ActiveSky p3d v5.4

Featured Replies

Hello, everyone.

Why don't I ever see those cumulous or "popcorn" looking clouds with ActiveSky, like I used to with Rex Skyforce 3D??

I figured that I probably shouldn't run both programs together.

Maybe somebody knows how? 

Thank You in advance!

There is an easy fix to alter  clouds under Options. I remember  the exact setting and I’m not iat my computer so I can’t take a look for you but  scout around.

The other option is to purchase the add-on active sky cloud art,, which works perfectly with active sky. It’s a very good program offering a lot of options.

Good luck and when you get things set up, show us some pictures

Thanks for the advice! I did just purchase cloud art! I'll play around with it tomorrow and get back to you!

Take care!

What is your favorite cloud texture setting for clouds?

I look for fluffy cumulus…there are several choices…find the one that meets your taste. There is also an overall setting. I use dynamic which mimics live weather from Active Sky and creates the textures based on real time.

Just to chime in, I always use the dynamic theme as it provides a changing variety of clouds throughout the flight.  If you are flying a long haul, you wouldn’t expect to see the same clouds upon departure from egll that you see arriving to vhhh.  
 

But the great thing about P3d and active sky/asca is you can customize to your liking.

Is it called Full Dynamics? That's what I chose. There's another one called Global Automatic, but I'm following your advice. 

Thanks to both of you for your suggestion!!
