Sky Maxx Pro and stratified clouds

Recommended Posts

I am really enjoying Sky Maxx Pro, but under some circumstances, and even when I choose the highest level for overcast, I prefer the effects of default clouds for those specific situations that I describe bellow.

 

This happens when the cloud layers are stratified - Sc, Ns, St - are, at least here on my install, always represented by cumulus that I would as much consider as SCT.

 

This happens to BKN and OVC METAR reports.

 

I believe that in the first version I was able to see an OVC and even a BKN layer bellow me. It was a compact layer, with some "holes" in it :-)

 

John, do you plan to tune this kind of cloud layers even better for future updates?

Right the stratified layer is on its own,which is a flat layer.....  Ill talk with Frank and see if we can tie that into an overcast layer for a better representation....

 

Hang tight ;)
