I don't who are you talking about, but in the past I bought several P3D AS versions, I found that HiFi was very supportive, but their work was mediocre from my point of view. I found the new AS for FS20 improved, but it reflects the same mediocrity of the P3D times, waiting for improvements, but waiting for FS24 above all.

When FS20 was released and for a long time the people claimed miracles about the default clouds. I know that we have just CU clouds but they are depicted in infinite ways and shapes, it's not perfect but it works well and I like it. Also, when you are in the cockpit you can't see what kind of clouds you are passing through and I find the clouds where they should be at 95% of my flights, often in a beautiful postcards landscapes.

in my device manager the wired USB keyboard and mouse has a default greyed unselected "allow the computer turn off..." option.

I'm just one of the few that likes the default typical Asobo cloud live weather, no other flight sims have a better and very extensive cloud depiction with no terrible visible or hidden transitions. I don't know what's terrible there, especially compared to the AS depiction, but to each his own.

Although the sim appears to be smoother, my problem was mainly a keyboard input lag, resolved using a wired mechanical keyboard. In my experience it seems that FS20 doen't love the wired keyboard and mouse.

Update on the keyboard lag problem: solved the problem stopping to use the wireless keyboard and mouse, now I'm using a wired mouse and a mechanical keyboard and all it works as it should: no more lags and perfect response. Generally the mechanical wired keyboards are more expensive, I bought a Logitech G413 SE, it's white backlighted, useful for night flights. It's a right compromise because FS20 does not require extremely specialized gamer keyboards.

It isn't just Cumulus clouds, the default weather depiction is varying a lot in an infinite cloud combinations and this is giving the right feeling. Regarding the so called ash clouds, they are more than acceptable for me because the clouds receive the sun light and shadows in perfect 3D logic, and they are lighter o darker depending the weather. In the real world I flew through white, yellow, grey-ash and dirty clouds, FS20 reflect this very well. Regarding AS I'll never buy it because at the moment the cloud management appears to be "flat", but above all I have bad memories about AS + ASCA + P3D, a cartoonish clouds world that I paid a lot of money. Realism here is an opinion, there isn't a flight sim that can give you the real world, but AS at the moment is several feet below the default weather depiction. Also, I don't miss the "imaginary chops" imitating casual and light turbulences, maybe AS cloud turbulences is a good feature, but it's a very expensive one.

I have heard that the cloud turbulence will be in the next FS20 update, or in FS24 at least.

Cloud turbulence will be in FS20 in the default live weather.

Regarding the problem of the Fenix screens, you can see in the attached images that in daylight if I use the sunshade, the screens become magically clearer and readable. But without sunshade the screens are dull: this is normal in daytime backlight condition, and FS20 and Fenix reflect both the reality in this way. I don't know what happens to the real A320 in the same light condition, but I see that it happens the same thing when driving my car, the screens appear dull in some backlight condition, because the not only the sun, but the sky is much more brighter than any sophisticated screen, and here we have a sort of dated and old technology screens. P.S.: taking the screenshots I pushed down the gear lever inadvertently, so the rest of my flight was f....d off.

First flight EGKK/LEBL for me this morning with the last Fenix, it works very good and the fps perfomance is excellent, better than before (3080 + FG mod, 5900x). Waiting for more updated liveries, italian ones included.

Regarding the displays readability the dev told that now they are closer to the real ones: a mid way from digital and crt quality, a bit darker if you fly daylight and a bit lower in contrast when you fly at night. Anyway no problems on my side.

No more miriad apps running in background for me, I like the default weather system, it's not perfect but it works well.

He was getting stutters, but it was a stroke. Bbb-ewar-rr-rre...

Years of drivers updates and never had a problem with all my Nvidia graphic cards. The newer Nvidia drivers have often new features and better visuals above a supposed fps improving.
