I'm really not "disappointed".....just curious as to the visual differences reported.I too am looking forward to watching this program mature.gwillmot

There is one thing that Damian has done with ActiveSky wxRE that really adds to the realism for me, and that is the upper air turbulence. I have random turbulence turned off in FSUIPC, and yet, when I hit a boundary layer with a wind speed change, while cruising at upper flight levels, the chop sets in and I have to ask for a different flight level.Once at a new flight level, the turbulence is gone. This effect beats the hell out of random turbulence when it comes to realism and makes Radar Contact all the more useful, with it's abililty to assign new flight levels.ActiveSky wxRE is so deep in so many ways, it does take some time to really appreciate it.Bruce

so it's more realistic to turn off random turbulence?in the manual it says this setting is recommended:-hmmm
