Hi folks,
I set the weather via the METAR-like API. Some disturbing facts occur to me and I need an explanation and/or a fix from the Prepar3d folks.
Q1: I set a clear skies METAR, no clouds at all. Prepar3d removes any clouds immediately. After some minutes, however, small clouds begin to form out of the blue. They vanish if I update the METAR string regularly - but this has other effects (e.g. the cumuli clouds change and this is visible to the user). I can attach a screenshot if necessary.
Q2: OVC is not really overcast, more like broken. How can I generate a really overcast cloud layer?
Q3: Lifting the clouds above 20000ft makes them to cirrus like clouds. How can I prevent this?
Thanks,
DevSim
