ASN16 no clouds?

Featured Replies

Got ASN16 and ASCA and I am not getting any large fluffy clouds, just high scattered wispy clouds. I also do not get clouds when in rain, sometimes a full fog overcast look but no clouds. 

 

I am not sure what I am doing wrong here. I have cloud layers set at 5 and full density set in P3D and have the HD clouds installed. 

 

Here are a couple of screen shots to show rain without clouds or overcast, just blue sky. Both ASN16 and ASCA are action and ASCA is set to full dynamics.

Hard to see rain in these small compressed shots so click on photos for larger detailed image.

Do you have all the hotfixes installed for both AS16 and ASCA? Check the build number on both apps. It should be 6066.

I had this problem and deleting the shaders fixed it. If in doubt file a ticket at HiFi. They have excellent support.

Have deleted shaders, both are version 6066, tried shutting down both and even rebooting but still no real clouds.

 

Would this have something to do with the setting "disable default haze layer" in the ASN16 options?

 

Here is a pic I just took of flying near Cedar Rapids. I am in CR now and looking out side I see tons of fluffy clouds and forecast is partly cloudy. Just upper level wispy clouds and fog, smog or something near ground.

Start AS16 & ASCA - select and install a theme - exit both. Start as16/ASCA - select Dynamics theme - start P3D - in AS16 select search - look for rain, clouds, wind, etc - go to one of the airports found.

 

If you still don't see clouds, etc - open a tcket with HiFi and be sure to include the logs ( You can export them from AS16 menu).

And btw it is AS16, not ASN16. ;) ASN16 doesn't exist. The previous version was ASN. (If you DO have something called ASN16 then that might explain the lack of clouds LOL ;) )

It is the dynamic weather option that is not working. If I just select a theme,, say big fluffy cloud theme, it works and I have the correct clouds and coverage that I see out side today. But if I then select dynamic it goes back to foggy and high thin clouds.

 

With just cloud theme "Discovery" loaded I get clouds.

First, you have to look at the metar that AS16 is using - does it call for clouds, etc? Try refreshing the weather manually ( in AS16 select debug and click Refresh Weather) - see if that changes anything. Other than that, contacting HiFi Support would be the best option. Also check that you have all the ASCA content settings ENABLED when in Dynamic mode.
