First of all, ASE team congrats for the product, it really gets FSX weather in another dimension! It's not perfect but, what is?.. I wouldn't fly without it. After using ASE for enough months I noticed that the cloud depiction was not natural any more. For example, in overcast conditions the cloud layers were composed from too many small, way too sharp, horizontally compressed and vertically (!) stretched clouds, instead of the smooth, large horizontally extended cloud textures that normally produce a naturally looking overcast layer. Of course the same small, vertically stretched clouds were visible in every weather situation, not only in OC weather. Unfortunately I didn't grab any screenshot. When I used other weather engines (REX, Open Clouds and FSX default) the cloud depiction was perfectly normal. I searched the support forums and found at least one case with the same problem in which a complete ASE reinstall was recommended. Which I did and the problem was solved.But after a while it reappeared. Exactly the same thing. This time I closed ASE, went to the "c:\users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\HiFi\ASE" folder and deleted the following files:current_synthesized_wx.txtcurrent_wx_snapshot.txtLastDownloaded.WxRestarted ASE and guess: problem solved!! I mentioned this issue to help others that may have the same problem and to point it to HiFi support team so they can check it out.

Hi, Thanks for all that! I wish you had captured a screen shot of this so that we could trouble shoot. So if this happens again, please do that for us. Also, please make sure that you are now using B 647 of ASE.

I will certainly capture a screen if this ever happens again.But I am absolutely sure that the last time it happened it was with B647 because I am using it since it became available on the server Thanks,Nikos
