Hi,
New to Flightgear. The default visibility for the Basic weather is always 16093.4 meters above 5000 feet and 19312.1 meters below 5000 feet each time I startup Flightgear 3.0. This is a very low visibility. I would like the default visibility to be around 50000 meters or 50 kilometers. But I can't figure out how to change these default values. I have to manually change these everytime I start Flightgear. Setting visibility in the command line doesn't work.
OS is Windows 7.
Graphics card 9800GT
Flightgear 3.0

Try this on command line instead, should give fair weather with 30 miles visibility:
--metar="XXXX 012345Z 15003KT 30SM SCT041 FEW200 20/08 Q1015 NOSIG"
The 30SM part tells the visibility.
--metar="XXXX 012345Z 15003KT 30SM SCT041 FEW200 20/08 Q1015 NOSIG"
The 30SM part tells the visibility.
