Active Sky Evolution SP2 has been officially released! ASE-SP2 is a complete and comprehensive weather simulation engine for Microsoft Flight Simulator X and FS9. This new version provides dozens of improvements, fixes and enhancements over previous versions.Three different FSX weather depiction modes are now available, including Standard, Smooth Cloud Transitions and Direct Weather Control. The availability of three modes allows users to get the best experience possible given their needs and type of simming. New local range suppression and ceiling-based write suppression is now available for both FS9 and FSX Standard Depiction Modes. Improved high-performance depiction logic for FS9 minimizes visual cloud shifts and inconsistencies. A newly configurable visibility graduation ceiling allows more realistic and refined visibility smoothing (FS9 and FSX DWC Mode) in a variety of environments. Integration with FSUIPC v4 (FSX) now permits 3rd-party add-ons such as Radar Contact to receive proper localized weather information when using DWC mode. These and many more enhancements have been made to provide the most refined and realistic weather experience possible.Active Sky Evolution SP2 includes all the realism-based weather simulation features you’ve come to expect including Private weather server access, historical weather database, realistic wake turbulence simulation, comprehensive flight and weather planning, graphical mapping, internal FS9/FSX weather gauge, universal graphics add-on integration and much, much more. SP2 is a free upgrade for all ASE customers.To download the update, please visit our Support and Downloads page. For more information or to purchase ASE SP2, please see the ASE Page!

Hi Jim,Thanks for the update, I'll be adding this ASAP.Happy Holidays

Thanks Jim!

Sounds great Jim. Thanks!

Really looking forward the reports from FS2004 users.

Jim,I'm running 611 with no problems with DWC enabled and FSUIPC off. What settings do I want to use in SP2? Remember winds aloft being correct is the most important thing for me.Bill

Fantastic news Jim, I knew I'd be updating/downloading something new before x-mas.

Finally updated my 5 year old ASV6.5. Gonna miss the olde girl. Looking forward to ASE tho! :( Cheers, SLuggy

Hi JimThe copy I've downloaded is Build 642, I assume I don't have to download any service packs, do I?Cheers, SLuggy

Guess I'll break what I just posted already!! No, you are up to date!

Sorry Jim! :( Cheers, SLuggy

Ok thank you Jim for your kind assist in getting me back to my ASA after my HD crash. I did have her upgraded free when ASE came into the spot. Would I now need to buy ASE full as it looks like I cant find the upgrade ASE for ASA user.

Hi,No, just PM me like you did earlier.

Jim, Just a quick question (i can't get it clear from reading your website) I ordered ASX bundle in may 2009 and am a happy user of this beautifull package but can i upgrade this package to ASE by just downloading the update available on the download package? Thanks in advance for your answer Fred Koch
