Thanks but I have the latest drivers. So if you turn on autogen shadows they look perfectly normal while flying? I believe I had FXAA on along with MSAA (I just cranked everything up) so I will try it with just MSAA.

Does anyone get trees and buildings casting shadows that seem to shimmer or flicker? Pretty much anything small that casts a shadow. The shadows just don't look static. Cloud shadows don't exhibit this. I am thinking maybe it is just in need of some antialiasing. I am not using NV Inspector, just the in game options. I just want to make sure it isn't something with my system (I just bought P3Dv2 the other day). I have all the shadow options checked. Thanks, MikeD

How do I implement this SID in AISIDSTAR? Do I need to create custom waypoints to follow? How does AISIDSTAR interpret "VECTORS"? SIDS SID CYTZ8 RNW 08 FIX OVERFLY ITZ02 HDG 141 VECTORS RNW 15 HDG 151 UNTIL 650 HDG 201 VECTORS RNW 24 HDG 241 UNTIL 650 HDG 201 VECTORS RNW 26 HDG 262 UNTIL 650 HDG 201 VECTORS ENDSIDS

How high should I set my boat traffic %? It says more than 5% in the documentation but I would like to know how high do I set it to get all his ship traffic to show? I tried decompiling the flight plans but got errors. Edit: I was able to decompile one and I believe they are all set at 5%.

CATIII approaches do not have decision heights. As far as I know they are autolands and CATIIIC do not have minimums associated with them.

Great video. Did you do anything special to get the AI landing lights not to look like huge blobs?

I believe SuperTrafficBoard will do that.

Anyone else been able to get PTT to work with a CH yoke? vPilot doesn't recognize buttons on my yoke.

They are working on that.

Thanks for updating these F++. I have also noticed that the FO cannot turn off yaw damper.

Guys, just accept that P3D will never get better. According to WarpD our computers will never be powerful enough for any new features, and LM aren't capable of improving the engine because everything is impossible to do, disregarding them moving FSX from DX9 to DX11.

Doh, I was modifying the wrong ones! Thanks again!

So I have replaced the default after landing flow with a modified one. Yet for some really strange reason he keeps performing the old one. Any ideas? This is the one I made: [OPTIONS] Suspend=0 Verbose=1 RequireConfirmation=0 [REPLIES] Reply1=ok i perform the after landing flow [COMPLETED] Completed1=after landing flow complete [sCRIPT] weather radar off pause=2 right mfd to system mfd show electrical pause=2 retract flaps pause=4 engage control lock pause=2 fuel pump tank one off fuel pump tank two off pause=3 yaw damper off pause=2 bleed mode to normal pause=3 main bus tie on airframe de-icing mode off pause=2 propeller de-icing off engine anti-ice off pause=2 start apu pause=10 Yet he starts off by messing with the lights so he is definitely doing something different. This is the folder I am using: Multi Crew Experience\Support\Files\VoiceScripts\Copilot\Aircraft\mjc8q400

I had this same problem and it was a missing fx_smoke.bmp in my Effects/texture I believe.

I wonder if that was unique views or total views. And over what time period? Were most of those when this thread was created?

This is 99% some sort of scam or joke.

There is another product called Universim: http://theuniversim.com/

Wait, they are going to have a beta in the summer, yet no code has been written yet?

Thanks. I get it now.

I have, but OP was asking about the product and so I thought he should know some of its limitations that I have experienced.

Nope. It is the same for every airport in Canada. And it seems to be the case with every airport that reports its weather on the hour. So BIRK exhibits the same problems as well.

Yes, I think you are correct. This whole time ASN has just been missing the metars which is why I fall 2 hours behind. I will report this. Edit: Never mind. If I go to 2210z on April 26th I get wx for 2100z at all Canadian airports. Yet if I choose 1310z I get wx for 1300z. So bizarre. And just to give an example to how bad 1 metar per hour is: SA 27/04/2014 07:00-> METAR CYYG 270700Z 33004KT 15SM OVC021 01/M01 A2983 RMK SC8 SLP105= SP 27/04/2014 07:22-> SPECI CYYG 270722Z 34005KT 10SM -DZ OVC016 01/M01 A2983 RMK ST8 SLP102= SP 27/04/2014 07:36-> SPECI CYYG 270736Z 34004KT 2 1/2SM -DZ BR FEW009 OVC017 01/M00 A2982 RMK SF2ST6 SLP101= SP 27/04/2014 07:50-> SPECI CYYG 270750Z 34005KT 2 1/2SM -DZ BR BKN005 OVC010 01/00 A2982 RMK SF5ST3 SLP100= The weather goes from 15SM to 2.5SM in the course of one hour. In historical metar in ASN, the weather will be 2.5SM for the entire hour since it only archives the last issued metar for the hour. Considering they archive world wide metar from all the way back to 2009, there is no reason they can't just archive all metar but just for the past couple of years. How many people are going to go back to 2010 and demand real world weather?

So if I set the time to 1855 April 26th, and I get weather for 1700, that's perfectly normal? I think I know what it is though. ASN is just missing certain metars. That is why I don't get weather for 1800.

Having more than one metar reported per hour is completely normal. I know that at EGLL it is reported every 30 minutes. In Canada we have SPECI reports that happen when there is a weather change between hourly reports. Weather can change quickly. It can go from below minimums to above minimums to below minimums in 15 minutes. Not having that happen when using historical weather is just dumb. I ask for weather updates every 5 minutes. Explain this to me: https://www.dropbox.com/s/3mwxeejxbntuwcv/asnwx.png That is ASN updating the weather 2 hours after the current metar is reported. And you know what? It is updating the metar to the one from an hour ago. I am pretty much always at least one hour behind when using historical metar. Please explain that to me. What am I doing wrong? Nothing, ASN is just borked. I don't run at 128x speed ever or even 2x speed. Next time you fly, and if you make 1 hour+ flights, look at the currently loaded metar. It will be at least an hour behind. Do this right now. Go into ASN and set weather date and time to 26th of April 1557z and look at the weather at CYYZ. I am getting last report at 1400z.

I am talking about Historic metar, not live Wx. ASN only archives one METAR per weather station per hour. And if you set the historic weather time to 2100 and it downloads a metar from 2100 it will only update to 2200 at 2300. I have tested it many times and this is how historic metar in ASN behaves. You are pretty much always 1 to 2 hours behind the correct weather. If you want to test this just go to say CYYZ and set the sim time to 1200z and in ASN choose "lock historical time to sim time" and then go to 128x game speed setting and look at the currently loaded metar. I guarantee it will not go to 1300 until 1400.
