How can i distinguish on the map between "perfect vmc conditions" and "no data available"?
In the screenshot there is a rectangular area, that has probably no data. This area, which was in fact not flyable in vmc, is displayed exatly the same way as the area west of the green stripe, which had in fact perfect vmc conditions.

It is not uncommon to see straight lines in the "edges" of bad weather as depicted in Flyable Conditions, I just scrolled around Europe right now and was able to observe them. Why these occur, I cannot say, I presume they're the result of the original satellite imagery and the forecast model processing.

The fact that one of these edges occurred at a latitude grid line makes you think this is a bug in SkyDemon. I disagree; it's inevitable that sometimes these will occur on a grid line.

Tim,
Which one is it? sat imagery or forecast modeling? Once you say it has no coverage defined because it's a forecast model, now it's due to sat images.
I completely agree that the 'good weather' vs 'we have no clue' areas MUST be easily distinguishable. I can also accept that you have no influence, as the data was like that from the provider. However, you also need to accept that we are not the ones with any knowledge/influence on that provider, but you are.
