Hello commanders! I thought to ask this question in support, but I thought it was better to do it here in general. Well, I was approaching VIDP which was at 0 visibility at the time and was 10 miles and was able to see the entire runway. I’m not an expert in this situation, but as far as I know the “mist” would have to be denser, am I correct? And the procedure that was performing CAT II or III in ILS 29.
Remember that previous versions will be difficult to see aircraft and especially taxiway. I wonder if this is a known issue.
I think an approximation with 0 visibility would be something like the video below.
In my opinion a visibility that is “0” doesn’t make sense, but I can see the track. I think it takes away some of the fun.
Hello @Marina , how are you? Of course I will leave the link below.I mean at the VIDP airport it was with zero visibility information. And when I was approaching that airport, 10 miles from the landing, I was already seeing the runway.
Low visibility today is not like the video below.
Zero visibility should be denser fog. Did you understand my question?
So just to make sure I have this straight the METAR at the airport showed 0 for visibility but you could still see? What exactly did the METAR or weather say? Nearly 0 visibility definitely exists in Infinite Flight, so I would assume this was just foggy and not quite 0. If you could already see then runway at 10 miles than it should be reported basically clear on the weather.
@Murilo_Heindrich you’d need the METAR, not the visibility shown in the ATIS. The ATIS broadcasted information is not as detailed when visibility is 0.
ATIS will read out 0 but it may be a specific XX amount of meters or statue miles in the METAR.
Edit: For example, VIDP currently is at 1000 meters of visibility. If you play around with the visibility on solo then you’ll realize why having the exact visibility reading is important.
Yeah, Low rendering quality will cause fog to be less foggy, more see-through. Go on solo and play around with the visibility on short final. 100m, can’t see anything, 2000 meters (2.1km), you can see some portions of the ground but it’s still low visibility.
Edit: On all high graphics, same exact spot on short final.
Ive also had this as well. Recently on appr it was night time and i could see the whole runway. Usually after i land i change the time to day so i can actually see the taxiways properly and found out to my surprise that it was really low visibility. I would switch between day and jight and when it turns night i vould see the whole runway. Weird
Hi! @ralph_ocfemia I think it’s weird too. By day it is closer to reality. I found a photo and video of an approach possibly at night. Realize that when approaching 5 mn you can’t see the runway. Of course you can’t tell the conditions at that time, but the fog density is very different from day to night.
