Rocky_53

Ah, durgh, I guess I should have looked for that! Thanks

Thnaks. Where is the control settings file? Ah OK, that was going to be how I did things Bill. I'm just making sure I'm not missing something before I give me myself a potential headache!

There is a chance Jack, that they're having a party and they don't want any gate crashers!

I've noticed the same Jack. It's like some stairs you can walk up and others you can't. II'm guessing it's just the way the scenery has been deisgned.

I forgot to add... you simply repeat the process for the Enviro and Atmos!

I hadn't uploaded my profiles to Atmos Core. They are now available to install for you, if you wish. They are quite gentle changes, but for me I like what the app does. Basically once you're in Atmos Core, click on Weather from the bottom of the page. Then click the box at the top so it says ' Search only public sets -on. Then type in Rocky in the search bar at the top. You should then see my weather profile. Click on it and it will load, then give it a name and simply save. I suggest you try different profiles, but TBH I find so many of them 'over done' but it does give you a starting place. Cheers.

Give me a couple of hours and I'll get back to you shortly

I downloaded Easysim Pilot(?) profiles. I had to tweak the enviro profile, as I found it a little too warm, but it was a good starting place. I tweaked 'atmos' a little and reduced the clouds in 'weather,' which I find overly dark on occasions. Using these three tweaks, I am really enjoying the look of 2024. As was said earlier, the tweaks I have made are very nuanced and have simply added the realism and not made it look like some overly tweaked cinematic film fest!

Can anyone tell me if AS is compatible with REX Atmos? The reason I ask, is that REX Atmos, for me anyway, has made the sim look absolutely gorgeous, so I hope the answer is yes.

My bad... (as the kids say!) I flew the 738 in rain only sometime ago and could swear blind there was no clearing of raindrops. I just took a look earlier, and yes, you're right, but to be fair, the animation is not as convincing as it has been in previous sims, ie P3d. But it's certainly a step up from not having it at all.

ha ha, yes Bob, I need to update my profile pic me finks!

Can anyone tell me why it's so difficult for Asobo not to have proper windscreen effects ie. raindrops not being cleared with the wiper blades in PMDG 737? (don't know about other AC) Is it something to do with the SDK? Is it a PMDG issue? It has been reported for years now, back in 2020 too, still nothing is resolved. I seem to remember them saying, unless I'm mistaken, many SUs back that they were going to sort it out, but here we are and still don't have it. Now, call me an old cynic, but I have come to fathom out a tactic, not necessarily with Asobo or MS, but.... I believe certain things are left untouched so that they can mend it in a new product version, that way it's a great incentive for customers to buy into the new platform. I've seen it in mobile phones, cameras and in particular, DJI drones. You can call me an old cynic if you like.

Absolutely

You are 100% correct.

I think the issue with AI, is that far too many people simply think it's always correct, I have had many suggesitons, tips, information that have been simply wrong. Often, a long way off being correct. As for this AI tool, out of curiosity I downloaded it and let it run it's course and then followed the suggestions it made. But TBH, I have been more than happy with how 24 has been running. It hasn't offered me anything I didn't already have. I suppose it's a brilliant tool for those who are not quite so experienced with simming as many of us are. It suggested a couple of things which actually made the shadows look worse, so I returned to my own settings. As for my cynic head and grumpy old man face, I do get rather tired of this notion that AI is the future and it's the 'way forward' blah blah. It's not the case and never will be IMO. Yes, it's going to change the world massively, this is without a doubt, but we really need to get a grip on things and not simply assume that because we're being told it's the future, that we just throw our hands up and follow 'the emperor's clothes.' (“Emperor’s new clothes” means people pretend something is good or true when it clearly isn’t, because they’re afraid to speak honestly or look foolish.)
