Skymaxx

Using X-Plane 10.3 and the latest Skymaxx Pro, my iMac is unable to simulate fog.  Even with the visibility set to zero and clouds down to the ground, visibility is still clear when viewed from above.  Zero visibility doesn't take effect until the plane is almost on the ground.  Clouds are transparent viewed from above.  What settings will simulate fog and low overcast?

I assume you are manually injecting weather.

I suggest posting your x-plane rendering settings and a shot of your weather settings along with the SM ui.

Not having this info let me shoot in the dark.

1. Make sure volumetric fog is enabled in the x-plane rendering options.

2. Try the low overcast option this will draw a solid flat layer at a given altitude which may be what you are looking for.

Thanks.  I'll try your suggestions.  Skymaxx cloud fidelity varies from day to day.  Sometimes it is perfect and other times it is lousy.  Seems to me that Skymaxx works better if the sim is restarted after setting the weather if the cloud cover is being increased and Skymaxx gets confused if the settings are modified in flight.
