December 25, 200817 yr Only had a few moments to check out ASA, and I think it's wonderful.I'm curious about my settings in FSUIPC (FS9) now. With ASv6.5 I had a few things checked in FSUIPC's wind and cloud pages. Smoothing was on, some turbulence and adding occasional cirrus was checked. I was under the impression this was okay with ASv6.5 and all seemed okay with those settings.Now, with ASA, am I correct in understanding that all cloud and wind (most/all Wx) settings in FSUIPC should be unchecked so as not to conflict with ASA?? I figure the wind smoothing in FS9 is now fine just with ASA, so I shouldn't need the FSUIPC checked also. Plus, ASA adds cirrus, CAVOK clouds, and handles turbulence like FSUIPC had options for. Also, has the wake turbulence been changed/fixed, upgraded to work better than ASv6.5? I had to disable the wake option in ASv6.5 because it often caused major crashes on final when traffic shouldn't have been a factor. It was a well-known problem I guess you could say, maybe just with complex aircraft, but it was a problem.Another question is about the wind disturbances. Should these be scaled based on aircraft being flown (e.g. GA plane - less turbulence, less FPM thermal setting ; large Boeing-type - higher settings)?? Thanks!

December 26, 200817 yr Hi Chris,Thanks for the words.Yes, uncheck those options in FSUIPC.Wake turbulence has been worked on, but you still need to be careful!The effects will be felt less with a larger plane. Not sure if I would make an adjustment in ASA each time I changed planes.Thanks,
December 26, 200817 yr Author Sounds good Jim, thanks! - Chris Gigabyte Z790 Aorus Elite AX | Intel Core i9 13900KF | Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4090 24 GB | 64GB DDR5 SDRAM | Corsair H100i Elite 240mm Liquid Cooling | 1TB & 2TB Samsung Gen 4 SSD | 1000 Watt Gold PSU | Windows 11 Pro | Thrustmaster Boeing Yoke | Thrustmaster TCA Captain X Airbus | Asus ROG 38" 4k IPS Monitor (PG38UQ) Asus Maximus VII Hero motherboard | Intel i7 4790k CPU | MSI GTX 970 4 GB video card | Corsair DDR3 2133 32GB SDRAM | Corsair H50 water cooler | Samsung 850 EVO 250GB SSD (2) | EVGA 1000 watt PSU - Retired
