Cloud layers at FL350 and up

Featured Replies

Hi,I have ASV6 for FS9 with FSUIPC 3.71. When flying (online or offline, that doesn't matter), AS keeps giving me what I think is cloud layers at cruise flight level.I don't like that - all of a sudden everything turns grey and visibility goes down to minimum. I already tried all kinds of settings with FSUIPC and AS - to no avail.I cannot say if this is realistic (I don't fly that much in RL; however, I have never noticed this) but I want to get rid of it. No clouds, haze, fog, low vis or whatever above FL280. How can I accomplish this?Thanks and Best WishesBoris

Hi,Sorry for the problem. Suggestions:Reset FSUIPC to default settings and weather settings Off.Please post or attach your ASv6.ini file. We'll take a look at your settings.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/

I'll check the FSUIPC settings with the next flight.Best WishesBorisasv6.ini//ASv6.5 configuration file Build 533[General]WindowPosX = 495WindowPosY = 495DefaultWeatherFolder = D:Active SkyModulesASv6SuppressionCeiling = 10000SurfaceWindLimit = 10FS9Path = Z:FS9PersonalAppDataFolder = Y:Dokumente und EinstellungenBorisAnwendungsdatenCloudLayerLimit = 5LocalSuppressionRange = 100MinimumVisibility = 0MaximumVisibility = 59LastPlanFolder = F:NavigationFlightplansAutoVasFrequency = 30AutoVasStrength = 30TurbulenceFrequency = DefaultStartupLocation = DefaultGraphicsFullTheme = DefaultGraphicsCirrusTheme = AutoSubmitGraphicsTheme = FalseIncreasedWake = FalseDisableWindsAloft = FalseForcePrimaryServer = FalseForceSecondaryServer = FalseGEProAutoSubmit = FalseUseFetchedStationforGEPro = TrueShowDecodedMBasDecimal = FalseSkyOverride = GEPROFavorCumulus = FalseForceRoutePressure = FalseForceLowestCeiling = FalseUnpauseOnReadyStatus = FalseDisableWriteThrottle = FalseDisableProcessThrottle = FalseForceTstormsWithCB = FalseAutoSetFSTime = TrueIgnoreFSLocationUntilReady = TrueAutoConvertPlanFiles = TrueAutoRefreshAI = FalseDisableVisGraduation = FalseEnableGEProWideFSMode = FalseExtendedThrottling = FalseForceRouteAloftTemp = FalseOfflinePlayback = FalseEnableVAS = TrueAutoGenVAS = TrueForceDestinationWeatherZone = FalsePreventIcing = TrueOnlineUpdates = TrueExtendedDestinationWindsForce = FalseDisableAllGroundUpdates = FalseGlobalWrites = TrueDepictFS9HazeLayer = FalseExtendTstormLayers = FalseDisableDirectWindControl = FalseVoicePlayback = FalseLocalSuppression = TrueStartupSound = FalseDisableGroundUpdates = FalseUseProxyServer = FalseFogLayerGeneration = TrueUpdateSuppression = TrueOvercastEnhancement = TrueIgnoreFSReadyStatus = TrueFSUIPCWindSmoothing = TrueLimitSurfaceWinds = FalseLimitCloudLayers = TrueAutoGlobalWriteToggle = TrueRainWithTS = TrueDisableUpperLayerGeneration = True

Hi,Sunday is just another day where users need help!Your settings look good for AS. Try the FSUIPC stuff. Also, a screen shot of AS and FS may help us, if possible.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 had a 1,5hr flight today with FSUIPC reset to defaults and no issues :) Maybe it had something to do with the FSUIPC visibility limitation?But I'll watch, and when it happens again, I'll take a shot. Although you won't be seeing more than a grey area *g*Thanks for nowBoris

Just as a side note. I would recommend upgrading your FSUIPC to 3.73 which is the latest. There is an issue with 3.71, Active Sky with VATSIM updates turned on. It will cause a CTD. 3.72 and 3.73 correct this issue.
