Asa: Big Iron & Thermals Options

Featured Replies

Hi Jim, Damien, et al,Using ASA and XG last night, I noticed in the main ASA status window that ASA seemed to be spending an inordinary amount of time generating and depicting thermal operations. Since I was cruising @ FL370 in the F1 Super 80 Pro, my question becomes, do these thermals have any noticeable affects on big-iron operations in the CL, CRZ, or Dec phase of flight? When I think of thermals, I usually associate them with gliders, ultra-lights and so forth.Should we set the thermals sliders in the Options page to the far left to reduce the processing or simconnect burdon if we tend to focus on larger aircraft and the higher FL's?Thanks and regards,

Hi Jim,I did just as you suggested last night and honestly couldn't see a difference. Although, now I don't see all the "thermals" statements in the status window of the Main page. So, perhaps it's at least saving me a little simconnect bandwidth.Regards,
