precipitation and fog needs improvement

Featured Replies

It seems like precipitation can't be affected to a cloud layer, am I wrong ? it's just configured via general parameters of the weather

so what layer of cloud is generating the precipitation ? only the lowest one ? that's not good...

also, there is literally no fog.. I tried clouds at lowest altitude but the visibility can't be reduced very much

I flew live weather in Alaska about an hour ago, and there was wonderful fog. 

XP11 gets its weather info from METAR. Is MSFS2020 the same?

eg EGOS 182120Z 32001KT 9999 FEW040 16/15 Q1007

A few clouds at 4000 ft.

How does the Weather software interpret this? What type of cloud?

There is. It's aerosol. And with my testing, I can reduce visibility so much that i can't see something directly in front of me.
