good evening.

 

I downloaded and installed the activesky 2012 SP2 Beta B4696 and am having windshift issues with it on various payware a/c including the wilco 330.

 

Can someone whos not having any issues with it, can they copy their fsxoptions.cfg // fsuic settins and fsx settings

 

many thanks in advanced.

Here is mine, see how you go

 

Got some wonderful low vis now

Thanks for the config.

In FSUPIC no WX I guess?

 

Dirk.

Yes, and in your fsx.cfg make sure you change cloud density setting to 12.

I tend to always use cloud density setting at 12 in the cfg and Max Cloud Layers @20 in AS2012 Cloud Options.

 

Dirk.

many thanks for that. working great thanks again.

Hi

 

Where do I place this specification?

 

Thanks

Hi Bob, in your Hifi/Options folder...the text replaces the text of the file fsxoptions.cfg.

 

I have actually modified this file 3 or 4 times since I posted here, let me know if you wish me to send you what I use and you can play wi it until you get the settings you are happy with.

Hi There

 

Thanks for getting back to me, I would be grateful if you could send me your current config

 

All the best

Hi

 

I cannot find a Hifi/options folder

 

Bob

Hi Bob, look in appdata/yourcomputersname/hifi/as2012/options

 

I am away from home at the moment, returning Sunday, I can send you the last file I tweaked then. I am getting great cloud covers, no wind shifts, no temp problems, the low vis is tremendous, and I have finally settled for a texture set so I am truly happy.

Hi

 

Still cannot find options!

 

However, thanks for getting back to me especially as you are away from home. That being the case, have you seen a further AS2012 update - B4726.

 

This is what this update has added:-

 

Active Sky 2012

Software Revision Log

SP2 - B4726 – Software

(1) Indicates changes to Public Beta 1 (B4696) from previous

(2) Indicates changes to Public Beta 2 (B4722) from previous

(3) Indicates changes to Public Beta 2B (B4724) from previous

(4) Indicates changes to Public Beta 3 (B4726) from previous

Weather and User Interface

• New DWC mode handling with "Prevent Cloud Redraws" and "Local Station Writes with DWC" enabled to provide better cloud coverage and accuracy while eliminating cloud formation shifts. Prevent Cloud Redraws and Local Station Writes with DWC is now ENABLED by default and ENABLED in the IFR/High Alt option profile. (4)
  

• New feature/option: Overcast Ceiling Enhancement – When enabled, the lowest overcast layer will be enhanced by adding and modifying complimentary cloud layers – This increases apparent thickness and restriction to visibility with a potential performance penalty – Please see documentation for addition information regarding this feature (1)
  

• New feature/option: Reduce Visibility In Cloud Layers (Requires DWC and Visibility Graduation and Smoothing to be Enabled) – When enabled, visibility will be reduced within cloud layers, proportionally based on layer coverage (1)
  

• New feature/option: Default Options Profile Screen – This screen will show at startup (can be hidden) and allow you to choose from various default options profiles that provide the recommended depiction mode and settings for various types of flying – Note that choosing a Default Option File will overwrite your current settings – We recommend trying all profiles before settling in on your ideal option set! (1)
  

• New enhancements to all depiction modes for better accuracy of cloud and other conditions (1)
  

• New official Prepar3D support! See documentation (initial “Important Stuff” chapter) for more information (1)
  

• New Station OIIE added to server fetch and default distribution (existing users must manually add station to data stations or update data station list from server to enable) (1)
  

Regards
