Shimmering clouds after visibility set in ASV 6.5 b536

Featured Replies

Hi All,My old Radeon 9800 pro 128mb card finally died, so I purchased the NVidia Geforce 7800GS 256MB card (latest drivers).I like the card overall (I pretty much maxed everything with no reall problems), but I am having a problem with my clouds shimmering (not sure if it is video card or asv,or fs2004 related). The weather is first cleared, then set by ASV 6.5 , at this point the clouds look very beautiful and not shimmering what so ever, then the visibility must be set to 15sm by ASV 6.5 , so I then watch the visibility set in from the ground up into the clouds, the visibility blocks out my once solid looking clouds with no shimmering what so ever to the unbelievable shimmering clouds, they only seem to shimmer at the point where the visibility stopped covering up the clouds (give or take a little either way). When I am finally off the ground and in the air, the clouds are solid again, with slight shimmering in the far distance. I use the hatswitch of my yoke and move around observing the shimmering clouds, When I see shimmering clouds I will move the hatswitch a little and the shimmering will either increase or decrease in one area and start up in another area.So I tried closing out ASV 6.5 , and set the weather using FS9's real weather, the clouds are solid on the ground.I have tried all kinds of settings in ASV, FS2004, Video card drivers (including re-installing) rebuilding fs9.cfg , fsuipc, but i cant find a solution at the moment. (also using FSUIPC 3.70 , ASV is on FS machine)Thanks a bunchVincent Sigda-------------------------Current Settings-----------------P4 3.0 GHZ1.5 GIG OF RAMAGP Aperature=256mb--------------Video card

Hi,Doesn't sound like an AS problem, but we are willing to try. Go to your NV controls and look for a Table Fog setting. Place it the opposite it is now. Then start FS and see what happens.Does this happen with FS weather as well?Please let us know,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://www.fseconomy.com/

Hi Jim,With the 93.71 NVidia drivers, I dont seem to have a Table Fog Setting in the nvidia control panel.FS2004 clouds right now are solid in all aspects.Thanks for any help,Vincent

Hi,What is your filtering set to in FSX?Might also try with Vertical Sync turned Off.Thanks,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://www.fseconomy.com/

Hi Jim,I am only using FS2004 right now.Vertical sync also doesnt seem to help with the dancing clouds. I have tried most settings on and off with now help to the dancing clouds.The question I can't answer right now is, why do I not have a problem with FS2004's clouds and visibility, only when ASV is used to set the weather that the problem shows up.I started up ASV before FS2004 and got the weather using a plan, textures were submitted, then started up FS2004, the weather was then set by ASV, the clouds were doing some dancing around. The dancing couds want to be drawn as one complete cloud but for some reason I will either get the left side or the right side of the cloud wanting to dance and go on and off as if it wants to be drawn but something is holding it back............so I took the weather report for my location and put it in the WX Generator of ASV and increased the visibility to 60nm (current was 15sm), the problem went away. decreased the visibility back to 15sm and the problem came back. Then set the weather using FS2004 real weather and everthing is also good.A overcast sky is better (or you dont notice it at all), broken to thiner or less clouds, I notice more dancing of clouds.off to work I go, talk to you later,Vincent

Hi,Reduce cloud draw distance to 30 and see what happens.Thanks,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://www.fseconomy.com/

Hi Jim,Yes, I think we are in the right area of this problem.With FS2004 loaded and ASV's weather set, I will then turn the hat switch of my yoke and try and find clouds that are moving around. When I find some that are going crazy with the cloud draw distance set at 60, I will then move the slider to 30nm, go back in the sim and the clouds will stop bouncing around. I will not move the hat switch for a minute or so to see if the problem comes back...sometimes it stays solid and sometimes it will start bouncing around again in the same and/or different areas (while not moving the hat switch at all). So then I will start panning around with the slider set to 30nm until I find some clouds that are moving around, I will then set the slider to 60nm, go back into the sim and the problem is once again resolved, again sometimes the clouds will remain solid or they will start to bounce again. Sometimes I will have the slider on 60nm when I find the bouncing clouds, then I move the slider to 30nm, I find out I still have bouncing clouds so I put the slider back to 60nm and the clouds are good again.....which at this point the clouds will remain good or start dancing again, ..........so I spin the hat switch and repeat the process all over again.By adjusting the slider back and forth does have effect on controlling the clouds, although does not fix the problem at this point in time.the joys of digging into these stubborn problems,ThanksVincent

Hi,A few more suggestions:Adjust your agp size to 64 or 128, there is no need for 256.Leave the cloud draw distance at 30.What is happening is all that view switching is taxing your system. Also, clouds do sometimes flicker when first drawn. That is the reason for staying with 30.Thanks,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://www.fseconomy.com/

Hi Jim,I have tried AGP at 128 with the same results (I will lower this setting down to 128).I am going to have to go back to my first post here on this problem:This problem happens when the visibility is set using ASV. I can use a weather report like...CYXE 230500Z 05007KT 15SM FEW140 M19/M23 A3018 RMK AC0 SLP268with this report I will have dancing clouds at the top of the visibility line, the point where ASV stopped bringing in the visibility. At this point I can try reducing cloud draw to 30nm, then back up to 60nm, or try whatever setting with negative results.------------I now take the same weather report as before and increase the visibility using the WX Generator...CYXE 230500Z 05007KT 30SM FEW140 M19/M23 A3018 RMK AC0 SLP268I can watch the visibility increase and lower itself down to the ground a little more. So now where there were dancing clouds (the point where ASV stopped bringing in the visibility) there are no longer dancing clouds at that point, but I now have dancing clouds lower because I dropped the visibility closer to the ground by increasing the visibility. More cloud is able to be revealed and not restricted by visibility....hence,reducing the problem.------------I now take the same weather report as before and increase the visibility using the WX Generator...CYXE 230500Z 05007KT 60SM FEW140 M19/M23 A3018 RMK AC0 SLP268With this setting of 60nm visibility I have no restrictions of visibility, there are no dancing clouds what so ever, clouds are rock solid. It doesnt matter what setting I adjust at this point, the clouds remain solid, I should be getting crappy performance because my system is really worked hard at this point as compared to reducing the visibility to say 5nm. I can fly through low visibility conditions and have great performance, but increase the visibility and watch the performance go down. I dont believe my system is worked to hard which is causing this problem, because with no visibility, I have rock solid clouds like I want. Using a visibility of 60nm, I can pan around, do whatever I like at this point, the clouds remain solid using ASV. Bring in the visibility and the perfect picture is now ruined. When I decrease the visibiliy to 15nm, I should have better performance. This is also only a problem that I see when I am on the ground, once in the air, the only dancing I will see will be the shimmering of clouds when they are first drawn, but the rest of the clouds are solid in the air. I will say this last statement loosly, because I havent been in the air for a while to really check things out.Once again, if I use FS2004's Real weather, the clouds remain solid with its reduced visibility of 15nm.---------------For me at this point, this is a visibility problem when using ASV to set the visibility, FS2004's real weather doesn't seem to have this visibility issue while on the ground. I will continue to stand by ASV as a product (I only wish to make it better).Thanks a bunch,Vincent

Hi Jim,I just seen FS2004's weather have some dancing clouds on the ground. Its like the clouds wants to be free of the visibility to show itself as a whole cloud. I know the clouds are stable without visibility setting in (using ASV). This must be a FS2004 issue with visibility or my system has some issues, Maybe time to use FSX?Im at a loss here on what to do, best get some sleep now,Vincent
