November 27, 20214 yr Hello, I'm having some issues with cloud base altitudes, when trying to create a low ceiling overcast cloud base is higher by 500ft to 1000ft than it should. I've discovered the issue while using active sky real live weather when on approach to an airport with OVC008 but broke out of the clouds at around 1800ft. The problem can be replicated easily when using either AS real live weather, AS manual weather or P3D weather menu (no AS at all) and with different graphic settings (EA on, EA on with volumetric clouds off and EA off - each setting creates a different offset). The following scenario: OVC003 set manually with P3D weather menu. Clouds are actually around 1500ft. FSUIPC log shows "Cloud1: type=9, from 300ft to 4300ft (+/- 0ft), cover 8, turb 0, ice 0" and "GLOB&A0 271259Z 00000KT&D609NG 100KM&B-457&D5029 8CU003&CU000FNVN000N 15/05 Q1013" I've tried to revert back to default textures and shaders and without any WX addons but that didn't fix it. Thanks Almog Atar

Thanks If you are using ASP3D, there is a setting in the options to move cloud bases up or down by feet Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10700F CPU @ 2.90GHz (8 cores) Hyper on, Evga RTX 3060 12 Gig, 32 GB ram, Windows 11, P3D v6, and MSFS 2020 and a couple of SSD's
