November 19, 20214 yr When a METAR reports 10SM, the vis is 10 in the sim lol. This is a real bummer - I think XP had this issue for a while too. Hopefully they can address this along with the many bugs introduced. I'm not sure how it is outside USA, but 10SM here means unlimited visibility essentially. I loaded at Palm Springs and the cinematic showed 35 miles (so they have the data it just needs work). metarfears by Ryan Butterworth, on Flickr And this illustrates why this bug is a big deal. 10SM is rendering haze or fog (with colder temps), showing up as icing on my plane. metaricing by Ryan Butterworth, on Flickr | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |
November 19, 20214 yr I remember this on X-Plane, yes, but I guess this is now happening just in the US. I don't fly in the US and don't see this. In Europe it's 9999 and it's not limiting visibility.

November 19, 20214 yr I trust that they'll get this ironed out assuming it is some sort of European developer/ European weather provider metoblue overlooking what 10 SM means in the U.S., but yeah, this isn't great. Edited November 19, 20214 yr by MrNuke

November 19, 20214 yr Afraid it is much like the perception of thunderstorm lightening and thunder. I have checked several airports and haze/fog looks nice but is well overdone!

November 19, 20214 yr I believe automated weather stations are limited to 10SM. So it's max in US Life time flight sim enthusiast, current airplane owner 172P (past C182F).

November 19, 20214 yr Author Right - which is the issue here. Matt and I were quickly chatting on their Discord where someone had posted a nice picture of it - and I posted a pic of mine above. He was mentioning how does a PC differentiate between 10SM as unlimited vs 10SM? I'm not sure what the answer is but perhaps as a hotfix they could just make it unlimited...or read whatever the meteoblue area forecast data says. (in this case there was SOME data, because PSP was showing like 35 miles). | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |

That's only like 6ish statute miles though... are you seeing that low of vis in your area? Or is it correctly showing unlimited (or mostly unlimited)? | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |
November 19, 20214 yr Can confirm METARs aren't working properly. Just did coastal flight and landing reported 900OVC ceiling (PIREP for OVC 900-1300 layer as well). Was scattered clouds instead. Major bummer. SAR Pilot. Flight Sim'ing since the beginning.
November 19, 20214 yr You beat me to it, Ryan. Was just going to post about this ............... We're both from Minny and this so unrealistic for calm, clear, 26F conditions. Summertime yes. At least the metars were correct. Maybe they could (should've) conditioned this haze based on the temp/moisture/winds instead of 1 size fits all. Oh and I also hope they begin to adjust their AI tree algorithm's - there shouldn't be forests in the middle of farm fields. Seems much better flying over Iowa.

November 19, 20214 yr Author Yeah I submitted a comprehensive bug report to Zendesk.
