Thx a bunch!

- "Constant" turbulence. Since this also may be affected by fsuipc conflicts, I'd suggest you cross check what you "feel" as turbulence, with our ambient monitor (tools->Debug window). If you get constant turbulence and it says there "Turb:None", then it's either camera movement, or a conflict preventing ASN from accurately controlling turbulence. Please report back.

 

Problem solved. I had left Opus Turbulence motion option checked in the Live Camera settings. Unchecking it has eliminated the "constant turbulence". I have checked also the debug window as you suggested and now I can confirm that the aircraft is being bumped by turbulence when turbulence is reported and the instruments reflect aircraft turbulence bumps.

Now having Opus for Camera views and DHM, but leaving turbulence motion unchecked, seems to be working fine...

@Jackson,

Sorry I don't see what you get, I only fly the PMDG 777 ATM, I don't get turbarlance all the time, the last flight I did I got almost none, but when I do, I can see clearly how it's affecting the aircraft, speed, height and course are all taking a hit and the AP is working hard to work it all out.

The aircraft is being banged around perfectly with what I see on the instrument.

 

You were right...!

See above...

I am not using FSUIPC,

 

during the beta for ASN we all tried to give the devs the best input regarding the tuning of turbulence and visibility in ASN.

 

I believe that both this items got to a level of quality that is UNIQUE among the weather programs I have used for FSX. I also believe that the combination of ASN with P3Dv2 will bring even better results, specially in as far as haze and dense/overcsat layers are concerned, and visibility too.

 

Users can experiment with the "enhanced turbulence" option in ASN settings. I have mine set, but you may prefer the native MSFS turbulence effects. Turbulence of either type will still be triggered when the conditions justify it. So far I am very satisfied, for the first time as a long time MSFS user, with what I see and feel with ASN.

 

I also have A2A's accu feel installed, and haven't detected any incompatibilities between both programs, quite on the contrary. They sim to cooperate to turn the overall experience even more plausible, for a PC-based flight simulator.

 

Soaring has been the way I have spent more time latelly flying in FSX with ASN. On some areas of the Canada and Northern USA I have found conditions allowing for extremelly challenging long distance ridge high speed flights, like I would love to be able in RL :-)

Glad you sorted it Jackson

Hi again Vic...

 

Come to think of it. Since I'm running ASN on my networked PC, the AF tweak will have no meaning on my FSX PC, will it??? Or am I missing something. I have nothing running on my FSX PC other than FSX / Fs2Crew / TrackIR, so there should be no reason to restrict FSX to 3 out of 4 cores???

 

Thx

Correct Mas - if your flight system is clean you don't need it. Some people like to keep FS OFF the first core only because the OS uses it and could induce stutters BUT again, on a relatively clean system, this shouldn't be a problem.

Ok, thx! On my initial flights with ASN, I had better performance than with AS2012. Could be placebo, but I was seeing solid OC conditions, and steady smooth flight, something which was not allways the case before. I suspect that ASN's ability to change the draw distance relative to performance, could play a role here (obviously), but none the less, I feel no reason to change too much. Glad I had the AF thing figured out, though;) After 15 years of simming it sure feels good to get something right - lol!

 

Thx again,

Still on trial, not had time to test fully - after what I seen today, from a few circuits is pretty impressive....fog like I never seen...... very low visibility, had to tune the ILS just to take off from OPST, what I want from a WX engine - I will definitely be buying when trial expires. Pay attention to the ATIS on the top of the screen....80M visibility ???? CAT II/III.......... autolands for sure....

The release has gone exceptionally well. There have been a few glitches, the majority of which are related to security, other programs, av. A few are ours which the just released hotfix should address.

 

I am amazed as I have been hearing from several friends who like me are experienced RW pilots and they are really impressed. One said he now has a whole new sim. Another commented - Finally, when you fly the weather matters.

 

The default settings should be fine for most systems but can be adjusted if necessary. Just remember, ASN draws fuller cloud layers so if you used 5 with AS2012 and set ASN the same, you might get a performance hit.

 

Main thing - enjoy - and watch out for the turbulence - if it's there - you'll know it!!

 

Vic

First time ever I planned a flight around the turbulence. Flew SAN-JFK earlier today. Took a southern routing over Texas, Georgia and then cutting up to the northeast. What is nice is if you use PFPX, you can load your plan into Skyvector and using their layers menu see where all the turbulence areas are before you even load up ASN. I have found that ASN and Skyvector wx areas of concern are the same.

My approach speed was VREF+5kts as usual but during the approach the engines didn't seem to want to settle down an speed kept climbing up to 180kts, til I disengaged AP/AT.

Same story here....I was flying the NGX into an approach to EGLL yesterday in IMC conditions with moderate turbulence (as reported by ASN debug window) in clouds, and there were huge speed fluctuations. Although not a RW commercial world pilot (I have a PPL) I have spent hundreds of hours in commercial aircraft cockpit during my previous job, and I have never seen something like this.

On final, @flaps40, my IAS was jumping like crazy back and forth from 147 kts to 190 kts....welcome to turbulence effects but they seem to me a little bit too much...!

I will try and play with settings a little bit and report back...

Airspeed changes that significant isn't turbulence - it's windshear.  +/- 40-50 Knots is massive (in the real world) and in no way would anyone ever land in that.

If that's the case, I would think ASN's windshear warning aural would sound (If it's working right). It didn't.

....welcome to turbulence effects but they seem to me a little bit too much...!

During beta testing we went round and round on this - those who were not RW pilots were worried that the turbulence was too much - those of us who have a bit of RW stick time thought it was tame.

 

Up till now, turbulence, wind shear and wake turbulence in FSX have been only lightly modeled and mostly accomplished by head shakers. ASN is as close as you are going to get to real life in a sim. If you try to fly through a thunderstorm in FSX *now* - you are asking for some big trouble.

 

As far as a bit much - how about a rapid aileron roll in a Piper Cherokee hitting severe wake turbulence? Happened IRL so why not in FSX?

 

Vic

For ASN windshear aural warning sound to work you need to install the Weather Gauge that comes with ASN and also make sure you have the gauge powered ON and that you enabled WSH (third button from the top on the right hand side of the gauge)
