Can anyone suggest the best setting for clouds a visibility in FS9.

Performance isn't an issue, what I'm trying to do is avoid the sudden drop is visibility I seem to get when I go from one layer with good vis to another (normally lower) when the visibility drops to say 4 miles.

No matter what settings I choose, there is always a moment when the vis drops a lot to the minimums set by FSMeteo.

What I'm trying to say is that right at the lat minute the gradual reduction if visibility doesn't seem to work. The last little bit all happens at once.

I am getting a gradual reduction and I can control to rate through FSUIPC, it just the last little bit. I have an ATI 9800 128 Mb card with the latest driver. Am I looking at a problem with it or a limitation of FS9?

Sorry for the delay in replying -- I've been on holiday with no Internet access. I'm just trying to catch up with an enormous backlog now!

I cannot make that happen here -- but enable graduation, with the lower altitide set to 0 so it joins the surface layer.

Maybe what you are really seeing is the added FS thin cloud layer at the top of the visibility layer, but as I say I can't see that here.
