Good evening Active Sky Support,
I'm fairly new to flightsimming and this evening I was at a friend's house, he has been telling me that I should invest in REX and Active Sky 2012. To heighten my enthusiasm to purchase REX and Active Sky 2012, he gave me a short demo flight, taking off from KHQM - Bowerman Airport, an airport, which according to him, is frequently fairly fogged in.
I was quite amazed at the way the visibility gradually got worse as the weather was loaded and then visibility seemed almost less than 100 ft after all was done loading and he took off. All seemed fine until he approached 4000 ft, then all of a sudden the sky cleared and after the aircraft banked and he slewed the view to the left, we could clearly see the airport below. In fact almost the entire surrounding area was visible right up to the horizon all around the aircraft?
I had a good laugh and said that it hardly seems realistic that an airport is totally fogged in at runway level and up to about 4000 ft, when the skies then suddenly totally clear up to reveal almost the entire surrounding area.
As I said, I'm fairly new to flight simming, is this phenomenon I witnessed tonight just a shortcoming of FSX with the combination of REX and Active Sky 2012, or has he just badly configured the programs.
Any help and answers are much appreciated.
Thanks in advance and regards,
Gottfried
