Active Sky Next new version?

Featured Replies

I see that Active SkyNext has had an upgrade.  Isn't this a free upgrade?  If not, what do all of you Next users think about the upgrade.

It's free... SP1

Stan,

 

If you own AS Next please update with the free Service Pack 1. You will notice a large difference in your weather.

Yup I noticed the difference straight away,  didn't have much choice in not to update  since   when I ran asn the pop up warning appeared  would you like to upgrade to the new version.  So if you got  asn you would have gotten this as well

Not necessarily. I do have ASN but it didnt inform me. It did in the past :S

And i thought ASN couldn't get any better.... WOW.

Seems much better in regard to turbulence to me, especially in the majestic dash.

 

It was only a single flight I base that on, but that was my impression. Encountered a thunderstorm and it was very nice indeed.

I didn't saw any differences so far with SP1 trial last night. TBH the weather was nice, but turbulence was strong and C172 was behaving like a paper plane, impossible to control. MAybe Accufeel turbulence setting is a bit high (60)? I'm always confused will Accufeel ENHANCE the ASN turbulence, or ADD more turbulence, or CHANGE how airplane behaves in turbulent situations, I don't know. Anyway, Cessna was uncontrollable how heavy and choppy turbulence was. Any thoughts?

I would leave Accfeel turbulences off for now as the ASN turbus are great and feels real. Unfortunately helicopters behave a bit strange if i set the enhanced turbu feature. Tried with the Virtavia Seaking. Gotta test some more choppers

Yes, you definitely don't want two applications both competing to provide turbulence.

 

One or the other. ASN does it admirably.

I think the last service pack and this latest release are exactly the same pretty much

Dear lord, that's what was going on.  I was scratching my head as to why my C210 was all over the place this morning.  Really need to figure out what the right setting is.  Their default wake turbulence setting has been vastly overdone...I was a mile behind a single engine Beechcraft in my C210 and it sent me into the ground next to the runway.  Not even remotely close!  Maybe they've worked on it?

 

I have to say, the yawing motion you get with turbulence is just completely wrong.  You can get quick rolls about the axis and bumps in any direction...but a yaw?

Thanks.  I'll download today.  Sounds like a super upgrade.

Best of all .. I just noticed today on my epic Amy Johnson flight, that ASN have now included an ASN Weather Request in flight popup menu, from the menu bar. It includes current weather at your location or at the nearest weather station/airport and also winds aloft data for you current location, all without pausing the flight. Great stuff!
