Did what you suggested (with all scenery/plugins except Gizmo, Active Sky, SMP+RWC disabled), with the following results: -HDR on/off does not make a difference -Deleting settings.dat no difference However, it only occurs under Vulkan, with OpenGL the layer does not vanish. Log_vulkan.txt Log_opengl.txt

Also happens without Active Sky, XP in manual weather mode with a single overcast cumulus layer, RWC in automatic mode. Edit: for comparison with SMP+RWC disabled and using X-Planes native clouds the layer does not vanish.

The vanishing overcast happens with all 6 overcast settings of SMP. Experimented a bit with Active Sky custom weather. If the overcast is composed of Cumulus clouds the layer does NOT vanish, if i set it to Stratus or CumuloNimbus it WILL vanish.

I have turned it on. Made a short recording of the glitch:

Just did another flight, a few scattered clouds, displayed as they should be. During the flight i changed a setting in SMP (turned cloud shadows off) causing SMP to redraw the clouds. Suddenly i am in a dense layer of fog. Said layer stops being displayed if i go above it, and if i go down it gets rendered again.

Edit2: Nope, happened again. Active Sky and ingame different weather. Cloud layer vanished when climbing above. Active Sky in SMP depiction mode, RWC in external injector mode. Edit: Upon further investigation, the cloud layer should have not been there in the first place, Active sky reported scattered clouds. In the root x-plane directory there was an additional, older MAXX_metar.rwx file (don't know where that came from). Deleting it i get the proper weather in game. With the latest version 4.9.4 in combination with Active Sky + RWC, i have the problem that the entire cloud layer vanishes if i go above it. First picture i am slightly above it, and second picture i moved the camera slightly up, the layer vanishes. Tested with X-Plane 11.50 beta 10 under vulkan.
