March 17, 20215 yr I'm currently using P3Dv5 with the PMDG 777 and Active Sky v5. If I use EA will I still get returns on the weather radar?

March 17, 20215 yr Most of the time you won't. Same with using FSLabs Airbuses and EA. Ivan Majetic ROG CROSSHAIR X670E HERO; 7900X3D; NZXT KRAKEN ELITE 360, GIGABYTE RTX 4080; G.SKILL TridentZ NEO RGB DDR5 64 Gb, WD HDD 2TB, SAMSUNG 980PRO, SAMSUNG 970EVO Plus 2x, ALIENWARE 3423DWF
March 17, 20215 yr I have not noticed any problems with the weather radar and EA. Remember that light rain won't usually give any returns, which is accurate.

I’ve also noticed of not having any wx returns when obviously there was a TCU right in front of me. No matter the A/C or developer. I believe there is still some kind of a limitation with TrueSky.

I believe there is still some kind of a limitation with TrueSky. Sometimes I could make it work disabling EA, going back to flight and then re enabling EA. Same with rain and thunder sound. Unfortunately more times than less the rain sound disables again (I posted in P3D forums about this with no response). This is on the NGXu though. SN737
March 18, 20215 yr The weather radar isn't a cloud detector. It detects precipitation of moderate intensity and upwards. Light rain won't show. No rain , no return. Simply put. So make sure there's actual moderate or heavy rain before concluding it doesn't work.

However, I’ve turned it off because I’m tired of having glowing aircraft at night with dynamic reflections enabled (and aircraft look to shiny with dynamic reflections disabled), and I also only seemingly ever get 1 (and only 1) cloud layer with it, which makes flying with any kind of weather patterns across multiple altitudes a let down.

March 18, 20215 yr Author Only one cloud layer? That seems a bit pointless? Surely if it's 'Enhanced' it should be showing more than what the standard weather generator does?

Yes, it is not a “cloud detector” however when there is clearly a thunderstorm in front of you (stated by the METAR) and yet it is not shown then it is just simply wrong.

Only thing is that I am missing from V4.5 is weather, clouds and night lights....but as they said personal preference. I don't like nothing with EA, I hope they will make it better....
