Hi,I'm new to Active Sky, Just bought and D/L the current version. I have probably less than an hour of flight time with it and I'm awed by the environment. I'm planning to start virtual Soaring and I'm wondering if AS6 creates Thermals Under Cumulus ? If not, is this in the works? Are there any other visual cues?Also, Please share the optimal settings in Active Sky for Cross Country Soaring, e.g. VAS settings, etc. I was thinking that since FSX will be modelling dynamic birds, maybe AS6 or AS7 can add in circling turkey vultures and redtails as additional visual cues? ;-) Regards,Bill

Hello and Welcome,Yes there are, but no visual clues.I would try 100% frequency and strength.Remember you can create thermal points for soaring also!Hope this helps,Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/Active Sky V6 Development Team Active Sky V6 Proud SupporterHiFi Beta TeamRadar Contact Supporter: http://www.jdtllc.com/AirSource Member: http://www.air-source.us/FSEconomy Member:http://dot.kelder.net:8080/fseconomy/
