FSX Weather engine

Guess many of haven't figured out yet that OPUA = OPUS seeing that the "A" and the "S" keys are right next to each other on a keyboard.

you think?

What does that mean? How is it 'significantly' different from Opus?

Can OPUS do this? If so I have yet to see it demonstrated.

Also ASN adds micro bursts down and up drafts plus enhances turbulence (Admittedly maybe a little too much in some cases. I believe HiFi is working on a patch to refine it.) Fly into a severe T storm now, and there is a good chance you may not make it out.

As Kevin and Tom said above.

 

ASN is the first time I have taken off, and completed a long flight, and not had to worry about wind shifts, clouds popping in and out, weather disappearing etc, etc.

 

Essentially you don't notice the fake nature of the weather generated, the experience is real. Fly into a thunderstorm and you can expect to face the same challenges you would in real life. Hail and all manner of atmospheric disturbances. Suddenly weather radar is more important in FSX.

 

And you don't have to worry about set up. Just fly. Although settings can be adjusted if required.

A problem that couldn't be solved by either OPUS or AS2012 or REX3? What kind of a problem is that???

REX 3 most of the time refreshed the weather slowly that clouds just changed in front of me and AS2012 had the similar problem. I didn't like the way OPUS worked because it was complex so I didn't use again. ASN looks good in reviews and i will give it a try. Looks like there is no hype for REX4 WD.

You need to add OpusFSX to the poll.

I added later but I did a typing mistake and can't fix it now.

Yes, and lots more besides:-

It's resolved in ASN. And I'd assume there will be some fancy OPUS beta sooner or later which will achieve just the same ...

Asn  with rex4  textures you cant go wrong

Yes, and lots more besides:-

 

Can you point out where the aircraft fades in and out of the clouds in this video, because I'm sorry I missed it. Other then that it's a good video.

ASN + REX4 Texture Direct.

Why no one is interested about REX4 Weather Direct? They say they are building from scratch completely different engine.

[TrafficPilot 121]

ASN is utterly superb!

 

How a weather engine should be.

 

Weather has taken on a whole new significance in FSX. Now it matters.

 

+1 using the freeware HDE2 textures it is the most realistic weather engine available for FSX. Best money I've spent on this hobby in years apart from Steve's DX10fixer. Together FSX is a totally new smooth simulation of flight for me.

One of the best kept secrets in FSX, its simple, works great, and its free...

Because that wasn't the question that was asked. We were asked which is the best. We can't say where REX4 WD fits into the picture till it's released.

That's what ASN just did.  And ASN is available right now.
