Valium Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Any chances when could settings are set to Ultra or High? Click here to see more pictures of Polish Air Force! Check also my album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fisherman82 Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 I hope this is not off topic but does anyone know what the numbers in the METAR codes in DCS for presets mean? As I understand it in a real METAR report the temperature and dew point are the numbers separated by /. In DCS presets METARS there are multiple instances of numbers separated by /. Are these temperature and dew points or does it mean the altitude for the cloud layers? Because in a real METAR should not the cloud layers be noted down like for example FEW025 BKN045 OVC080 meaning a few clouds at 2,500 ft., broken clouds at 4,500 ft., overcast at 8,000 ft? In DCS it is not entered like that. Does the values with / mean the level for where each cloud layer start and end if the base elevations slider is not changed after the preset has been selected? I have never understood this since the new weather system was released. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never understood this since the new weather system was released. The answer is not simple. If OAT is near DP, that means that humidity is high and (not always) it means that clouds will be low. We have also something like ELR, DALR, SALR. We have Lows, Highs, air masses, humidity, specific heat release with altitude, etc. If we talk about METAR - it's for aerodrome and usually (not always again) it contains important information about almost everything to 5000 ft above aerodrome (not always). Than we have GAMET - regional, TAF - forecast, VOLMET, AIRMET, SIGMET, Significants and also ATIS. That's all in case of EASA. And yes, you're right. METAR should not include all these information, just these in area to height of XYZ. In my opinion, all these bases/ceilings are for AMSL in case of DCS. If you set BKN020, you'll notice that in regions with higher elevation have clouds on ground. null In case of my home town.
