Precipitation should be pretty clear, just notice that only one of snow or rain can be active at one time, and that the change is smoothed, so you have to wait some time to see the full effect of the precipitation. QNH is where to set the pressure at sea level. | Precipitation should be pretty clear, just notice that only one of snow or rain can be active at one time, and that the change is smoothed, so you have to wait some time to see the full effect of the precipitation.

Only the [[ALS]] pipeline can procedurally draw these deposits (September 2020). Deposits of [[snow]] and rain on the ground depend on the history of precipitation. Snow can linger for weeks. As it's impossible to know the amount deposited based on the amount falling at one time, these deposits are set from the ''Environment > Environment settings'' dialog. The snow line, snow thickness, and ground wetness (puddles) can be set manually. The "''Set maximum snow level from METAR''" option automatically creates a nominal snow-line based on METAR and latitude. | |||
