      Hello, the cloud base option is not working for the moment.

      Also, is it possible to have a function like top of usable lift, like in XCskies?

      Thank you in advance.NO_Cloudbase_windy.jpg

        Since there are no Clouds forecast over your region, there is no Cloud base.

        To some extend, doesn’t the Thermals layer give information on the top of usable lift?

          Thank you so much @idefix37 !!! My bad, this is exactly what I was looking for, I got confused trying to check in other apps. and was confusing top of usable lift with clouds. Nothing to do one to the other!

          Is there a parameter for the maximum height of thermals (eg. lift or vertical speed) and if so, can this be setup by users?

          Definitely, this is one of the best! good flights!

            Thanks ! Don't worry, we try to help Windy users in this community forum.
            But I'm not a flight expert. I guess you will have your questions answered. I think that some of them are already discussed in the thread presented by the link in my message.
