There is a probleme where the ATIS and METAR system doesnt show the same values.
The dewpoint is stuck at 10C (on ATIS) which makes every temperature below 0 Degrees Celcius a Freezing condition.
I tried to remove the Icing conditions via the menu but I always get visual effects no matter what.
That means NO VFR flights until the temperature goes back up positive.
I’m pretty sure everyone has the same problem.
DO YOU ?
Brief description of the issue: Just reporting that the Dew Point is never supposed to be higher than the reported temp. Live weather seams to be good . In the real world FOG happens when the Temp and Dew Point are at the same such as Temp 7 and DP 7 than you have fog and as a rule the DP can not ever be higher than the Temp. Getting it with selecting the weather such as clear skies or any others. Thanks Scooter

I think the dewpoint/humidity just hasn’t been implemented yet, and remains a gaping hole in the weather system. That’s why you can’t set humidity in the Weather menu, and why the visibility remains pretty much unlimited clear of clouds, rain and aerosol particulate. The dewpoint temperature in the ATIS readout is probably just the untouched default value.
It’s been that way since launch, but right after SU6, I saw ATIS report the dewpoint at 13° once. (In my best Danny Vermin voice) Once. Since then, it’s been back to 10°.
Since a picture is worth 1000 world, I’ll let this Annotated Screen Shoot speak for itself.
At least at this point’ I;d be happy if the DP was reasonable – especially with all the current talk in the forum about Visibility HAZE and Low Cloud / Fog !!!
I haven’t had the icing problem with OAT < 0C & dewpoint @ 10C, but in the beta the ATIS seems to report 10C dewpoint regardless (for me at least). I suspect the dewpoint in the sim is NOT that high (no icing, viz excellent) even though it is reported at 10C.
One example, the real METAR temp was something like 5C/M2C but reported 6C/10C by ATIS (on a 2hr flight through various METAR areas). So I think they have partially addressed the issue in the beta but ATIS doesn’t consistently match what is simulated on all the parameters (viz, cloud heights, dewpoint). I have yet to check that on preset weather in the beta.
That’s virtually impossible, especially at ground level, without some sort of precipitated water in the air, most likely in the form of dense fog. Supersaturation causes instability, so any impurities like dust or soot (from engine exhaust) will cause immediate condensation.
I agree. Since the actual viz in the beta corresponding to that ATIS report was much greater than 10sm, implies a problem in the ATIS system interpreting the simulator weather state. That condition, although still undesirable is far better than it was in SU7. Hopefully, once the final “hotfix” is published the ATIS will at least correlate with the simulated weather state. Obviously that shouldn’t be the only thing that gets corrected.

Brief description of the issue:
for about the last 4 months every atis report has the dewpoint at 10c. when flying in colder temps this causes the plane to frost over and make visibility 0
