fsuipc6 ASP3D erroneous visibility depiction at destination airport

[K.F.Chan]

I'm actually seeking for help here after I submitted a support request in Active Sky. They said it's an issue with FSUIPC. I flew from ZGGG to ZGHA last night, the visibility in ZGHA was 3200 meters at that time. However I only saw a visibility greater than 9999m at final approach stage. After I refreshed the weather in ASP3D debug page, the visibility reduced to normal.

I was using an unregistered FSUIPC v6.1.6, with default settings (ini files untouched). Aircraft is PMDG NGXu B737-800(no winglets). Haven't tested with other aircrafts.

Then I tried again from ZGHA to ZHHH, visibility in ZHHH was 4000m. This time I completely uninstalled FSUIPC and surprisingly the visibility depiction at final approach is totally normal. It adds to my concern that it's an issue with FSUIPC.

The FSUIPC log file is attached.

FSUIPC6 really cannot have anything to do with it. I've written to HiFi Simulation asking what on Earth they mean by blaming FSUIPC.

Haha, I have an update here as they replied that FSUIPC seems not to be causing the issue. Thanks for your reply anyway.

To clarify, we never blamed FSUIPC for anything.  We were trying to rule things out after older or invalid FSUIPC installation was identified, as part of our normal troubleshooting steps.  There are multiple visibility issue reports since 5.3 that we are trying to understand and help resolve if we can.  Can you please respond on the ticket so we can try and assist?  Thank you much, have a great one.
