Weather Settings

Can someone recommend realistic weather settings in 5.1 both in the sim and in conjunction with Active Sky?  I've done a few flights and even when reporting clear sky, it looks overcast unless you are looking straight down.  I figured there must be some sort of conflict or something.  What do you all reccomend?

Was this with EA enabled in P3D?

Should turn EA off and stick with default for a beginning. I have this setup with Active Sky Cloud Art.  Great for flying Real Weather which all I do. AS may fix it's problems with Prepar 3DV5 sooner if not later.

Disable EA then enable Trilinear under Texture Filtering then restart the PC then run AS and P3D 5.1.

Looks a bit better.

Are you by any chance seeing cloud popping in and out using ASCA?

Turn it off. I have ASCA as well and fly real weather all the time. Never noticed any cloud popping.
