Two threads that may be of interest:
Reported numerously in several topics… visibility (not due clouds) is not implemented nor adjustable.
Please implement this critical weather behavior.
An example when looking up bad weather airports.
Real METAR:
VOCI 221430Z 28003KT 4500 HZ FEW080 29/22 Q1011 NOSIG
SIM reported weather is not too off, 3KM visibility - see ATIS captured in the screenshot.
However, horizontal visibility is unaffected.
Please also vote for this very relevant wishlist topic, as it getting significant number …
The current weather system does not allow a visibility below approximately 3000 m (aerosol density 100%) and no low visibility take-offs and or landings are therefore possible. It is possible to put the cloud ceiling on ground level, but precise control of visibility / RVR is unavailable currently.
Also “aerosol” sounds fancy but its not very practical it would be better to change it to visibility / RVR with absolute values in meters / km or miles rather than %.
It is a bit hit and miss for me. Sometimes I have seen an excellent representation of low visibility in accordance with the corresponding metar and at othertimes it is as you describe.
