First, another general background info ...
When you save a situ file while a real-world WX data download function is enabled, the download function will be promptly enabled when you reload that situ file.
So ...
when loading a situ that has the "Set zones by flight track and downloaded METARs" checkbox selected, the sim will as soon as possible start another METAR download. When it does, the METAR related weather won't be the same as the one when the situ was saved.
Similarly, when loading a situ that has the "Download SIGMETs when downloading METARs" checkbox selected, the sim will as soon as possible start another SIGMET download. When it does, the SIGMET related weather won't be the same as the one when the situ was saved.
Therefore ...
I need to ask you if I'm seeing the same WX data in your situ that you saw when you saved that situ. When I load your situ, I immediately deselect those two checkboxes to avoid further downloads during my WX analysis. But I'm not 100% sure if I deselected them quickly enough. So, my question is:
When I load your situ ...
• SBUA is the focussed local zone with a METAR from 121900Z -- Does this agree with your scenario?
• SIGMET header says DOWNLOADED 19:57:08 - 12 AUG 2022 UTC -- Does this agree with your scenario?
When I load your situ, my aircraft is not in a SIGMET area.
Also, when I load your situ, my aircraft is not in clouds. It is above clouds. And these clouds are not overcast but few.
Secondly ...
In the simplified PSX windshield view, clouds are always represented by an "overcast layer", even if they actually are just broken, scattered, or few.
Are you referring to the PSX windshield or to your external scenery view?
