Fluffy Cumulus Clouds at FL310

Featured Replies

I thought they were supposed to be disabled above FL250:

Hi,What was the METAR?

No idea, it was enroute.The skies were fairly clear, and then, as if by magic, it suddenly popped up.It was neither TCU or CB, because the base was only a few thousand feet below the tops.Not very realistic, I thought that this had been solved?Otherwise, a very pleasurable flight!Neilps. could you explain how the suppression range works. I have mine set at 100, but the weather still keeps changing close up.

Neil,FS04 or FSX?Local Range Suppression means that if AS downloads weather data, the stations within your suppression range will not receive the new data until they are outside of the range. You will still see weather changes within the range.Thanks,

Okay, sorry. I must be missing a lot of the panel in the photo.

The clue was in the FMA (although you probably need to be an MD pilot) it shows EPR CL and MACH mode, indicating a climb - although a very slow one.It seems to be very hot very high up lately??????Jim, FS9 and local range suppression set to 100 (although this never seems to work for me - on a flight today, I kept getting massive cloud popping as the weather updated, and even more weird a massive Vis popping problem at FL320 - It suddenly all dropped with lots of haze, and then came back again 30 seconds later)Neil

Neil,It's still a problem that we can't reproduce. There is a thread a few down from this also, with some flight plans that I am goin to try out over the next few days.Thanks,

These bugs are mere triffles, compared with the brilliance and the value added by your marvelous piece of software Jim.There is only 1 option which is missing which I really would love (I have emailed it in).That is an option to lock all stations with in an 'x' mile radius of the destination to the EXACT weather of the destination, so that you are guaranteed the correct weather on the approach on the way in (I am still suffering from landing at low vis airports, but the weather being fine until 300ft above the runway).Not so bad in summer, as the weather is normally nice in Europe, but it will come back to annoy me in the winter.Still, overall, thanks for all your hard work Jim.Neilcan't wait for REX for FS9 to come out to complete the perfect weather in FS9

Hi.I also confirm some cumulus and/or stratus at high altitudes, above FL300.However the OAT at each waypoint in the ASA briefing page, match almost what the CDU was showing on the PROG page.As for the high TAT, I guess it is normal in the summer the atmosphere became a bit warmer(?)... :( I've been reading TAT between -9

What a lovely warm summer (apart from where I live!)Have a go with the Maddog2008. I also flew PMDG exclusively, but am now addicted to the MD82.Love ASA.Neil

Here I also have to confirm that those high cumulus clouds still appear.And like I wrote many times at those places where it is said : Clear below 20.000 ft.Imho it should be possible to make a limit of 25.000 ft for cumulus clouds when the above situation exists.

Hi,Same for me and sometimes two layers of cumulus clouds at about 30000 feet. The option of cirrus clouds is set to 1% which is not too much I think...Regards,Christian

I can confirm this issue as well. It's not that it bugs me, it's just that you said that you reprogrammed ASA in a way that it should not do this above a certain height. And that doesn't seem to work as plannedHere some pictures:all screenshots over 200K deleted, please limit them to 200K each
