I finally have most of what was in my v4.5 installed (or features there of) in v5..and it truly is the best performing flight sim, right now on my system  For smoothness, it is even beating at at this time, XP11.50B5. That's saying a lot!  I have GSX installed, a working weather injector (FSXWX 1.6.1 latest version) that is doing a fine job with TrueSky enabled.  These pics have me heading for the active, under FSXWX 1.6.1 (active) and injecting into TrueSky enabled.  Looks great, and works like a charm.  You need to read what needs to be done, to get a working visible injection.  You have to add a couple of modified v5 resident files, after you back them up..and enter the .cfg file and change out some lines under WEATHER.  After that...the program works like a charm.

Anyway..hope you all have your v5 sorting out.  No Vram oom's..30 FPS maintaining, and again, all animation, even with TrueSky enabled...smooth as silk.  Very impressed, and of all the P3D's...,the visuals are clear, crisp, and quite stunning.  TrueSky, even in 'Beta' is a keeper!

The weather injection engine is working extremely well with v5! 🙂

Did you do anything other than the instructions on the FSXWX "Install Instructions for P3Dv4" and adjust the settings in app per the other thread here?  I was having NO problems yesterday, but today I took a flight and my A330 was out of control with the wind switching +/- 100 knots aloft with the true winds aloft and internal wind turbulence unchecked and the DWCs all at 0.

What is True Sky and how do you enable it?

If you read near the bottom of their how to...they talk about what they think is a wanky winds file, that affect tubes more than what would be considered normal. You might be running into this.  I installed every one of their custom files..as I suggest you do, and I have not had any abrupt winds shifts. Now...what's really cool, is that when I ascended to FL220 this morning, on my way to KOAK, I encountered really realistic shudder and chop...and Accu-Feel gave me all the proper visual and sound stimuli. It was great...  So..I guess, read again the page...take their advice and install their custom files, after you have backed up the v5 defaults...and try again.

TrueSky is the Atmospheric Engine, behind Atmos Beta.  When you choose that, you are enabling the enhanced atmospherics and volumetric clouds and fog.  If you want to inject weather with FSXWX 1.6.1, and you want to use Volumetric Fog...you have to enable that option also within FSXWX, for it is there, and will properly interact with that feature.

OK thanks I have that checked.

These pics look very nice.

These are my test flights for a working weather injector  Yeah!

It is working normally again - I swapped out the files again, though I had done exactly that a couple days ago...anyhow...here are some of my live weather shots from the last few days. Really good experience overall with Truesky. Definitely some bugs, but even with them I still prefer it to the 2d clouds.  The experience of actually flying in and out of clouds is a phenomenal enhancement.

Very nice!  I agree...with a running Weather Injector...I'm keepin TrueSky on.  It runs me around 5.1/4 in vRAM, with a sky crammed with clouds.  I can fly for ten  minutes, or half the day.  You must have had an issue with some files on your system, that never....never...corrupt...LOLOLOLOL!  Glad that you could overwrite them.  Happy flying.. 🙂

I want to believe... The FSXWX web site makes no mention of v5... The clouds do look a little"uniform" if I'm honest, perhaps it will be even better once full support for Truesky is implemented?

They do in fact...to tell you that you need the latest

Follow all directions and suggestions from this page..and you will certainly have a working and a great injector.  ASN will come...but it ain't here yet. This is..

Working for me, now to do some flights. Thanks for this. Should hopefully hold me over until AS.

What are your HDR lighting settings looks really good
