flightyler Posted January 23, 2021 Report Share Posted January 23, 2021 When I descend through a overcast layer into fog the clouds disappear the visibility improves and then the fog snaps in. 1886294421_TBM900-2021-01-2312_17_38.avi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sundog Posted January 23, 2021 Report Share Posted January 23, 2021 That's pretty weird. What is your cloud draw area set to? Increasing it may help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daikan Posted January 24, 2021 Report Share Posted January 24, 2021 IMO this is a long known X-Plane limitation / bug. Here's a video showing what happens using vanilla X-Plane 11.51 and weather manually set to RVR 1200m and overcast cumulus bottoms at 2000ft MSL while transitioning from the ground at 1200ft MSL into the cloud layer (looking straight down in this case): ec135 - 2021-01-24 21.51.01_Trim.mp4 Here's the same movement using a different perspective (looking slightly downward): ec135 - 2021-01-24 22.12.19_Trim.mp4 You can see how visibility temporarily "snaps" from foggy to a complete whiteout followed by a sudden change to perfect ground visibility shortly before entering the actual cloud layer. This example is more drastic due to the very low visibility chosen but I think it's the same effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjaprud Posted January 25, 2021 Report Share Posted January 25, 2021 I use the X-visibility FlyWithLua plugin to mitigate the whiteout issue. I'm not sure if that would improve on OP's issue though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyAgi Posted January 25, 2021 Report Share Posted January 25, 2021 SMP is not affected by the XP white-out effect but has its own logic for this when using certain types of clouds (volumetric clouds and procedural overcast clouds). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
