FSLConfigurator
    - Several logic fixes
    - Affinity mask logic rules improvements

 

Does this mean we will not have to re-launch P3D every-time and that the configurator will automatically assess the affinity mask based on our preference once and for all ?

That "feature" really bugs me actually.

Interested about the mention of lights illuminating clouds using AS16, has anybody tried this out? Would really add to the immersion of night flying.

All it does is blast white light into the cockpit. It looks terrible and burns your retinas. I feel like I’ve been intercepted by a UFO and I’m getting abducted.

Its not that bad - a bit bright, but at least it gives a more immersive sense of motion. I love the feature.

Great update, fixed a bug I had with go arounds and added the intercept symbol on the ND that was missing until now.

Also much better performance  on ground and takeoff.

I can't be happier at the moment.

Yes, this works for other aircraft also, not just FSLabs ... I recall making a few videos of this in action but I don't think anyone picked up on it.  Unfortunately due to video compression during recording at night with clouds (they tend to change to a pinkish color with obvious color gradients/banding) it's difficult to get the same quality as "the actual experience" so showing off the effect isn't very representative.

This update is an other big improvement for the FSL A320 as performance continues to improve allowing me to increase graphics settings to hit my 30 FPS/30Hz lock for less long frames (stutters).

Cheers, Rob.

Still, with landing lights and runway lights, all ON, except wing lights fps go down to 24.. from locked 30fps,  where other addons remain at 30fps (CRJ, NGX).

Hi Rob,

I believe the feature in question is unique to the FSL A320-X; we replace the ASP4 effects with our own at night and simulate the landing lights illuminating the clouds. It gives a real sense of speed when flying through clouds at night. You need to have 'Cloud Motion Effects' in ASP4 activated for this feature to work.
