It was not about the money for ASN, just the thought of messing with something that runs perfectly.  I guess I'll try the trial version, if it gives me problems, I'll delete it.  Thanks for the advice.

Ditto here too.

Hi Paul,

 

while I admit that I'm slightly biased as a beta tester for HiFI, there is an easy way to find out if it's worth it to you. Just go to Hifi's website and install the free 7-day ASN trial - and see for yourself. Chances are, you'll never fly in clear skies again ;-)

 

Cheers,

Pete

Thanks for that heads-up, Pete. Will give it a shot.

Damn - I hate you guys.  I added ASN trial and the Weather Radar is really cool.  I have a feeling I'll be getting the AMEX out in 6 days to buy.

ASN is PMDG-quality software, in my opinion. It's legit.

 

I've got AS2012 but I'm too cheap to buy the upgrade to ASN at the moment. I highly recommend.

ASN has to be activated within the ASN settings for it to work.

I have had Active Sky for several years and many updates. They never disappoint.

If you have a look at the video I posted on the previous page (yeah it's long) you will notice that during the approach (being vectored) the VATSIM ATC can no longer accommodate my divert left/right of track at some point, at which stage it's 'into the red cells'.

 

There's enough turbulence there that the autothrottle cannot keep up. Vref minus 10 is a scary place to be.

 

If you ever run through a hail storm (I did one night, not recording) you will find it becomes VERY LOUD. Scary stuff.

 

Turbulence, amazingly bad visibility, actual rain where the radar says there is rain. No rain where the radar says there is no rain (even in/under clouds).

 

Eye candy, if loud hail impacting the windscreen has anything to do with eyes, if massive speed variations in gusty turbulent winds is anything to do with eyes, if rain appearing exactly where the radar says it is has something to do with eyes.

On a flight from Norman Manley to JFK in the T7 using the trial version ASN. Must say am impressed. Thought I'd take a frames hit and experience other issues I'd read about here, but touch wood, so far so good.

Never ever had a single issue since re-building new rig, and now all of a sudden whilst running ASN, I get a Runtime Error and FSX shuts down. Did not even have the time to see what it was linked to, but a coincidence since installing and running ASN?

Hi Julian. Thanks for that endorsement but I'm a bit perturbed after that sudden Runtime Error crash brought down my flight when it has been running rock solid at all other times other than after running ASN.

 

I'm going to re-load the flight and see if this happens again.

Deleted.

If it gets to scary, just press escape.

 

TOGA worked better.

 

oh look at you pressing delete
