what would happen, if you cross the border to china? would you automatically change to metric system and climb to, e.g. FL331 from FL330 and adjust all future step climbs, i.e. instead of FL350 to the next approriate metric counterpart? It's very interesting to hear how different certain airspaces in different countries are operated, thanks Rob! Dominik Teda

Thank you very much guys, it is always amazing that one always learn something new! much appreciated. Dominik Teda

Thanks Kyle, that was very informative. So i guess the FL in the OFP is rather discretionary than obligatory in most cases (except for certain regions like north atlantic). Dominik Teda

hello everyone, i recently watched the justplanes video Air Canada flight from vancouver to sydney and i realized that the flightcrew entered step climbs into the flightplan (in the fmc) manually at certain waypoints via a command (e.g. 350/S). My questions are now the following: When do you "hardcode" the flightlevel change into the flightplan instead of climbing when the fmc wants you to, i.e. when reaching the s/c point? Is it due to some restrictions along an airway or due to the reason they were flying over the pacific? If the second question is not the case, wouldn't it be more fuel efficient to just climb when the aircraft says so instead of climbing at particular waypoints along the route? I'm just curious :ph34r: and would be thankful if somebody could give me an answer (which is understandable for a not-real-life-pilot :unsure: ). Bes regards Dominik

As far as i know, both programs together might cause conflicts but i am not entirely sure about it. If you are happy with ASN, then it would be more reasonable to buy EZCA. However, the opus camera itself is much more superior in terms of realism. While EZCA supplies "random" movement to indicate all the shaking etc. which might happen during all phases of flight, they are entirely unrealistic and do not fit well in order to simulate turbulence effects. If you just want a camera in order to comfortably change your views and move around, EZCA is totally sufficient and will most like work better together with ASN. If i were in your position, i would buy EZCA. Dominik

Perhaps you are confusing the Opus weather map with the PMDG weather radar however, glad to hear all the positive comments concerning that big bird, gonna get it too soon. Dominik

Weather radar working with Opus? Could you clarify, i thought it only works with ASN :huh: Dominik

is the trim within the green band? I encountered a similar message on rwy line-up. I found out that my trim was not within the green band. Dominik

And I have to disagree with you on that :P . In my eyes, OPUS is the most superior product. Stephen's innovative approach was it, which lay the foundation of current weather programs and I think he will still be one step ahead of them all B) . Just hope, he soon focuses on finding a way of making the triple seven's weather radar and his program work together. Dominik

What an outstanding feature! Dominik

I solved my crashes by adding 0.05v to my cpu voltage. It worked like a dime whereas every other fix did not. Whether the .dll file, nor setting cpu back to default etc.. it was just the cpu which somehow needed more juice

Thanks for the explanation! I am relieved that one can change the time compression manually, i feared that i had no option to manually choose the max amount of time acceleration. Very neat feature, cleverly implemented and very very useful for people like me who would like to do mid- to long hauls but have not enough time. Thanks Mike and enjoy the beta phase!

Excuse me guys, i havent fully understood the mechanism of this feature? Does, after i right click on the chrono, the acceleration start automatically or do i have to manually accelerate time via FSX top menu? And is it possible to alter the max amount of acceleration? Some weather engines do not like time acceleration thanks for clarifying! what a tremendous idea that is! Dominik

Hello, i am quite confused about the turbulences from OpusFSX. Are they "fake" or are the induced by the weather generated by OpusFSX? What i mean is, besides the head-movement, is the aircraft really experiencing the turbulences? Perhaps to make it clear, i dont own OpusFSX yet, i own ASE and with ASE the aircraft "really" reacts to, for exampale down- or updrafts or cloud turbulences. For me it wouldn't make much sense to buy a new weather-engine which exclusively "shows" the weather but does not create the "causes" like the above stated turbulences. i hope someone can clarify what i can expect from this program concerning the "accuracy" of the turbulences and whether it is just "head bouncing" or real behavior of the aircraft. thank you in advance

As far as i know, Singapore airlines used or still uses B772 for flights from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur which is also a very short hop...

Hi Damian, well, i understood the effect of this Option differently. I thought this option helps you receiving the right winds for your arrival airpot by locking the winds in the closer proximity of your arrival airport, hence enabling you to plan in advance on which RWY you will eventually land. However i haven´t found a notification that it will simply overwrite ALL winds, including the winds aloft of every waypoint of the route you insert in the flightplan page within ASE.Since i thought this option will give me the advantage of predicting the right RWY, because it locks it at my arrival airport, i actived it without knowing that i will have to pay for this advantage in terms of losing all my winds aloft. This has lead me to wrong fuel predictions and ETEs because ASE tells me for example the average winds en route will be 234/56 but infact, because of the winds lock options it is 054/15 :-/ Furthermore, your great support team has searched my .cfg files for errors which simply did not exist :-P because of the wrong winds aloft which were created from the winds lock option.. Long story short, it might be an idea to state explicity that behaviour in the describtion of this option, because right now, it simply says "...it locks winds at arrival airport..." This might lead to wrong conclusions.However, that´s just an idea :-) RegardsDominik

hello everyone, a few days ago i had very big problems concerning winds aloft beeing absolutely incorrect during my short haul flights in europe and america. Winds were always incorrect and most of the time in the opposite direction although the downloaded data from ASE was correct. the first conclusion was that the SimConnection was broken or damaged. Now i found the real answer. The problem is the Option: ATC Wind Lock. During short haul trips, this option, due to the fact that departe and destionation airport are so close, overwrites ALL wind aloft datas and inserts the winds of the departure airport all the way down to the arrival airport, where in the worst case it suddenly changes again to arrival airport weather. So, my suggestion is the following: Do NOT activate ATC Wind Lock option during short haul trips as all wind aloft datas will be overwritten with incorrect wind directions and speeds. I don´t know in how far wind alofts are influenced in long haul flights but all my problems were INSTANTLY solved by deactivating this option, even while flying! I saw with my very own eyes how within minutes the winds aloft became accurate again, as downloaded and presented in the flight plan page in ASE. best regards Dominik

Thanks a lot Damian, i will do that as soon as i get back to my FSX computer.

How did that happen that SimConnect suddenly refuses to work? I used ASE since it was released and never had any problems despite the S-Turn issue and now it is broken?

Jim, where do i find the SommConnectLog file? When i browse to my ASE folder there is no SimConnectLog file. There is only the SimConnectFiles folder and within is a restoral.bin, SimConnect.cfg and SimConnect.xml.

Hello everyone, i commenced a flight from EDDF to LOWW. I put the flightplan into ASE in the briefin section and received my average winds, which were to be 254/37. Each wind aloft at FL350 at each waypoint were somewhere between that average and ALL should come from the west, i.e. somewhere between 250-290. Well, sometime after initial climbout i had absolutey no winds at all, although in Frankfurt, weather was quite rough... later on, i had "some" winds but coming ALL from the east, most of the time from heading of 035 to 044 instead from the west. It was nearly the exact opposite direction?!?! Furthermore, sometimes weather was absolutely clear, as if i had no ASE active. I had a visibility to infinity instead of the limit set via ASE. Then again, i had some clouds but only a few cumulus instead of at least scattered clouds... in europe, especially in germany it is currently raining and extremely cloudy but ASE tells me we have a beautiful sunny weather with clear skys all down to Austria, Vienna. Well, something must have gone terribly wrong as this weather depiction is far from reliable and shows the exact opposite of what should be depicted. Here are some information you might find usefull: ASE settings: Force Destination Wx Zone => ActiveForce ATC Wind Lock => ActiveForce High Priority Processes => ActiveAutomatic Downloads => ActiveDownload Interval: 30 MinutesDepiction Mode: Smooth Cloud TransitionsDepict Hurricanes (FSX) => ActiveCreate Additional Stations (FSX) => ActiveEnhance Route Coverage (FSX) => ActiveDynamic Rate of Change: 5%Fog Layer Generation => ActiveDisable Haze Layer => ActiveMinimum Surface Visiblity : 0 SMMax. Surface Visibility : 100 SMMax. Upper Visiblity : 65 SM I use Windows XP SP3Registered Version of FSUIPC with wind smoothing of 3sec./ per heading changei used the PMDG 738 NGX for this flight, no S-Turn issues so far, except with DWC which i never use due to bad results in general.ASE Build 647. If you need any addition information please let me know.I hope you can help me RegardsConchi

Will the aircraft still react to turblunences and thermal effects anymore after you disable this setting? It would be quite unrealistic if you have to disable every turbulence in order to make the aircraft fly straight... Dominik

Ah well, than i'm reliefed, haha... already thought i installed the limiter the wrong way.... Dominik
