July 25, 20196 yr A new pet peeve of mine with FSX ever since I started real-world flying lessons is when I fly below low clouds. For example I am at an altitude of 3,000 feet MSL and the clouds' base is 4,000 feet. I feel like I have sufficient separation from those clouds but if I get too close, all of a sudden my entire visibility from the virtual cockpit is all grey (to simulate being inside a cloud, similar to what I see out of the windows of passenger jets). In a recent real-life I flew above the clouds and as long as I stayed away from those clouds to comply with VFR flight rules, I could still see my surroundings. I was much closer to the actual clouds than I was when flying in FSX. What fixes or workarounds do you use to reduce the incidences of you view suddenly thinking you had flown inside a cloud when you have not yet flown inside a cloud? For those of you who only use FSX without add-ons, the in-cloud view looks clear blue rather than grey. One of my add-ons changed the color to grey for realism. For everyone's reference I use those add-ons for my environment: -Active Sky Next -FSUIPC -PrecipitFX -REX Sky Force -Steve's DirectX 10 Fixer Thank you for any insight.

I'll report back if I still get no joy.
