Is your problem due to the fetched METAR visibility being incorrect or is the fetched METAR data correct but not being used correctly? When you increase the visibility manually do you see any terrain that is further away than ~12nm? I see the white sky problem too. I've noticed that once I get above ~8000ft asl the sky, starting at the corners of the screen become white. As I continue climbing it looks as though the sky has been reduced to a single polygon and if I bank and turn the poly appears to rotate. Actually, I think the poly doesn't change it's alignment - the apparent rotation being due to the change in heading. I thought it might be possible that the white sky problem is related to the terrain clipping problem, so I was going to see the outcome of that before I raised the white sky issue:) LeeE ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
