December 19, 201114 yr I was hoping this item was solved throug AS2004, ASX, ASE, ASA.. I really dont hope I was stupid buying the new 2012 version.I hope I have just not understood the interface.Problem: Again, as always, not enough clouds where there is supposed to be packed, you can see blue sky throug big holes in the clouds.. I am very, very disappointed to see that my first flight in heavy snow was typically disturbed by blue sky here and there..Now:To get rid of this, I decided to try the edit wx-option, that way I can decide the cloud layers myself.- I turn off automatic updates.- in edit wx-page I enter airport A, and select three solid cloud layers, snow, and a low visibility. Then I set application range 100 statue miles, and press "apply now".I enter airport B (and surprised that the weather I entered for airport A is the same at airport B, even when it is several hundred miles between them...). I select only a light cirrus layer, good visibility. Application range 50 SM, and I press "apply now".At airport A the weather is now the same as airport B..So how exactly does this work? I want weather A at airport A and weather B at airport B. Of course I would like to see the bad weather approaching as I approach airport A.FSX, ASA2012, ORDER Number: 814968
December 20, 201114 yr You have DWC mode on? That injects weather globally I guess to keep You with as small amount of wind shifts as possible (plus other pros and some cons).Make sure, You have cloud density set to at least '8', preferably '12' (the last setting in unachievable via GUI, one have to set it it manually in fsx.cfg). I have seen many OVCs recently due to late fall season, I never knew the color of the sky until reaching ~FL250 Bartłomiej Ender
