ActiveSky FS Released

Featured Replies

I have only spent a few minutes on it and am already floored. I haven't flown in the weather yet, but the historical weather and the depiction of the current live weather are massively better that the MSFS Live weather (and lack of historical weather)!

I spawned into the new KLGA with MSFS Live weather and thought it looked like terrible conditions. Turned on ASFS and the depiction was different enough that I tried to look for a web cam that might validate one or the other. Couldn't get a picture from the field, but one that was close by was a great deal closer to the ASFS depiction than the MSFS one.

Now to dig into the manual! Anyone figured out how to update the AIRAC on the program?

Congrats on the release Damian ! 

1 question Damian. Does AS able to control visibility when in live weather and outside metar area ? For example in P3D it did it based on humidity temperature and dew point. is it like this still ?

 

Thank you !

Not to divert the topic, but why would AS need an AIRAC update?  You mean to pick up new airports (METAR stations) or delete old ones?

LondonController is streaming should be stormy but nothing.

Just viewed his stream. Ended it with uninstalling ASFS and called it a “ waste of time”  

Really looking for some positive feedback before bitting the bullet.

Ain´t it just great that there are always individuals out there who can´t wait for a review and purchase it day 1 so that we can get even more reviews and beta testing for free?

A clear no buy when I see the first reviews. Looks like its rushed out before MSFS2024 to me.

That's kind of concerning, but also kind of extreme and at odds with:

Can someone provide a brief summary for me? I know there's a 20+ page thread elsewhere, but here's what I don't understand. Only a few short weeks ago, many people were correctly pointing out that, for whatever reason, Asobo had not yet decided to open up the sim to thirty-party weather development. Today, however, there's a finish product for sale. I'm very familiar with Damian Clark's esteemed reputation. And I'm sure the new product is of outstanding quality. I'm just wondering how we went from "no development allowed" to "On Sale Now" in only a few weeks. There's apparently something I'm missing.

My guess, he didn't know how to set it up.  Wouldn't be the first time a Youtuber did a review about a new product, and was clueless.

Both silly extremes. The truth always lies somewhere in the middle.

It has not been opened up and, indeed, there is no sign at all from Asobo that it ever will be. Active Sky has essentially done two things. One, what REX had already done, creating a preset and then modifying the parameters of that preset based on Active Sky's weather data. The other is to modify aspects of real weather that are accessible, it seems mainly turbulence settings. But here again the rabbit hole begins with ASFS being compatible with RealTurb, which adds things that ASFS doesn't -- so now I need two programs...

What's considered a toolbar mod for these purposes? Navigraph stuck its charts thing on my toolbar, but I suspect that's not the kind of mod that would interfere with AS, right?
