    That is a good idea. The PC-12 is the most complex FM we have done yet and we didn't expect the users to have such issues. Part of it is our own bias though. We are so used to it that we couldn't see the forest for the trees.

    Really want to get my hands on SimFX, that's also on hold until SU15

  5. IanHarrison
    I am on 5.4 and I have the new Wembley Stadium. So comments above are odd about 5.4 having the old one.

    I consider passive mode as default. I think what I mean is that the depiction looks more believable with ActiveSky generating the visuals. They use variety of cloud coverage, types, transparencies, humidity and the cloudscapes just look more similar to what one would witness out the window of a commercial flight. Subjective opinion though, but it’s nice we have options.

    I have not yet decided to remove these functions.

    Hard to wait because it’s putting other devs on pause before they release! Esp have been truly craving the black square dukes!!!

    The clouds above 5000 has had an initial fix with the latest beta version of the software Changelog: Update 042424B - B8880B- Initial implementation of >5000ft cloud generation especially in Europe (NSC/NCD) - More work in progress- Smoothing tuning, mainly in attempts to eliminate earlier shifts/clearing in some cases- Added new option: Use periodic theme reloads. Default On. Enable this option to have the weather theme rebuilt periodically, approximately every 7 minutes, to provide updates and variation to the weather as you fly. Without this option enabled, updates will occur only as per your download interval setting.- Added temporary additional UI console logging for transitions monitoring (http://127.0.0.1:19999/inspector/Main.html?page=38)- Added additional logging for turbulence (simconnect log) and transitions events (main session log)- Adjusted METAR sky condition element filtering to not bypass "on the ground" 0 AGL altitude layers specified (e.g. FEW000)- Attempted fix for issue where after pressing REFRESH (debug screen) and then moving download interval slider (general options), time request can default to beginning of hour and could cause historical mode to activate- Attempted fix for flight-plan-related anomalies in weather updates, locking, and refreshing- Fixed issue with Enabled temperature-based altimeter errors option not persisting properly- Fixed issue with AS_FS_SimConnectLog.txt not properly attaching to log exports- Removed Maximum Upper Visibility option (this is not having the desired effect despite our attempts to control upper visibility without MSFS overriding this at higher altitudes)- Fixed NCD/NSC/CAVOK cloud generation issue causing loss of METAR cloud layers in some cases

    No sorry, that would let too many aircraft disappear, as well in your sim as in your TCAS. You better not use PSXT if you do not want real live traffic around you. 😉 No, they don't hit you. It is a "near collision" If I would use larger distances, you would wipe out too many parked aircraf too. Note that PSXT exists for almost 10 years now. These collsion avoidance functions have not changed since then

    The 700 number includes their partners not just people working full time on the sim.

    What laptop do you have? 15 years ago it was 2009, maybe you can do even better.

    The few times I used Historical weather in P3D, was when there was severe weather somewhere, like a snowstorm, or squall line somewhere.Almost never was that in the last 24 hours. The 24 hour thing for me, probably will never be used.

    Along with the other scenery issues, the ocean wave textures are far too big in V6, we modified them for our sim setup, if anyone else finds them too big you can download our patched textures. PM this member for the site! Rom

    Sometimes good software understands why a pilot eschews studying the manual and just takes the new plane up for a quick pattern. And it then offers subtle encouragement to become more engaged. "I guess that you were trying to accelerate the retirement of this particular Tornado. If so...good job."

    You might, I could care less. The way I use MSFS it's never to see how things might go last month. I will appreciate being able to duplicate weather appropriate for time of day when I fly in areas in other hemispheres so once again zero need to duplicate weather last week or what have you and I suspect that is the case for the vast majority of users. Glad they won't waste programming resources for more than 24h worth.

    Might be an idea to prepare a tutorial/introduction video when SWS has a new product. Same as what Scott from A2A does, there he can explain on his own terms all the little nuances. I think sometimes these Twitch/YouTube pilots also miss the experience/knowledge to understand these small fidelity items that some developer include in their models. And they have quite a big audience that basically see them struggling, which sets the(wrong) tone right away.

    Don't really know. The main point is that AS Active mode works with weather themes, so one weather type for the entire globe. How they do that (just metar or also other data) isn't that important to me. That sounds good but I suppose you also didn't see a thunderstorm or any other type of weather (different than the one you are flying in) somewhere on the horizon... It's great seeing different types of weather in the distance and to fly towards it or to evade it. AS active mode can't do that. It's all the same everywhere.

    I suppose a way around it is to give others an SKD of all the data fields related to weather that are on the client side -- so that a company like REX or Active Sky can easily insert data to your particular installation of MSFS. These companies have now figured out how to do this in a preset, likely to a limited degree, but then have to turn off live weather -- as live weather and a preset are mutually exclusive. An SKD of client weather might help, although what can be done in a preset is likely more circumscribed so it may also entail building out data fields related to those presets. Maybe Asobo will do this, but it does it at its own expense. But it is hard for me to visualize how Asobo can give access to the live weather client fields without creating a security threat that a client installation could be used or configured to be used to access and attack Azure servers. When you run Active Sky r Rex you are giving those companies access to your computer; MS does not really care about this as you are taking all the risk. But opening live weather, even providing a detailed SKD of it, opens potential vectors to attack, and there are bad actors out there always looking for attack vectors. I just don't see a way around that given the current design.

    Well sure, that was why I passed this on to others here perplexed as to what was bothering me with FG. I only just figured this out. And here's the reality for me. I've figured out what it is that contributes to this--it's pretty much any kind of sharpening algorithm including Render Scale (mine's at 150), TAA (versus DLSS or other 'softer' algorithms), and as explained, AMD FidelityFX (at max 200). I'm using all of these hence the issue surfaces. I've become duly spoiled by looking at AMD FX of 200 along w/ RS at 150 and rock-solid image quality everywhere. The degree of clarity, sharpness and so forth from everything from characters in glass cockpits, FMC and so forth, to objects near and farther is unparalleled in my experience. Couple that with the fact I am constantly moving back and forth from main screen to 2nd, and every one of those gets a modest judder when returning to the main screen. Using FG allows me to put the native rate to 30fps and the cost of that is less sharpness, frequent screen judder and a little less 'stability' in glass cockpit/FMC. That latter is very modest and not a show stopper at all now when AMD FX is set at 50 or 70 or what have you. But with all three of these combined the value of FG for me drops enough to avoid using it as my default mode--largely this is because 7800X3D/4090 is able to produce solid frame rates of at least 40 in most settings. And the reality is I don't find a frame rate of 40 or 45 undesirable, at all. Panning is great, as is everything else, in native mode. What this translates to for me is that I'm only going to use FG when I can't maintain a native frame rate of 40 or more, and that can happen in the most complex settings I find myself in. Thanks all for helping me get to the bottom of this, for now. My sense is that this area will continue to be improved with driver revisions, IOW it will only improve.

    Would be interesting to know if they'd consider "historical Live AI Traffic" to go alongside the historical weather. I know it wouldn't be "live" if it was historical, but it would be good if you could sync with the time of day. So if for example I'm taking off 12 hours ago the live traffic beind displayed was also from that time. I'm guessing since its taken four years for them to understand the point of historical weather, and then implement a 24 hour verison, it will be at least another four years before we get historical live AI!! Yes - I know you can do this with PSXT + RT - But the coverage is getting pretty bad.

    …and some other data between METARs? I still haven’t seen any noticeable transitions, so that’s a good thing.
  25. Tuskin38
    I’m guessing they’re sharing coding between the A320N and the BelugaXL/A330 Since the Beluga would have started development first presumably because it was in the 2024 trailer.

    It's tranning, see ?... I keep holding myself from looking at bottoms... Wife always complains...

    As long as the AS active mode depends entirely on presets, so weather themes like you would manually create them, there is no way this will be possible. Weather presets can only deal with one type of weather, period. Not much anyone (apart from MS Asobo) can do about this. The AS active mode is 'nothing but' an automated preset generator that generates presets on the fly based on Metar and switches between them (as) smoothly (as possible) because only one weather theme can be the active one at a time. Now that we know MSFS 2024 won't come with truly historic weather (when someone talks about history I seldom think about the last 24 hours... usually history has to do with things that happened long ago) my only option to fly in different seasons than the current want seems to be AS (active mode). But I don't think I can stand one active weather theme all around me as far as the eye can see... The MSFS default live weather spoiled me. Who knows MS Asobo will open up the API for 3rd party devs with the release of MSFS 2024 and a truly new and full blown weather engine might appear in the future...

    yes if you look at the bottom of his specs and his first post 🙂
