HIFI ASFS update 052024 - B8906

Featured Replies

Update 052024 - B8906 (1.0.8906.36270)

- New turbulence injection method for better normalization between different setups, aircraft and frame rates
- New turbulence unpredictability with calm and variable intensity states, for more realistic and organic experience
- New cloud turbulence with MSFS ambient in-cloud detection and cloud turbulence for all cloud types and coverages in both Preset and Passive modes
- Added new Bypass Proxy option (general) to attempt to allow users using VPN/proxy to bypass proxy server/network (default off) – updated documentation
- Reduced random light chop approximately 50% in general occurrence rate per feedback
- Reduced roll rotational effect in turbulence approximately 15% as per feedback
- Reduced yaw effect in turbulence approximately 20% as per feedback
- Adjusted turbulence effect for additional translational ("bump") effect strength and reduced rotational effect strength as per feedback
- Adjusted wake turbulence to normalize effect based on latest turbulence/air effects changes
- Adjusted surface turbulence to result in higher occurrence of turbulence overall when winds are > calm
- Adjusted visibility graduation to occur at higher altitudes (4000-9000ft agl vs. 0-3000ft agl)
- Prevented turbulence effect during paused/in-menu states (could cause strange effects and aircraft instability when unpausing)
- Removed sigmet/airmet outside-boundary "vicinity influence" to contain influence to within the specific boundaries defined only
- Reduced potential inter-sigmet/airmet turbulence occurrence (so less total area of defined sigmet area contains actual turbulence as described)
- Changed realism mode turbulence scale factor to 50 (vs 60), easy mode changed to 30 (vs 20) - updated documentation
- Fixed issue with Force Low Humidity in High Vis option where it would not properly disable/persist
- Fixed issue with improper Chinese language units conversions resulting in improper temps and wind speeds

Ah, thank you! 👍

Surely not everybody was kung fu fighting.

If this is what's causing most ap ils approaches to constantly roll left and right of loc beam then this is good news! 

Otherwise the general turbulence effect has been pretty impressive at all altitudes.

I think they've been releasing too many beta versions after the latest official release v8883. I'll be holding up waiting for the next official version for now.

Agreed it used to be one a day the first week or so but it's been quiet recently. I really like the turbulence model so I will definitely install this as they have obviously put a LOT of work into tweaking it. 

The more people use the betas the more feedback they get to improve the stable releases.

As fs, using it in passive mode for now. When will they fix the way of weather change. Weather is changing instantly no gradual transition like msfs stock. Works still best. Asfs is just injecting instantly new weather and places it all around you, unrealistic as hell.

Too many? Only 2 versions were released, 8888 was 3 days after the official and 8906 was released 18 days after.

I think your settings must be off, I have flown AS many hours since it's release, and I haven't seen that.

Something's wrong there. I don't have those instant transitions. Seems something is triggering those transitions.

Ok, perhaps a setting? I have fiddled around for ages and went back to passive mode instead of active.

I tried to lower the weather change for smoother changes. But over time I see for example total overcast change into fair weather in an instant. Sudden wind turbulence jitter too when it happens!

Am I missing something?

Edit; preset / custom weather is selected of course for Asfs to take over.

You don't have to change to custom weather in msfs, leave it at live weather.

Do you have Flow installed?

What's your Download interval, Depiction smoothing rate and Peroidic theme reload settings?

Download interval at min = 5 minutes

Flow?? What is that?

I check the periodic theme reload? Haven't pinpointed that setting.

Depiction smoothing is set quite low as well. I will get this up but thought to left it standart at first.
