  1. I did some experimentation in 10.50 this morning. KFDK was showing real world METAR with OVC013. I took off from KFDK and reached 2000 ft. without any decrease in visibility. The Cloud Area Covered in SMP was set to 10137 sq. km. I then decreased the Cloud Area Covered to 5192 sq. km and I was then in zero/zero visibility at 2380 ft. So far so good. This was with solid stratiform. However, when I climb above the stratus deck, the weather goes CAVU, i.e. I can see straight through to the ground. When I test this in 10.45, I correctly see a stratus deck underneath me. Note that I double checked 10.45 and the SMP plugin shows ver 3.2.1. Sparse particles works correctly as well even at 10137 sq. km, i.e. zero/zero visibility. However, when I set it on dense particles, the weather goes CAVU. As an instrument rated pilot practicing instrument approaches in x-plane, I'm trying to get the most realistic entry and exit into cloud decks.
  2. Real world METAR for KRDU is showing overcast at 800 ft. When I fly this in 10.45, I'm in the soup at 800ft. When I fly this in 10.50b5, It's basically CAVU all the way to 2,300+ ft. (as high as I flew). I have attached screen shots and log files from both installations.
