Active Sky Next with PMDG aircraft

Featured Replies

Can someone post the best settings for AS Next to be used with PMDG aircraft (NGX and T7 primary).

 

I'm mostly interested about wind settings, as there are options such as "enhanced turbulence" which, by manual, "can alter aircraft handling feeling in some cases", wake turbulence, and other...


EDIT: Damn, I whine every day about multiple treads and now I did it...

I have my wind turbulence set to around 80, try experimenting with 40 - 90. 100 seems a bit too much.

READ THE MANUALS.

When I first setup ASN I started with turbulence at 100 and enhanced checked. It didn't take many flights until I set it at 40 and did away with enhanced. From 40, I went to 60 and just yesterday I went to 80. Too much. I am going back to 60. BTW I understand from the developers reply in HiFi Forum that turbulence in cloud does not work or does not work the way they think it should.

Best settings for me were to leave everything at default and lower the cloud view distance to around a 100 (for performance). It's been working great right out the box without needing to change anything.

Can you describe difference in feeling between enhanced turb. and non enhanced turb?

 

Additionally, does anyone experienced S-turns with AS Next and PMDG aircraft?

Enhanced was like the sky was boiling. Enhanced unchecked was still a rough ride but nothing liked enhanced. I just finished KMEM-KLAX in the MD-11 and the whole flight was rough. I almost puked just looking at the screen.

 

No S-Turns under any settings for the NGX, 777, or MD-11, I don't know about the 744. It's in the desert waiting on V2.

I run it completely at defaults except for a lowered high altitude view distance (I think I have it set to 90 or 110 or something).

Hi all,

 

Is this the one I should buy to work together with the T7? Active Sky Next?

  • Author

The weather radar coming with T7 SP1 will work only with Active Sky Next (at last initially).

I'm with Ryan.  I can't remember what I set the vis levels at, exactly, but those are the only ones I really changed.

I have enhanced turbulence checked, turbulence set to 100, all wind shear and capability's set to max, surface winds set to 75, altitude winds set to 150, and altitude winds set to interpolate auto. It runs great and is the most realistic.

 

Thanks,

Ron

Yes, this is needed for the wx radar and stuff in SP1.

I just use the "live" default.  Have flown through some turbulence  KAUS PANC.

Works great. really like the radio connections for briefing ,etc.

 still get screen freezes now and then.

Cheers,

Don Emerson
