I hope that's the case, but tell me why you think so? They've been through a few (4 🙂 ) betas now....

Damian Clark from HifiSim shared that the Beta Active Sky for Prepar3D may end the 18 of June. Source : https://forums.hifisimtech.com/threads/open-beta-4-b7459-posted.11960/post-56317

Rob McCarthy from Lockheed Martin posted the 20th of May that HF2 should be released in "the next couple of weeks". Should be close to this point, no ? Source : https://www.prepar3d.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=219259#p219259

Has anybody seen AI contrails with Active Sky?

I'm using AIG and there are none but as soon I switch to another weather engine they are back.

Changelog:
- P3Dv5 Compatibility Updates

[vbazillio 2,234]

Quote

- P3Dv5 Compatibility Updates

- Added new configurable hotkey option and handling for new XGauge implementation (defaults to CTRL-SHIFT-F11)
- Added new Beta #4 survey and handling
- Added warning icon next to connection status (Waiting for simulator) when ASP3D Connector not detected after 3 minutes, with hoverable tooltip and clickable popup message explaining that the Add-on may not be enabled in P3D and providing instructions on how to enable it
- Added detection and warning when PASTING password and leading or trailing whitespace is detected, so that user does not get unintended password errors when including blank spaces before or after a password
- Added new CANCEL button and handling, with associated warning, during ASP3D Connector/Add-on checking to avoid an endless loop if user did not install or update to the proper ASP3D connector version
- Fixed lingering voice folder / broken ATIS/flightwatch voice functionality due to installation content and path selection issue
- Fixed XGauge resize/move issue
- Fixed server logging issue that could cause logging to fail in some cases
- Fixed radar/API range issues causing data issues at 80nm and during range changes
- Fixed radar issue where a green arc could be drawn at edges
- Fixed runway selection / runway in use functionality and changed data to internal scenery vs. Navigraph data (to ensure proper ATC and visual synchronization to runway data)
- Fixed form dock status recall issue
- Changed local stand-alone (non-networked) configuration to use exclusive data comms via ASP3D components vs. simconnect, in effort to improve synchronization with P3D connected status
- Various XGauge adjustments including new use of radial data and echo shadow/attenuation simulation
- Updated API Documentation regarding use of radial data mode with echo shadow/attenuation simulation
- Updated README.rtf file to include new KNOWN ISSUE information that all ASP3D OPEN BETA participants should be aware of including potential stuck "Waiting for simulator" condition

god lets hope so... although id imagine  they have a ton of bug fixes to address.  do they keep ploughing through them and hold off on the hotfix 3 or release hf3 and carrying on ploughing.

be interesting to see

We're aware of a temp issue affecting contrails and proper temps at higher altitudes in some cases.  Should be fixed for the next build.
