SkyMaxx 3.2 cloud layer suddenly turned all white

[stolowski]

I was in the mid of my flight at FL270 with lots of clouds around when suddenly the cloud layer (ground?) turned all white - see attached screenshots (the second screenshot shows my settings at the moment this happened). I managed to get back to normal conditions by modyfing SkyMaxx settings a couple of times and finally resetting them to defaults.

I haven't experienced anything like that prior to 3.2 release (I've been using SkyMaxx Pro for approx. 2-3 months; I also use Real Weather Connector).

Hi there,

Can you also attach your log.txt file from the X-Plane folder?

Thanks!

Looks to me as though you flew into the scud layer just inside a stratus cloud. As you enter a solid stratiform cloud, the ground below you starts to fog out as you get deeper inside of it. That's how it's supposed to work.

If you find this distracting, you can set your overcast representation setting to sparse or dense particles instead.

Hi,

Unfortunately, I don't have the log from that session anymore, it got overwritten by my next flight... I'll make sure to grab the log next time I see something unexpected. In the meantime I'll try sundog's suggestion about changing overcast representation.

Thanks!
