Active Sky for 4.5HF3 - 7514 or 7410

[G-YMML1 582]

HF website states for both are good for v4.5HF3, but what is the difference besides the fact that 7514 is open beta?

Hi,

I think you will find that build 7410 is related to the current, official released Hifi ASP4 product for P3Dv4 while 7514 is the open beta version still in development of the new ActiveSkyP3D designed for P3Dv4 and v5..

Note. The Open Beta is exactly that. Simmers can try it if they like but there no official support for the Beta based on what's stated on their forums.

The difference with the new beta  according to Hifi is:

 

Many of the back-end systems of ActiveSky have been completely redesigned or overhauled for ASP3D

• New P3D add-on folder specification/design, with everything installed outside of the P3D folders – Includes ASCA support (with SP3 Update)
• New networking design eliminating the need for SimConnect configuration in networked environments – Just install ASP3D, install the included Connector on the server machine, configure your shared paths, and go!
• New XGauge universal design that works for any aircraft without needing to install into panels – New reworked airborne radar mode visualization with radial signal processing + multiple radar usage capability (you can now use multiple AS Radar API add-on radar displays together along with XGauge airborne radar mode all at the same time)
• Wind smoothing redesigned for higher frequency force actuation and organic feel

Interesting - thanks. 

But how stable the beta is in 4.5HF3? Any significant differences comparing with the official release? And do we, the 4.5 gang, really need it?

Since the latest beta it appears relatively stable. I havent installed ASP3D for P3Dv4.5 yet since its working perfectly fine as it is. I dont see the big rush to move to ASP3D just yet. Just my personal opinion.

Not a AS issue but LM's.

Only with EA which is in beta by LM

I took a "leap of faith" and installed Beta 8 with v5 and all looks OK so far. I am not running EA in v5 since there are known issues with this functionality.
