wain Posted March 18, 2018 Report Posted March 18, 2018 So a few times today I have been trying start procedures on new aircraaft at EGGD, I live near there so I know ther area for short training on new aircraft... anyway we have full cloud cover and today have had some snow....however SMP shows broken cloud and blue sky, so I want to understand my setting a bit more, I only have cloud coverage set to 10000sqkm, but I assumed from the ground that would still look fully covered, tell my please if I am wrong, I also have RWC set to ignore XP weather and never change, now does the info come from metar or something? is that read by RWC and if I stay in the vacinity of one airport will that never change because of my setting? Not complaining, I really like SMP and have had earlier versions I just think I may still have it set wrong, I still can't use it with Carenado though, fps way to low at times.....
wain Posted March 18, 2018 Author Report Posted March 18, 2018 2 shots of broken cloud and my SMP settings, I guess the 10000sqkm is what adjust the distance around the edge?
sundog Posted March 18, 2018 Report Posted March 18, 2018 It uses METAR reports from surrounding airports in this case. I'm guessing one of them are not reporting completely overcast conditions and so you're seeing some breaks in the clouds.
wain Posted March 19, 2018 Author Report Posted March 19, 2018 ok thats understandable, tried it today and looks superb with terramaxx snow, we actually had snow yesterday which is quite rare...
