What is going on???

[malombroso]

Hi. Is your program compatible with FS Global Real Weather? I was flying over an area with clouds and after there was an area with clear skies. As soon as I left the cloudy area, the clouds behind me disappeared and all around was clear. I tried to do a 180 degrees turn to go back on the area with clouds but nothing happend. No clouds anymore! The weird thing is that if I was opening the map in xplane, it was showing the area with clouds near me, but no clouds were visible outside the window. For the weather injection I use FSGRW. 

I attach two pictures to show what happens...  (first two)

 

I also tried to uninstall Skymaxx and did the same fligth with the same weather and with default xplane clouds everything was working  fine! See last picture attached)

 

Another thing is the distance the clouds are shown. The slider is fully right but I still see the "square" lines around the aircraft, but as far as I understood the clouds should extend till the horizon... 

 

Please let me know.

 

Cheers

Stefano,

 

Due to limitations in the X-Plane SDK, the surrounding clouds around you are depicted on your current METAR positions. Far out formations will not remain. This has been around since v1 of SMP, and is simply because we don't have the access we need at this time to correct the behavior.

 

We have a few ideas in place to solve this. They are major workarounds, but for now things are status quo and what you're seeing is nothing new.
