It has more control over the sim internals in P3D, but I hope that a better SDK weather interface in XP12 will make it even better that what it is already.

February 16, 20242 yr Yes, as soon as Laminar will make their full weather-API available, AS will be able to improve their tool. I think it makes sense to wait til the weather is fine-tuned before giving the full access. As far as I understood this should happen with XP12.2.0. i9 12900k, RTX 3090, 32GB RAM

One of the most important features is historical weather.

February 18, 20242 yr I kind of liked the ASXP but have stopped using it due to the weather redraws I get with it and never have noticed with the in-built weather. Do you guys have this as well with ASXP? Thinking if there's some setting I've overlooked or something.. ? Richard 7950x3d | 32Gb 6000mHz RAM | 8Tb NVme | RTX 4090 | MSFS | P3D | XP12

Do you guys have this as well with ASXP? Thinking if there's some setting I've overlooked or something.. ? There are two options that minimize the occurences of cloud redraws: .) Use hybrid mode, where by default 10,000' is the alt above which xp12 built in weather is used, but you can change that to lower / higher; .) Bypass mode which uses xp12 built in weather and applies to it only effects like those of eliminating the buggy rain everywhere there's clouds, turbulence and wind tunning, etc... HiFi needs decent SDK to allow for AS to do it's Magic ...

February 19, 20242 yr Commercial Member Any chance to avoid complete cloud redraws in XP11? Sometimes it's not only a cloud redraw, on my last approach ASXP did a redraw and injected foggy weather for 20 seconds, then did another redraw and injected the weather before that, just with similar clouds.

Yes and yes. Lately I just insert the FP manually in ASXP, since I fly direct GPS.

February 20, 20242 yr Maybe with a manual direct to/ direct to … flight plan in ASXP can’t distinguish the start of the approach. Let’s hope Damian can comment on this. edit.. just had another thought on this do you enter the flight levels in ( and descent speeds ) as it may need to know where you TOD is .

I thought shorter interval will make weather refreshes less noticeable, in other words will not go from cloudy to overcast in 15 minutes, like it happened few times with ASXP. But as I think of it, it can happen in real world, weather can change drastically in 15 to 30 minutes too. I'ts just the change is too drastic with ASXP. I hope that is fixed with XP12.

April 13, 20242 yr I recently purchased ASXP, and unfortunately the weather transitions really impacts the immersion for me. I've tried hybrid, where it switches over to XP weather at FL10 (setting 100). However you get the same immediate transition. Again on decent and at the arrival ICAO. Really hope this gets fixed in later iterations, if in fact LR release the API / access to third parties. Alternative maybe LR will fix the accuracy of their weather source meaning ASXP becomes redundant. Happy either way🙂 Edited April 13, 20242 yr by lmg80
