Underextrution on solid layer (not top layer)

Hi! I have problem getting nice solid layers. If i set 2 top layers the top one comes out OK but not the solid layers before. I have added a picture that shows this problem. Image

This shows regular infill to the far right, first solid layer in the middle and final top layer to the left.
Is it so that simplify 3d calculates first solid layer on infill as a bridge? How do i tune this without over extruding the top layer?

Thanks!

Re: Underextrution on solid layer (not top layer)

It's pretty normal for the very first solid layer to look a little under-extruded since it is being printed on top of very sparse infill. That's the main reason why people print 2-3 top solid layers - so that it is completely solidified by the time it reaches the very outer one.
