| Recommended value: 75%. | |
| Refresh Interval | This slider controls how often the weather is updated from the servers. The more you set this slider, the more often the weather will be updated. Recommended value: 40 min. |
| Minimum RVR | This slider controls the minimum runway visual range. More than you set this slider - more quality visibility you will have instead of IRL synopsis. |
| Recommended value: 0 m. | |
| Minimum Braking Action | This slider controls the minimum breaking action. More than you set this slider - The better your runway braking action will be regardless of the actual synopsis. |
| Recommended value: 70%. | |
| Weather Interpolation Scale | This slider controls the level of scattering when interpolating the weather grid. The more you set it, the greater will be the interpolation factor. |
| Recommended value: 0% (We recommend this to 0-10%, and only exceptionally if the weather is described incorrectly to increase it.) | |
| Live Seasons | This button is responsible for the automatic change of seasons. |
| Attention! This only works when live weather is enabled. | |
| Recommended value: On. | |
