Try Lukla airport, built by Sir Hillary... ;)http://www.itsnotpersonal.com/fly/images/19_fsscr049.jpghttp://www.itsnotpersonal.com/fly

新年快乐！In Mandarin (Chinese), from Singapore...:)

#8's response does work even if you use real weather. After you download real weather, the settings for all stations remain even if you need to tweak individual stations to accommodate for the fog issue...>Thanks for sharing your technique. I only use real>(online) weather though and I'm not sure your workaround would>be applicable to this kind of situation. I sure will give>your idea a go though, thanks again!http://www.mybaobao.org/fly/images/banner.gifhttp://www.itsnotpersonal.com/fly

I don't think the slider you refer to refer to the idea of 'weather changing from one station to another'. I think the slider refers to the rate of change of the weather pattern around a particular station over a period of time.I've been experimenting with your first problem, and I also think it's the only frustrating thing in the otherwise excellent fs9. The crux, I think, is not only the lack of a gradual change in visibility. The main problem is really how the algoritm of the program interprets the idea of 'visibility'.I think the MS guys know it, and it probably requires an overhaul of the weather system, so maybe it'll come out in fs10. The current visibility model interprets visibility as 'draw the surrounding areas using the visibility dictated by the cooordinates of the plane', but in real life, it's really 'draw the surrounding areas using the visibility dictated by the cooordinates of the plane + accomodating for the visibility of a certain area when its visibility is less than the current visibility'.If the MS guys can solve this, then we'll have a much more realistic rendering...someone correct me if I've got my analysis wrong...;)

I'm also having this sort of fog, which is the ONLY significant bug/problem I'm having with FS2004 right now. The go-around that I'm aware of is to increase the height of that visibility layer to be above the height of the highest hill or mountain. Anyone has any other ideas? :)www.itsnotpersonal.com/fly/images/banner.gifwww.itsnotpersonal.com/fly

You can go tohttp://support.dell.com/FileLib/Type.aspx?...0&DeviceID=100229.63 was the last version that was quite flawless, then came a few others after that that had bugs, and now the 44.82 drivers appear to be quite flawless as well...

Cloud, I'm also using the I8100, and although the fog doesn't display properly if the visibility layer is below the height of a mountaintop on my machine, it still doesn't look as bad as yours. (Maybe it's because I have 32mb video ram?). Why don't you try downloading the latest 44.82 Dell drivers that was just released a few days ago and see if that helps...http://www.itsnotpersonal.com/fly/images/banner.gifhttp://www.itsnotpersonal.com/fly

Microsoft has our bridges! :D

What got me into flight simulation was a picture of the globe at the back of the box of MSFSim 5.1., claiming if I bought the thing, I could fly round the world. And I thought to myself, "And a computer game can do THAT?!"So I was still sceptical of how they can put the world into a CDRom and after a few months learning about vors and the basics, I decided to test it by flying from Singapore to Thailand to see how accurate the whole thing was. All I had was an atlas, a protractor and a long ruler. I somehow manage to get Bangkok's airport's ATIS (think it was on the cdrom), and used the protractor to measure the angle between the 2 countries. I took off from Singapore's Changi not knowing whether I would reach anywhere since I had only a bearing and an ATIC freq. The sudden faint crackle of Thailand's atis was the most incredible thing in the world. 5.1's claims were right, this thing really works!And when I was in the army, they charted a 747-400 to take us to Taiwan for exercises, and I had the fortune to sit in first class for free. Not satisfied with playing around with the huge reclining seat, I walked up the stairs and wanted to look around the cockpit. A young pilot came out and we started talking...waypoints, navigation,....and I just couldn't believe it, I was holding a fasinating conversation with a pilot all because I had been playing this interesting little computer game...:)I haven't played for quite a while since FS2000, forgotten most of the stuff... will be getting COF though.
