I created a new method to set a realistic haze in XP12

Thanks for your help 👍 Will do that. And another thing I noticed: at each refresh (300 sec) the sim freezes for about 5-10 seconds, although having excluded the script-folder from the virus-checks…

I still don't know the answer to this - many don't see this at all!  In the latest version I have a tick box allowing for separate API calls or combined - let me know if the combined option is an improvement for you.

    Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words, and what a validation coming from someone with 31 years at the Met Office working with ECMWF data. That means a great deal.  You've understood exactly

    Thank you, glad you are enjoying it. In the next version I am correcting how quickly the haze clears.  What should happen is the haze level is consistent up to the BLH (Boundary Layer Height).  O

    Thank you for the candid feedback. I'm happy to address each point directly. On incorrect assumptions about X-Plane's weather engine: I'd genuinely welcome specifics here. Au

As others have reported, I've now begun to experience the about-five-second freeze in X-plane followed by the Powershell pop-out (flashes by) and another second or so before XP resumes. Using the 1.9 version, at 300 second interval between checks (now extended to 900 to reduce the bother)..

There's only 1 thing that will fix the pausing for everyone: async web access. Either have to background the process in powerhell or somehow bundle an external fancy library with FWL or switch to a language that has threads.

Friendly reminder: WHITELIST AVSIM IN YOUR AD-BLOCKER. Especially if you're on a modern CPU that can run a flight simulator well. These web servers aren't free...

I continue to have no pauses at all, no power shell popouts, everything absolutely smooth... I have FPS throttled at 30 through the Xp12 EXE flag and run the sim at 5 FMs per frame.

I did the same and increased to max 900.  I also switch it over to manual on descent so it doesn't happen during landing...it seems to hold whatever whatever values were there in Live...

Only problem is any haze won't thicken up if you above BLH altitude.

 

I have tried a couple of ways to fix the paused but unsuccessful so far.

I think I have solved this pause issue by using Python for the HTTP API calls.  I'm testing it now on my PC and I see no flashes or pauses at all in XP12.

This problem fixed in the next release - no pauses or windows opening.

YA-DA-MAN!!!!! 🙏

Well, and it wasn't even a problem I came accross... But great to see this level of support !!!

Now, sometime in the future, it would be great to have an app that paints high alt clouds (As Cs Cc), which Xp12 dosen't really do that well...

Great news and I really start to appreciate that plugin more and more. A think I still don't understand quite well, is why there are some layer of haze appearing out of nowhere. Is that a known bug in XP12 that cannot be fixed now?

That looks far too local an effect for AutoHaze to be responsible.  Perhaps others have seen this in X-Plane - I haven't.

Great! Thanks again. The version is showing as 1.9, rather than 2.0...

No no, it’s already an issue in the default XP12-version. I was just wondering if there was something we could do about that…

Oops.  Let me know if your pauses are solved.
