Take note sim companies, you won't get my money ever again unless you deliver a fully working product. Forgive me, I don't understand what you mean. Whether you can see the airport or pieces of scenery around the airport depends entirely on the weather visibility. If the visibility says 5 nm you will see this: If the visibility says 50 nm you will see this: I took these photos a few years ago at Malpensa airport, positioned in the same spot with the camera pointing towards the control tower. The mountains on the horizon are the Alps and are 40 miles away from my shooting point. If XP12 RC - with the same weather conditions - respects these photographs, it means that it works correctly. If, however, with the same weather visibility, XP12 does not respect those photographs (for example, visibility is reported as 40 miles, but the Alps are not clearly visible as in the photo) then it means that it is bugged. You who previously wrote your comment, what did you notice that was abnormal in your 12.1 RC ? It's simple curiosity.

I guess you will never be using any more sims. your lack of understanding of the complexities of flight simms baffles me. As for the weather, if the world could provide all the data necessary to get real real weather, the internet bandwidth would not be enough and there would be no hardware in this world that would be able to process it all. Billion dolllar super computers cant do it,

Without more information I can't understand what you mean. How high above the scenery are you flying? What does the weather report say? Are you using real weather? Are you using some old (or outdated) addon that might interfere with XP12's weather representation? Maybe if you post a couple of pictures of your 12.1 we can figure something out.

July 13, 20241 yr I think what @drix9 is calling out is the lack of proper visibility (or the lack thereof) depiction when viewed from an above layer. So say something like this: I think he does have a point actually and even Austin IIRC mentioned that along with precipitation affecting light scattering and visibility (i.e. rain shafts) as something needed for a Level-D certificate as well. This is quite common with temperature inversion, morning mist etc... Edited July 13, 20241 yr by Inu
July 14, 20241 yr What's wrong in all versions of XP 12 on my end is the cloud layers, not the visibility. When I set a 200 ft ceiling and I'm at 300 ft, I should be in the cloud and not able to see the ground. XP 12 still can't do this, but XP 11 can.
