 I assume that you are using EA mode in P3d5. It takes about 20-30 seconds for ASP3D to gradually update and this results in a boiling, swirling effect in the clouds. To eliminate this glitch, Hifi has to wait for LM to improve the P3d5 PDK to add additional trueSky functionality.

Thanks for the reply. It did I fact take about 20-30 seconds prior.

but now it’s been minutes and doing the same.

Back to ASCA for now.

Just bought it together with ASCA. Really disappointed for such an expensive product. I was expecting a lot more. It should cost 15 euros or less, not the ridiculous price of 40 euros. And the performance is all over the place. GPU usage gets so low it's just ridiculous how bad framerates get (if I turn on EA, GPU usage goes to 99% but ASP3D crashes soon after).

I did use Active Sky together with REX Skyforce cloud textures on P3D v4.

Now I have ASP3D together with REX Skyforce cloud textures on P3D v5.

It all looks the same to me and I have not noticed any graphical or performance difference between Active Sky for P3D v4 and ASP3D for P3D v5.

I dont use EA.

Both kills FPS with multiple cloud levels and precipitation.

Having said that I would never fly P3D v5 without ASP3D- its really great for weather.

Do you happen to know if REX is planing on making SkyForce officially compatible with v5? I have it but am not using yet in v5.

No I dont know. I suspect that EA is causing difficulties with the developer. But it works well when just using the cloud textures.
