I will say, though, that the flat layer clouds currently rendered by ASFS (which I strongly prefer to the MSFS fluffy clouds), can do with a bit more substance to them. They do feel a bit sparse. Maybe that's technically accurate, as I don't know my meteorology, but if not, I'm sure it will get tweaked in subsequent versions.
April 19, 20242 yr Why is it seemingly so difficult for weather software to render 100% cloud cover when the real world skies are overcast (based on that comparison video above)? I seem to remember that even the preset overcast options in FSX and P3D had a hard time doing this.

I seem to remember that even the preset overcast options in FSX and P3D had a hard time doing this. As I said in my reaction to the video, my experience was the opposite. And to the 100% cloud cover, I flew from clear skies into such cover last night and it was very well rendered (I went looking for it by looking at the radar in ASFS).
April 19, 20242 yr Afraid of not reading the manual but is there a ASMSFS "flow" widget? The MSFS METAR doesnt work offcause . Otto does offcause Thanks Michael Moe Michael Moe

If you're not getting wx injected, that's covered here: https://forums.hifisimtech.com/threads/toolbar-mods.14820/ Hope that helps. I thought it will...but....I downloaded new Flow.....When I opened next time AS it prompted me to download update, I did, Launched everything again and message is showing "Waiting for simulator" and SIM is of course running.....Anyway, clearly, as much as I enjoyed AS in P3D for all this years, this one does not work in my system and have no idea what it is. If you have any idea where the problem is now let me know...... Thanks for your help Edited April 19, 20242 yr by cyyzrwy24 Alex

April 19, 20242 yr @Damian Clark, I just restarted utilities manually and came into life.....So i guess you should take a look at that why is not starting with SIm..... Thanks Edited April 19, 20242 yr by cyyzrwy24 Alex

I haven't seen all the streams but so far the ones I have seen indicate that the user doesn't have a clue on how to use the product. There's a comparison video from Easyjetsimpilot that went up about 2 hours ago. I didn't get to the end, but the initial 4 or 5 airports he looked at comparing live you tube feeds from those airports, to Active Sky & MSFS Live weather - he preferred the MSFS Live renditions. I don't know his AS settings & wonder if they were changed if that would make AS more favorable to him?? T45
April 19, 20242 yr Commercial Member Also bear in mind EJSP's video didn't touch on any of the turbulence / wake settings and effects which you can use with the default rendering if you so wish. You don't have to use the weather presets and can use default weather in conjunction with AS refinements to the air itself. I'm finding it a decent add-on so far FWIW.

Also the ATIS should be correct in MSFS, because that comes from the actual weather. For transparency: I'm a community mentor at the BATC discord. However, I do not get paid for it in any way.
April 19, 20242 yr Turbulence effects are GREAT. Much better than RealTurb. The aircraft is slightly shaking on cruise, like a boat, very smooth and credible. Have not ever seen this kind of turbulence in MSFS (with or without RealTurb). AS is worth it alone for those effects, no matter if you want the actual weather depiction or not.

This is something I have noted as well. All through the flight phases the turbulence effects are very well implemented 🛫

This. Or even more immersive you can use the audio ATIS and flightwatch that come with ASFS by just tuning 122.00, 122.02 or 122.05 in your COM. Edited April 19, 20242 yr by RALF9636
