November 9, 20214 yr Today i flied to delhi india, metar says smoke and visibility 2k meters. But when i arrived to delhi, there is no smoke and visibility ok. I think smoke is not simulated by weather engine, Right? Edited November 9, 20214 yr by spitzer45 C. Uygar Aircraft Maint. Engineer. at LTFJ
November 9, 20214 yr The weather engine doesn’t take metar visibility into account for the visuals. All it uses is the wind, pressure and temperature when near airports. The visuals come from meteoblue’s forcast data. And it probably doesn’t simulate smoke either way. Edited November 9, 20214 yr by Tuskin38

Maybe some day, third party developers will write a program like active sky based on metars. But for now it seems there is no work around. C. Uygar Aircraft Maint. Engineer. at LTFJ
