  1. Past hour
  2. It looks like it's back in full action on RT today. Keep my fingers crossed. PS. Time to buy new BMW Scenery perhaps
  3. How long did you wait at these locations for rain to come? Did you see any showers in the vicinity? Showers and thunderstorms are moving with the wind. So they should be around but not necessarily over the airport right at the moment you spawn there.

  5. When playing video games is compared to having a job....
  6. Mind blowing scenery one of the best, big fan of Jo Erlend his stuff and amazing performance... He creates a immersive airport environment when arriving at the gate or starting a flight. As for GSX, we from the GSX communitiy are working on GSX profile with all the bells and whistles with VDGS and simbrief integration and a hybrid version with the Aerosoft VDGS and a lot more. All his stuff is a day one purchase 😎
  7. I think the product has great potential. I've used your products in FSX and XP11 so pleased to see it in MSFS. I was sat at an airport watching clouds rolling by and could see a large band of cloud moving towards me that was fun to watch. Is there a place to report bugs and issues. Couple things I have noticed is that rain/showers have been reported in the metar but there was no rain depicted. (EGCC today around 1800z.) I then went hunting for thunderstorms, ended up at KGLH and again no rain or thunderstorms... Also repeating cloud textures when at altitude giving a sort of grid style effect, would be nice if that can be improved Going forward i think an integrated weather radar we can use in 3rd part planes when using Active Sky Live weather would certainly put the cat amongst the pigeons. Whilst MSFS has advantages, it also has its drawbacks and this could certainly be a game changer.
  8. When we don't have nearby METAR data it's mostly by the global forecast model data and for visibility this will be based on temperature and dewpoint parameters (and some air stability influence as well). So the short answer is yes, we control visibility outside of METAR coverage areas, and it shouldn't always be unlimited.
  9. None, vanilla MSFS. Only using Active Sky to test my aircraft in extreme conditions.
  10. Hi, no, we are LatinVFR (LVFR) and this was tried on the A330-900. I assume if reports are similar with the Fenix, that then it happens to all my other aircraft and others as well. Will try to see what can be done. In any case on our flightmodel.cfg perhaps an entry can be done? will PM
  11. Does this basically means AS can create visibility layers when outside METAR coverage area ? And not just the sim usual unlimited visibility ? If it is i might pull the trigger and purchase it.
  12. To help narrow this down, are you using any other turbulence source? FSRealistic, Realturb?
  13. Weather Mode - Live. Sim Depiction Mode - ActiveSky Preset Control
  14. It's *a lot* more standalone than P3D. Must haves, IMO: Bad2000's Addons Linker (freeware) REX's AccuSeason Advanced (payware) – controls terrain colour per season and tree colours, sizes, varieties and frequency of appearance. Floyd's epic clouds (freeware) – great for GA flying and if you don't mind not having live weather. AIG's AI traffic (freeware) – more controllable than FSLTL and less of a performance impact. KL791's Global AI shipping (GAIST) and GAIST Great Lakes (freeware). PuffinFlight's We Love VFR regions (freeware). Payware airliner: PMDG 737 (the 736 is a steal at $35), Fenix A320 (the best payware airliner I've ever used), JustFlight BAe 146 or Fokker 28 (lots of love for these older-style airliners). IMO. YMMV.
  15. Exhausted after a full day in Sydney, but enjoyed it all! 🙂
  16. Is this FENIX? Sorry I don't recognize your name but if so, nice to meet you. We had reports regarding FENIX aircraft that sounds similar to this. It is suspected to be related to our turbulence injection, and are trying to further isolate and identify. Turning the turbulence effect scale slider to zero in AS options (wind) should confirm this. If you are developer please PM me and I'd love to work with you directly for a rapid fix/compatibility establishment.
  17. Any idea on why the M500 GNS is black? Just used it the other day no issues. No busses out? Also just dropped back to non beta. same issue. It is on when Flow is stabilizing then off. Bravo avionics off.....!!!
  18. Cheers Bernd, and you're welcome. I thought this one might appeal to you. I also grabbed that 'airshow assistant' addon and plan to have a bit of a play with Horten formation flying - that should be fun! Cheers Andreas! Yep, that is definitely something special - really glad it came along. Cheers Ryan! I feel a Homer SImpson moment coming on - "mmmmmm, shiiineeeyyyyy, reddddddddd" (sounds better in my head than it looks written out <grin>)
  19. Hi, flying on active Air Effects, and encountered a significant issue flying the plane starting pitching up to a stall when I entered a storm cloud around PHNL. The plane was pitching up despite command for down, and there was no way to stop the pitch up, it eventually stalled, with or without Autopilot engaged. I noticed something smaller when flying into another sort of cloud on takeoff, the plane was pitching up when the FD was actually commanding down with autopilot on. This was on our A330-900. I am posting this because I tried the same thing with default MSFS weather and did not encounter this.
  20. Excellent question! New Zealand as a prime example...
  21. If there's no METAR data available through NOAA, it will be using GFS global forecast data (incl. wind, temp, dew, clouds, precip, convective activity and snow depth) that we analyze to create a cloud and vis scene based on skew-t-type predictions, while some other conditions (like baro pressure) use interpolation methods from data that is available. The METAR text report in conditions screen shows much of these specifics.
  22. The problem was only on AvSim but seems to have calmed down this afternoon. I did submit reports when prompted. So unusual as Firefox is very stable.
