What ist the difference between the Clouds in Virtual Radar with „Flyable“ switched on or off?
The Manual says „If you have the Flyable Conditions overlay switched on, the Map Ruler will also display a layer of forecast cloud ceiling...“.
Both Picture show the forecast according to the setting „Today or tomorrow“. Left with „Flyable“ switched off; right with Flyable switched on. Why does Flyable „add“ clouds?

METAR are recent observed conditions in the area of the airfield.

Flyable Conditions is a forecast.

They are two different things.

They are two different things.

So, the left picture shows the METAR of the current situation, right? But this is only the case, if „Today or Tomorrow“ is selected. If I select a certain date (even if the date is Tomorrow), the clouds in VR disappear.

And the left picture shows a forecast for „Today or Tomorrow“, which, I think is not possible for such a big timespan. So I get a Forecast for Today od Tomorrow, and again do not get the same Forecast for a dedicated date Tomorrow.
