I'm sorry but if I have to fly with the stupid toolbar always in my face just for this program to work, I will never purchase it.

Does it add cloud turbulence to MSFS live weather in passive mode?

It’s bizarre to me that that so many people on Reddit and other communities are unable to see the improvements that ASFS offers and are saying they prefer the default. 
 

The depiction of the weather, turbulence, humidity, cloud types with various shapes and density is so much better than the default live weather in my opinion. Switching back to live weather, it becomes so evident that the full capabilities of the engine aren’t even used. 

The turbulence and random chop feels natural and variable whereas default is very binary and more ‘programmed’. 

I took off from Singapore yesterday and instantly noticed that the atmosphere looked different because of the higher humidity in the region. I’ve never seen live weather do this. 
The cloud types selected for the area were also spot on for the tropical climate.

IMHO, this is a "me too" reaction that I have seen often. I expect that many of these "users" have either (a) never really used the product and are parroting what some clueless youtube influencers have said or (b) they just fire up the default and make no effort to tune the program to their system. I have flown easily oiver 100 flights using ASFS and there is no comparison on the overall experience, it is far superior and much more accurate that default.

Just one question:

Could ASFS be used with a single license on two different machines running MSFS2020 with the same MS/Asobo license (of course, not at the same time, but just one at a time)?.

Thanks

Ed -  Damien will correct me if I am wrong but I believe you can use ASFS on two systems but not at the same time. You "may" have to reactivate the specific device when you switch but not sure about that.

You don't.  I just user another toolbar hiding add-on that is not that one, and all is good.  I'll link it to you when I'm home later.

ASFS is permitted for use, non-simultaneously, on any number of systems, by the licensed user.  It's essentially the "steam" system.  Logon from anywhere yourself, but don't share with a friend.

I was using AIG but was the only plane on approach to 12 while others were using 09 so no AI anywhere in my descent path. 

This was a violent forced uncontrolled pitch over and crash which I've never experienced in FS or the PMDG or even the prior ASFS build.  

It does sound like a wake effect event, for sure, that's the only thing that we have in air effects that gives a significant rolling motion (when you're in those relevant portions of the simulated vortices).  Not sure what triggered it.  And it seems excessive to do that much damage in the aircraft you were flying.  But it may have been correct.  I have multiplayer traffic on and sometimes will see aircraft move/slew right in front of me, giving me the wake, and some times I don't see them (but then see them and their wake trail in the map).  It's possible a heavy did leave a wake trail for you.  I'd suggest flying with wake off to see if this goes away.  If you find any specific issues please let us know.

Loving it  😃 

I’m sure with time and updates it’ll mature even better than what it already is .

We should have compatibility with all toolbar mods very soon.  Stay tuned for an update.
