I was trying to set up a flight at JFK this morning, and the visibility should have been less than one mile. When I loaded the sim up the visibility was correct, but after ASE finished configuring the weather the visibility suddenly increased. When I disabled visibility graduation and smoothing the visibility went back to <1. After I switched this setting back on the visibility suddenly increased again. Is there any way to leave this setting on and have the correct visibility on the ground? Thanks.

Hi,Try not to make those changes all in one flight. Start AS then FS, then let things process, and yes at one point AS is going to clear out the weather in FS. Then it should inject the data into FS and that data should stick. Depending on your system, this whole process should take 5-8 minutes. Give that a try and see what happens for you and please report back here.

I started ASE, then FSX, I loaded up the flight and waited ten minutes and I got the same result. Then, I closed everything, restarted ASE and unchecked visibility graduation and smoothing, started FSX and loaded up the flight and waited ten minutes and the weather was correct. This is the METAR from ASE: KJFK 281351Z 18024G33KT 0SM R04R1200FT -RA FG VV001 1514 A2972 RMK AO2 PK WND. I took screenshots of each so you could see the difference.The first one is with visibility graduation on, and the second is with it off.

Hi,I will try this out tonight on my set up and I'll see what results I get.

Hi,I did try this and I was getting the same result as you. I did some troubleshooting and determined that some of that code in that METAR was causing this. How I concluded this was to go the the Wx Config screen and load up that METAR and this removed some of the code. The important information was still present. I submitted that to FSX and then everything displayed correctly using that setting On and Off.

Thanks for looking into this.
