Got it - thanks - as I said staring me right in the face. 

So, am I right in thinking that we have 3 different ways of setting the vis:

1. z/Z - works with Basic Weather - sets the vis directly. Does not work
with Advanced Weather, but is still available when that option is selected
and looks as if it should work.

2. Slider in Advanced Weather - Advanced Settings - sets a max value . The
displayed vis in the min value of this and the value derived by Advanced
Weather. (Is this true? I'm only inferring this).

3. Checkbox named realistic visibility in Advanced Weather - Advanced
Settings. What does this do? I can't see any effect here.

I used the old terms Basic/Advanced Weather, but I note that these have
disappeared from the GUI. How would the user know why or when he would chose
ether option? Scope for some rationalisation here I would think.

I'm extremely disappointed to see that while I was off on a short holiday
that this discussion has deteriorated to the point that one of a valued
developers feels that he can no longer contribute to FG.
