Mikkel Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 Hi Skymaxx, Out of curiousity, I wonder how Skymaxx and RWC represents overcast layers from metars? I very briefly tried loading the sim at an airport where the NOAA plug-in reported OVC but what I saw was some broken layer and no the overcast layer set in Skymaxx (and no, it isn't set to dense or sparse particles :-)). If I get the time I will take some screenshots. Best regards; Mikkel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sundog Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 Unless the entire surrounding area is reporting OVC at roughly the same level, SMP/RWC will represent smaller areas of OVC clouds as either "sparse" or "dense" particles. You might want to set SMP to dense particles to ensure maximum coverage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaborandy1 Posted September 29, 2016 Report Share Posted September 29, 2016 I was flying this morning around 3 to 4 o'clock am. . KOAK (Oakland ) was reporting ovc009, no other clouds specified on the metar. KSFO the same thing. Did change cloud representation to dense particles and the only thing I saw in the sky was few clouds, metar was updated. Used xnoaa with Ventura sky and then swapped to fsgrw and no change at all. Skymaxx is awesome but unfortunately it doesn't represents overcast layers the way it was supposed to be. But I know it will , u guys put a lot of time on this product . Thanks for your dedication.w Looking forward to new updates. God bless you all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
