Layer of unlimited visibility inbetween

Featured Replies

Hi devs,

 

I seem to have an issue with the visibility layers:

 

Regardless which (surface) visibilty I set, at altitude there always seems to be a layer of unlimited visibilty which would be alright if there wasnt another layer (looks like a visibility layer) on top. (Its always there unless I choose one of the preset "weather themes")

 

This leads to a (not very nice looking) depiction as shown in the images.

 

I'd say the layer described (at high altitude) is a visibility layer because it makes no difference if I enable/disable Cirrus clouds.

 

I can clearly see at high altitudes (> 18000 ft in this case), when i am on top of ALL the layers the depiction is fine. But at altitudes inbetween I always got that "unlimited layer" which shows up as a "horizontal bar of sky along the horizon". Not nice...

 

Is there a way to also restrict visibility at all levels? Best would be a "gradual" visibility smoothing like ASE does.

 

Regards

Robert

Hi Robert

 

It looks like the cloud of doom to me, you can follow our FAQ to remove it. If you set a preferred visibility in our weather dialog then it only comes into play whenever the METARs report CAVOK, otherwise the METAR visibility is used.
