Clouds Question

Featured Replies

Hi community,

 

I seem to have a minor issue with clouds within the sim. I'm almost sure that this is me though......LOL.

 

I usually do flights around Europe, usually of 1-3 hours duration. I'm using REX Essentials for my clouds (which I am VERY happy with) however, at the altitudes I fly at (20-25,000 feet) there always appears to be no cloud. I am not using real world weather, I have a profile set up in REX that I like, but I get a feeling the issue is within FSX, not REX.

 

I usually get the cloud layers between 6k feet and 10k feet, and at altitude, I can see the upper level cloud........it's fairly high though; I'm guessing around 45k feet.

 

So, can anybody help? I'm sure I'm making a simple mistake.

 

Thanks. :-)

Kind regards,

 

Andrew.

Have you customized the cloud altitude regions in Advanced Weather in User-defined weather? I am not sure, however, whether there are many clouds at those altitudes. On real-world commercial flights, I have only observed thick clouds during climb and descent and at altitudes far above cruising altitude.
