Hi Guys,

 

Don't know what changes have been made to Active Sky Next, but I like what I'm seeing. Aside from the weather, the added benefit of having a weather gauge that works from within the V/C is very nice.

 

I like how the program depicts the three thunderheads that are forming but has ignored all the other clouds.

 

Hi Mike, how about performance with that setup?I was going to buy the IFly 737 myself for P3D2.2

 

Tnx

Hi,

 

I have been able to maintain 26 - 30FPS (more importantly - smooth performance) while using the iFly 737NG with weather radar or terrain active. I run FTG Global, REX 4 Texture Direct, iFly 737NG and ASN at a resolution of 5760x1200x32.

 

I think its great, I may even get another GTX690... Once SLI is utilized to the fullest.

Cool! Performance is acceptable; any crashes, assorted problems? I was going to buy the MD80 but I found out there's no download option, so I need a short range tubeliner. I have the Aerosoft Airbus which is really a neat piece of work, if only a bit too automatic for my taste ....

 

Tnx again

Hi,

 

I have no problems with the aircraft. However, they do mention a few quirks on their web site as shown below.

 

 

Important Notes for P3D 2.0 Users: We are aware of some light issues with P3D v2, at this stage we are monitoring to see if it is a P3D v2 display issue due to new DX 11 graphics engine or a change in the core engine that they can fix or if it will require and update from us.

 

• The white/green/red wing nav lights don’t always activate correctly.
• If the sim is started in night time then they work fine.

• P3Dv2 introduced a bug that prevents NAV lights to work correctly in some situations. Here is a workaround: First fully load-up/start with a default P3Dv2 aircraft at the gate/stand or runway, then switch and load your iFly aircraft.Then all NAV lights work any time of day.

Tnx for your answer, it doesn't seem too bad, maybe I'll give it a go :-)

Those knobs on the right seem LONNNGGGG
