Morning Vic.  Yes, even after doing a refresh in the Debug, there are no clouds in P3dV5 when using the latest beta of AS.

I had the same issue with FSWX before AS was updated to v5. What I had to do with that program as well as AS is start P3D and position your plane where you want fully loaded into sim then start AS and clouds should appear.

It seems EA will not update properly unless you are already in the sim. Also do not touch any settings in the graphics menu or else you will loose the cloud updating and it will not work again until a restart of the sim.

If you have EA off then you can do as you normally would and start AS before the sim.

Another issue is the clouds will suddenly appear when you enter a new area that a wx theme has been created so you could be clear skies then your in heavy overcast.  Its like the old FSX days of cloud popping.  Plus there is no variation its all one level and one look with EA.

I guess that is why LM stated it was beta.

I must say that default clouds with FSGRW looks way better on my system widescreen monitor then Active Sky and Asca. I am not using the beta atmos.

The Asca clouds look like from a comic book

'These' posts? I think you've misunderstood mine. Try again. Microsoft must be laughing their socks because of the cock-up LM is making of v5.

And again, when Microsoft's perfect, completely error-free sim comes out, you will be proven correct.

All LM had to do, was to delay the release of v5, like what some Beta testers ask LM to do, but apparently LM had their reasons to release when they did, and we the users are currently suffering the consequences, it's a shame because P3D v5 has great potential to be a classic flight sim, and I'm sure given time it will.

Amen to that.

Yeah, HF1 should have been the release version. It was two weeks. I understand people’s frustrations. But this gloating about MSFS is just nonsense. 

This probably works out well for LM. Those simmers off from work get to beta test a lot doing the covid 19. Am still working but on my off days I use there is a new sim out to skip the house work..

 

How quickly we forget. There were hundreds of posts of problems with FSX on release. There were endless posts of tweaks that were needed to bring it up to snuff. Nothing new.

I'm not gloating about MSFS, obviously when that's released it will have it's own issues.

I still havent network client/server sucess. No problem with simconnect on old ASP4.

I have checked port 445 and 19284/5 but they were allready used with ASP4 .

excluded the addon/ActiveSkyP5 folder .Shared every P3D5 folders as well. 

Checked regedit for paths which now has a Connector streng for v4 and v5 and it all seems right. What have i missed? 

Thanks Michael Moe (page 88 in manual)

Same here. There is a thread running in the AS beta forum on this, there are a lot of people (including you and me) with that issue.

Kind regards, Michael

I didn’t say you were. And yes, it will, which will leave egg on a lot of the faces in these forums.

Just to clarify things, on which side of the 'fence' are you sitting?
