November 27, 20232 yr Author Ok, I will buy it now. Fs pilots real weather is far better with v5 than v6 .
November 27, 20232 yr AS P3d and now P3d v6 is simply the BEST weather injector I have ever used... Still my go-to when I want to try some RW weather scenario... No go with other solutions I have tried, although I can't comment on FSGRW for v6 because I never tried it. FSGRW would surely be my second choice though. Weather and the poor simulation I got from MFS was one of the main reasons that made me abandon that platform. I P3D I can get exactly what I see in the forecasts and METAR depiction has always been simply superb!

November 28, 20232 yr Moderator I’ve been a happy user of ASP3D and ASCA for many years. With my new GPU I can move all the cloud quality sliders to the max and with EA enabled they look very impressive. Ray (Cheshire, England).

November 28, 20232 yr Thanks Ray. I have some budget available for FS addons, and I was thinking about ASCA. After almost two years with v5 (always with EA on and VC off), I never used anything for clouds other than default (unlike v4/FSX, for which I used REX). Looks like I'll be buying.

Try setting all ASCA Cloud quality layers to max if your GPU doesn’t complain too much. I haven’t seen many recommendations for VC. Maybe it’s better in v6. Agree with Blasb 2D clouds do look very good. I just need to adjust the look of the ground (too bluish) and the sky (not enough blue at altitude) but I’ll leave that for a separate post.
