It's one of those FSX issues that we haven't been able to work around yet. No, no settings seem to make a difference.You are above the clouds when this happens correct?Thanks,

Well, not always. I've seen it above the clouds but also on the ground. I recently increased max cloud layers to 7 to try to help.I'm sure some of it has to do with nearby stations reporting "Clear" or CAVOK, and they are interfering with the nearest station reporting the rain.Does ASA remove outdated METARS? For instance, if Flint Michigan reports rain at 16:00, and Ann Arbor reports Clear skies from 14:00...can the Ann Arbor METAR be "thrown away"?

Hi Mace,No, we can't throw out data until it is older than that. I believe the cut off is 6 hours.Thanks,
