Heads Up to AS2012 Users

I agree lads. Rex's textures are gorgeous but there's something about AS2012 textures that keep me coming back for more.

OMG, I will be glad when Weather Wars is over!

 

Which weather war?

AS is the only one with historical weather and this is the most important feature for me.

I usually fly in daylight or dusk/dawn, but I have just time to fly in the evening/night. Only AS could serve me the right weather from todays noon. Everything else is just the wrong weather.

 

:lol:

That doesn't help me much when I look at my notes and read "24Sep11 has good ridge lift for soaring at XXX site all day and YYY site in the afternoon". :)

 

I've about come to the conclusion that perfectly accurate weather doesn't matter that much unless you're flying with others online. As long as the weather is *reasonable* some inaccuracies don't matter that much. In the end, it comes down to personal preference and preferred features.

 

Early this morning I did a flight in Alaska in the DC3. Started under overcast, and just before landing flew out of it into broken clouds. Beautiful. When I checked the AS2012 weather map after the flight, I was supposed to be under overcast there as well. But after several historical weather loads, the weather didn't change until I was very close to the airport, so the clouds stayed the same (instead of popping) because I had Prevent Cloud Redraws checked with DWC. Should I have gotten a sudden overcast pop up? I'd prefer it the way I saw it.
