June 10, 201015 yr Commercial Member I have been suffering from this problem for ever I think. Is there any kind of solution to FSX not rendering low visibility until you are about 1000 feet AGL or so? It's SOOO un-realistic to be flying into an airport that is reporting IMC and being two or three thousand feet up and being able to perfectly see the entire airport then all of a sudded, POP, visibility is 2000 feet.I have REX and ASE Noah Bryant
June 10, 201015 yr I have this issue too. I use REX also. Id rather it get foggy at the ceiling of the fog rather than just 1000 AGL
June 10, 201015 yr I use REX and haven't noticed this, but have either of you checked on the REX forum about this?
June 10, 201015 yr This problem has been discussed multiple times ad nauseam. There is no prefect solution, it is some sort of limitation inside FSX engine. Michael J.

There is no prefect solution, it is some sort of limitation inside FSX engine.Agree, no real solution unless you take the time to set up your own weather with multiple layers of visibility restrictions, but who wants to do that when using real world weather.This is one of the biggest things I would like to see fixed if and when another version of flight sim comes.

June 10, 201015 yr Hmm - strange?! I have never noticed this limitation, but I'm fairly new to FSX (only use it since March).Wolfgang

I wonder why the payware software doesnt at least give you an option to change the default "height" of visibility... Noah Bryant
June 11, 201015 yr That's why you should ask the developers directly.I'm not sure if this trhead helps:http://realenvironmentxtreme.com/forum/ind...hp?topic=8819.0
