But they also only happened when spawning on the runway. I could have the G3000 active and spawn into a parking spot and it was fine. I was able to continue working and the G3000 will be all brand new anyway eventually so I didn't really worry about it past that point. I notified WT about the issue but they have bigger fish to fry right now. I don't think it will be an issue most likely once I am able to get the airport finished. I am still working on it but progress is slow. It's all done in my spare time and right now that has been very limited. Thanks for asking though! Hopefully I will make more progress soon because I am ready to start tackling another airport project. Interesting that the culprit was the g3000. Glad you're still making progress. Up until msfs2020 I was still fsx'ing and one of my last flights was out of your KAFW - you did a fantastic job on that project, much appreciated. I was dabbling in airport design back then, but no time now with business, especially trying to learn new tools/techniques/SDK/constant sim changes, so I definitely understand your pain. Nice to see your still at it and I can't wait for your first release to ms2020. Regards, Kendall 7800X3D/G.B.

Even when the ambient temperature and humidity says it's "fake news"! Today I finally decided to just read metars and totally ignored ATIS/AWOS. I was hoping to to fall to sleep more quickly tonight, but alas I may not be able to see the sheep to count them.....

November 20, 20214 yr I just did a full daylight flight to see what was going on with the WX in SU7 (KSRQ-KSBN in A32NX). Flight started great out of KSRQ....weather looked good, none of this haze that is being talked about. All the way up to cruise was great. Descent into South Bend Indiana, KSBN so far so good and once at about 20k....bamm, there is some kind of odd haze layer injected. Continuing descent...there it goes again..another strange haze layer and then again on final an abrupt visibility change....ughh. I wouldn't mind the haziness as much but it appears we now have abrupt transitions....nooo!! MS/Asobo...why????!!

This will make you properly fly VFR. As in you now need to follow scenery contours, rivers or infrastructural elements (road, train track) to find your way. VFR is not just looking 30 nm in to the distance and point at you destination. You can still fly VFR with 8km/5nm visual range. Under certain circumstances this can even be reduced.
November 20, 20214 yr 10 hours ago, Stearmandriver said: Part of the problem, which has been mentioned elsewhere, is that live weather seems to be interpreting 10SM on a METAR as literally 10 miles vis, not 10 or greater. Sure doesn't explain why haze would be present in manually set clear weather though. I has an experience similar to your first shot yesterday flying into egtk. Apparently 10 miles visibility but couldn't see the airport until I was virtually on top of it. This is going to make life very difficult.
November 20, 20214 yr IMO the haze and the weather presentation has become incredibly worse since SU7. The haze is totally exaggerated, sometimes you cannot see the runway till the last 10 feet above it (like in dense fog), the clouds partially look like FS2004 clouds now, smoke clouds on the grund, no I am not amused.

November 20, 20214 yr Another flight into EGTK today. METAR said visibility 9999 but I couldn't see the runway until I was a mile or less from it because of the haze.
