Active Sky XP - Wind Depiction

Featured Replies

Hi all,

Just wanted to canvas thoughts on Active Sky and the wind depiction. I have it installed correctly, but I just feel like the wind is not accurate. Most of my flights are very smooth. The sim shows wind (in Zibo Mod you can see it on the PFD), but in terms of light buffeting you would expect from the real world, i don't experience this.

I would have thought, particularly at this time of year that things would be slightly bumpy, but I just find everything to be very smooth and constant.

The only thing that is noticeable is the effect of a crosswind. 

Just wondered what other users experienced, or whether there might be a better software option.

Thanks
Tom

Did you turn on realism mode?

I had so much turbulence near SFO the other day the auto pilot in my ToLiss had trouble keeping altitude. In the end I descended a few thousand feet and it was much better.

 

Some things don't feel right. I was hoping Hifi Simulations would have adjusted some parameters, but ...

I agree, kind of feels like they ticked the box of an active sky release, yet it lacks in so many areas.
