xEnviro does a far better job with snow display than default.  I've used it for years.

Is xEnviro still relevent with X-Plane 12.3 considering the last update was a long time ago?

10 NM HAZE BUG since about 1998

This needs some research time. which I assume must be ongoing.  I am surprised the weather data Laminar use doesn't contain a visibility layer.  If the visibility is reporting 10 miles/km or more, use the forecasted visibility.

Hello.

You can use this plugin GitHub - hotbso/xa-snow

👍

Ah! Finally gave this one a try, and very happy with the results!!!

In default Xp12 I was starting my flights from LOWS where the town was covered with snow IRL, and it was actually snowing, and Xp12 didn't show even the slightest hint of it. In FS 2024 the snow was there 😕

With this handy pluggin I can get snow where it is supposed to be IRL, even when using real world weather.

Don't really knoiw what kind of option was that of calculating snow by accumulation, but starting from scratch at each session start 😕
