Lol, you guys are funnier than old reruns of In Living Color.

It's a beta. It's buggy. This is why it's called a beta. It is (maybe) neither stable, final, or better. This is why it's called a beta.

It's less buggy than SU7 stable FYI.

What's the status of the agl/msl cloud bug and 10SM visibility but affecting the USA?

FBW A320 is working again after making some changes in panel.cfg. It's documented well  here:

what took them so long? I mean the beta update 1.21.18 has been out for at least nearly 17 hours already.

Fixed according to release notes.

I can confirm that visibility has improved a lot even in cloudy weather, and fog/haze seems used properly. Did you see the video I posted?

Is this a cold fix or a hot fix?

I’m currently flying the beta for the first time.  I’m in VR and the menu problem is fixed as stated in the release notes.

Im flying DFW-LAS in the Longitude and so far the weather has been spot on with no harsh transitions and no 10SM haze around all the US airports.  I’m pretty satisfied right now.  We will see what the approach and landing has in store.  But DFW has low ceilings and fog and it matched the METAR when I departed.  It also looked great with some small peeks of sun coming through the FG/HZ at times just like it is outside right now.

Once I climbed above the fog later the breakout into the sun was awesome and as I went west the fog and low overcast started breaking up and there was no haze around the airports underneath.  So far so good!

The cloud level bug is still present, even after yesterday's beta update. For me, everything looks great and works great, except that the clouds are about 3000 feet below their proper altitudes. Push everything up 3000 feet, and all is well. As I said elsewhere, I don't think the in-sim Live Weather itself is misbehaving. I think the external data sources are misbehaving, depending on which server pipeline is being used. This would explain why some users are having no issues at all while others, like me, are seeing clouds almost at ground level.

Did they fix the issue with decreased performance after landing? memory leak maybe?
