June 28, 200421 yr Hello,In a boeing full motion flight simulator one situation was kind of fog from 0 to 500 ft, but above 500 ft clear. So an overcast from ground to 500ft, above 500ft I can see the horizon, montains, etc.I was trying to reproduce that in FS2004 but I couldn't. I tried to set visibility at .5nm from 0 to 500 ft, but I still can see the ground in approach at 2000ft.I also tried to set an overcast cloud layer from 50 to 500ft, but using cumulus I see clouds even at 2000ft, if stratus I can see the ground.Thanks for any input,Ulisses
June 28, 200421 yr I've had the exact same experience and have not been able to correctly induce fog or a proper overcast. I have read many post by folks who have tried with varying degress of success. From what I hear, you either have to go back to FS2002 or hope the next version will have this corrected.BTW..... what sim did you fly in? I work for Flightsafety as a simulator tech. Full motion sims are a bit of a kick aren't they. :)
June 28, 200421 yr Author Hi,I was in a 747-200 and 767-300 (Varig Brasil training center), it is incredible how real are the movements and how simple are the graphicsActually I didn't look outside more than few seconds :)Now back to FS2004 overcast, I can't believe I can always see the ground, shame on Microsoft.Thanks !Ulisses
