Cloud not depicting (B651)

Featured Replies

Hi,I am having all sorts of problems depicting low level cloud.1) FS92) B6513) DWC enabledI flew into Hamburg (EDDH) last night, and was greatly looking forward to the approach. The METAR was giving 5000 BR OVC005. This is what we have also been reporting at work (London) all week. I would expect to be firmly in the white stuff all the way down approach, not seeing the runway, and popping out at around 500ft to be welcomed by some bright runway lights.Instead, on the fight from London there was lovely overcast all the way, but as I descended towards Hamburg this changed. At the FAF altitude of 3000ft, the ground clearly visible through what could only be termed FEW/SCT cloud. At 2500 feet on the ILS about 8 miles out, it was like flying in CAVOK weather.I checked the stations all the time using the Report Screen (with the 'Lock to Closest' ticked. It was showing 5000 BR OVC005 at all the different stations, including EDDH.I remember in AS6 you could select an option to lock the WX to destination airfield 80nm out. Although there is a similar option in ASE, it just doesn't work.I am getting fed up at being excited about an imminent approach in bad weather only to be confronted with glorious conditions.Please, please, please enable an option to lock the whole WX area near the destination airport to a fixed WX. Your interpolation system just does not seem to work.ThankNeil CulverhouseOrder id: #232432

Just made another flight.This time my departure airport ATIS was giving 1600 BR BKN003 OVC003. I checked in ASE and this was confirmed.On departure, I still had a lovely view of the ground all the way up to 12000ft. OVC at 300ft should mean that you disappear into the cloud at 300ft, and see nothing from then on until you emerge above the cloud, at which point you probably still won't see the ground.On approach to LOWS the WX was 1600 BR OVC005, however I saw the ground from 4000ft downwards, with just a few tufts of cloud around.Please fix this. I use your program to simulate good IFR conditions, only it doesn't!:-(Neil
