Upper Visibility Limit

Featured Replies

When selecting the default weather program in FS9, I set the lower visibility at "0" and the upper limit to "30,000" ft. Together with a 30 mile range, I get a very nice blended haze on the horizon. This effect remains so until I pass 30K ft where the ground and horizon textures turns very sharp with unlimited visibility. Not realistic to this eye. So I always fly slightly below whatever I've set for an upper vis limit to maintain the haze. Just a personal preference. When selecting ASv6.5, the upper visibilty limit is pre-programmed (at least on my install) with an upper vis limit max of 15,000 ft. Is there a way to change that to 30k ft and have it permanently stay there or to what ever setting I so choose? When I save the default weather settings, they stay that way on the next and subsequent runnings of FS9. In ASv6.5, that setting always comes in at 15K. I've checked the options window in ASv6.5 but can't see anyway to change that setting. ThanksChris

Hi Chris,There is no setting or programming in AS that controls the upper visibility max. There is a maximum distance visibility and that is in affect once you are above 10K in FS to as high as you can fly in FS. Please make sure that FSUIPC is set to default settings and weather settings off as this may be having an influence on your experience.Thanks,

Thanks Jim. I thought that is what I had FSUIPC set to, but I'll double check.Chris

"There is a maximum distance visibility and that is in affect once you are above 10K in FS to as high as you can fly in FS."Jim: Can this be changed so that when you exceed 10K', you don't lose the haze of a 30 mile visibility setting?

Hi,Only from within a registered version of FSUIPC.Thanks,
