Will the smog of Mumbay (VABB) ever clear up?

Featured Replies

Now and then I set my destination to VABB and every time the city is covered in gigantic smog.

I get that ......but perhaps it's a bit overdone? there are other cities as well with this 'feature'.

Indias always smoggy it has the most population in the world.

Having flown many times into many Indian cities (as a passenger) , the smog effect is pretty realistic. You can of course turn off live weather if you want to see the city in clear air. 

Always check the METAR / TAF and see how close to reality it looks in MFS.

Most of the time really close, IMH.

I actually never saw most Indian cities without hazy smog layer, from my many visits there. In fact, what's not realistic is how all the haze clearing up once you a bit outside the metar area.

Though it has improved somewhat, the smog is ever-present.  I think I recall only one day in my visits to India (for real) that there were close to clear skies in Mumbai.  The 1st time I was there (1999) and stepped outside the terminal, it was as though someone had just sat on my chest or I had smoked several packs of Marlboros.
