ActiveSky FS Released
Luis Hernandez replied to DMullert's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
Does anyone see any performance impact? Flight1 no longer has the 30-day refund option so that I could check for myself. -
Indie developer Ken Hall has recently released his second batch of PNG airstrips. They are available at the ORBX site and are a fantastic way to bring this remote part of the world to life. Susi Air of course does not fly in this part of Papua, but I like the livery, so I was able to convince them to transfer one of their Pilatus planes, which usually operates in the Indonesian part of Papua 🙂 Climb, baby, climb Flying along Papua’s eastern shore. In the distance you can see Umboi Island Over Yalumet. No other plane blocks the runway Thanks for viewing

This is going to hurt the wallet a bit more soon! This guy never sleeps, his Oslo scenery hit the market today and here he goes with EDDF nearing completion! -
Ah, a glass is empty observation, on a positive thread.

Its good at the moment but I'm still very optimistic with Microsoft , they pulled the plug and abandoned us once and I feel they will do it again eventually

First think you must do is to change the strap. There are many options available on ebay or amazon. The most advertised is BoboVR or so. Like in the post above. But It might be pricy. What I did, i just ordered the similar strap from Aliexpress which cost much less and I am happy about it now. You don;t need the strap with batteries for sure. At least for myself. What I do, I fire up the sim, fly for a certain amount of time and when I am at cruising level, I just put the headset and plug into the socket to charge (in the headset settings must set the sleeping option for 2 or 4h). Or you can buy a longer type C cable and just plug it into the socket and the headset. Thus it will be charging while you flying. Very simple 🙂 Regarding cleaning the lenses, I just use the silk cloth from my sunglasses But I don;t clean often.... -

Cheers PMP! Take a visit - it's well worth it. I spent 3 or 4 hours pootling around on this jaunt, and took loads of shots that I'll never post here (just various nothing special ground level shots). Even with dodgy PG it's a tremendously fine area to explore. Thanks Bernd! Never did make it dahn under in real life, and that certainly won't be happening now (unless they come up with the whole "beam me up Scotty" thing in the next couple of years). It might sound sad to some folk, but with this sim and my setup I really do feel like I'm actually visiting these places. I had plenty of real travel time back in the day, but wild horses couldn't drag me to a real airport and on to a real plane nowadays. Been there, done way too much of that. Sitting on a plane is just no fun and not interesting, and I find that to be true in the sim as well. I have just been building a sort of "cockpit" setup using my previous sim PC and a load of spare/unused bits and pieces, but I'm not actually convinced it will get that much use. Sitting in the cockpit in the sim is close to as boring as sitting in cattle class in real life for me, but we'll see. I had 95% of what I needed to build it so I figured I might as well. But trips like this are what do it for me, sim-wise. As you can tell, I just love to explore down at pixel ground level, and there are ever more bits of scenery coming along that make that ever more rewarding. -
For some time my Dell laptop (i5-8300H 2.3Ghz) has been very sluggish when I've been using PFPX to generate flight plans. It was frustrating as I couldn't work out what the cause was. Yesterday I found the culprit. NGFMSAgent.exe running to advise of updates to their AIRAC updates. It was easily the most demanding executable in Task Manager. But why? I had already installed the latest AIRAC data. Looking at settings I had the Notification slider at 6 hours. I'm not sure why I would need it to check that often especially when Aivlasoft's EFB show a warning when a new cycle is required. So I've stopped this program running at Windows startup and PFPX (plus everything else probably) is now much better with no pauses or apparent lockups. If you have a FMS Data subscription maybe consider stopping it running continuously which doesn't seem logical.

Active Sky FS First Impressions
roi1862 replied to SierraHotel's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
So just so i will understand, if i will set it to 10 minutes, i will see it slowly slowly building up ? Meaning that by the time they finished building up i already passed them ? i was sure the main point is for them to build up when beyond visual sight -
Not much used to MSFS depicts clouds, I'm a Prepar3d flyer that can not live with the MSFS clouds depictions. I'm talking about flat clouds, only depicted by ASFS while comparing with actual real phisical true sky in the same place. Out of my window I have shot the real sky and I'm not seeing a flat low density single layer of clouds like are depicting in LEMI ASFS now. Regards and thank you for reading my post 😉
-
Hm strange. No stability issues for me at all.
-
Of course they are. Many overcasts look exactly like this. I am seeing one right here outside the window. It looks like P3D outside of my window, if you will. Again, you will see different types of clouds and overcasts at different times. You're just too much used to how MSFS depicts clouds all the time. AS can and will do that too (saw it on yesterday's flight, big voluminous clouds), but not always and everywhere.
-
It was not in the tray either.
-
My previous detached bungalow is a block of flats and my current detached house is a semi in MSFS. From what I have heard, it's going to be much better in MSFS 2024. At least two of my previous homes are in photogrammetry areas though.

Active Sky FS First Impressions
Fiorentoni replied to SierraHotel's topic in Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020)
That's likely with a very high transition setting. It took 10 seconds. With lower transition speeds it takes 1 to 10 minutes (as you like). I've set it to about 5 minutes, so it changes over 5 minutes. I have not noticed one single morphing/appearing/disappearing on yesterdays flight with it, certainly no popping. And mind you I *was* actively looking for it! -
Same angle used already. And I'm taking screen shot of actual clouds in real place, so do not say that I'm talking about realism, I'm talking about visual, and this flat clouds generated by ASFS are not realistic too. I do not like the msfs cloud for the hyperdramtism look, for this reason I bouht it ASFS, but not for flat cartoonish cloud like that.
-
There's an option to minimize directly to the tray instead of the taskbar. I mean, one would have known had he took one minute to look at the settings or read the manual...

Yeah, is immersion killer IMO, but yeah everyone to their own taste. -
You're not even looking from the same angle when you compare those. Of course clouds do look different from below, above or right in the middle of them! You need to compare the same angle, same position, same perspective between the three of them. Also whether clouds "look" better is not the same as whether they are more realistic. The clouds themselves (visuals, textures etc.) are always the same - MSFS technology. The *types* of clouds are however generated differently. While MSFS default will always show you unrealistic volcanic ash clouds, AS will show a great variety of types. And yes, some overcasts look boring in real life too.
-
Totally! Apart from the occasional server side slowdowns/weirdness, MSFS is so good at the moment I have to say I'm not even particularly excited about MSFS2024. I'm still buying loads of addons for 2020, and will probably do so right up to the 2024 launch. Of course I'll buy 2024, but if they'd never announced it I'd be just as happy to carry on as is.
-
Sorry, I mean the Windows taskbar. Not in the sim. They could not bring the application window back.
-
Minutes ago, around LEMI very very poor clouds at my taste with ASFS Real clouds around LEMI, ASFS CLOUDS, MSFS CLOUDS, XENVIRO2020 CLOUDS https://imgur.com/a/trghZnM Why these flat clouds, like in the first editions of ASP3D V.5? I had to deactivate Xenviro2020, I have bought every version ever made of Active Sky, I really want to love it but this cloud depiction are so poor... I got the screenshots minutes ago while live streaming If somebody wants to see the video PM, please. I'm not here for spaming my youtube channel. Regards
-
Huh? There's no AS in the toolbar. At least on my side. It's an external app, like FSLTL or AIG.
- Today
-
Common for all the streams I saw yesterday was that they had issues with the GUI. It kept disappearing from the toolbar and they had to restart the application to bring it back.
-
In sim is set to low since I've always found realistic to be anything but that.
