If I am posting in the wrong place please move this. ------- Is Active Sky known to have a Christmas sale in December? If so how much is the discount? Or is it different every year (like Orbx)? Thanks.

Does anyone know if Active Sky includes sky/cloud textures? Thanks

Thanks for the reply. Weather settings: Clouds: none Temperature: 60 F Wind: 20 knots (no gusts) blowing close to perpendicular to (and towards) the mountainside (not 100% perpendicular) Other settings: Time of day: 1:50 PM Location: Valdez, Alaska It worked! I have ridge lift. I thought I had done that before, but maybe the winds were not fast enough. Anyway, thanks for the help. I will decaffeinate look into the licensed version of Cumulus X in the future if I start doing more gliding. One other question: would you know if Cumulus X has wave lift? Thanks

Ok, thanks. I thought the fact that it was not generating much lift was different from it jumping to another location, so that is why I opened a new thread. But I guess it would be ok to keep them in the same topic if they are similar.

It's not 100% working yet. Do you have any ideas on this? (Please post any replies at the link below)

I downloaded the free version of Cumulus X and am using it in P3D v4. When flying along a mountainside near Valdez, Alaska, United States, (does the location matter much?) I don't get much ridge lift. I tried this using the "Fair Weather" preset on the weather page in P3D. I can click the "Disable Lift" and "Enable Lift" buttons in Cumulus X while flying and I see some change, so I know Cumulus X is connected and working properly, but there is not a significant amount of lift. Does anyone know of there is a certain way that I need to configure the weather in P3D in order for this to generate enough lift? Am I doing it wrong or skipping a step? Thanks.

Thanks for the reply @glider1 I see what you are saying. I would have never guessed you were the same person on the A2A Forums. If I were to make any recommendation, it would be to not buy SkyForce if you are planning on that. It has a lot of missed features that REX claims to be included in "weather force" (like smooth transitions of weather instead of abrupt changes) but weather force will probably quite expensive and my recommendation to you would be if you have active sky, stay with it. If I could get a refund for SkyForce I would buy Active Sky. Let't not make this a thread about SkyForce vs. Active Sky though! Caleb

Thanks for the reply. Doing what page 31 in the manual said fixed the problem. Thanks again. Does the above quote about stratus clouds only apply to things when using AS16 or even when not using a weather addon? Also, do you know if using REX SkyForce interferes with cumulus X (as I use this instead of AS16)? Thanks

I have downloaded Cumulus X and installed it into P3D v4.2. If I start a flight without it connected it is fine, but when I connect Cumulus X to the sim, it quickly reloads the flight, and places me somewhere probably about 10 - 20 miles from where I was before. After that it will quickly (it takes about 1/2 to 1 second to load) go though the flight loading process and repeat every 20 seconds or so, nothing changing when it completes. I know Cumulus X is not officially compatible with P3D, but I have never (that I can remember) had an FSX only addon not work in P3D. I'm wondering if this is because I am trying to use it in P3D or if this is just something wrong on my end. Has anyone else tried Cumulus X in P3D? If so, does it work? Thanks in advance.

Oh dear.... That thing looks like a bubble compared to the real thing. What we need is for A2A to do one of these. http://a2asimulations.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=63472

Ok, thanks for the reply. I still don't see it but I will keep trying.

Ok. I understand now. They're the same owners. And CareBeo, I like the name. Thank you very much for the reply.

So I went to the file library, searched for "piper_pa24-400.zip" I saw it, clicked download, it asked me to log in. I forgot my account information so I clicked on the forgot account information. I got the email and went back to the library and signed in. The login worked fine, but when I go back to the library and do a search for "piper_pa24-400.zip" (it was not a typo it was copied and pasted both times) it does not find anything. Even when I signed back out it does not find it. Does anyone else find anything when searching "piper_pa24-400.zip"? Is this just me or is it everyone? This is really a mystery to me.... Thank you very much. Caleb

Thank you Charlie! It is there, I will try it in FSX and report back here. If it doesn't work it's ok because it's only freeware. I am a huge fan of the 400 (my family has one in real life) and having this plane in FS is great, no matter what quality it is. Caleb

I saw over here some Comanche 400 by Mike Dickenson was mentioned. https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/52713-piper-pa-24-400-comanche/ Does anyone know where I can download this plane? I can't find it in a Google search. Thanks

Wow. It is so low that in the second video I see water splashing up onto the windows!

Does anyone know if Alabeo and Carenado are run by the same team or how the are related? Thanks

Thanks fshobby. I saw that but I was wondering if there was another one. It seemed to be an international site so I was not sure but I guess that's the right one. Caleb

Does anyone know where I can download Cumulus X? Thanks

Those are cool takeoffs in amazing planes. Thanks for sharing. Caleb

I have the iFly GPS App on my mobile device for use in the real world, and I was wondering if anyone has any experience or knows how to connect this app to Prepar3D like you could with the Garmin Pilot app. Thanks, Caleb

I am considering a purchase of AirManager (https://www.siminnovations.com/) and it seems kind of expensive to me and I do not plan to make good use of all of its features, and I was wondering if anyone has seen or knows if AirManager ever goes on sale for a discounted price anywhere. Thanks in advance. Caleb

Ok. Thanks Charlie. The Google search did not find anything so I guess there's none. I was just posting in case someone knew of one. I will post prefixs in the future. Thanks.

Does anyone know of where I can download a freeware canoe boat for FSX/P3D so I can take it down a river? Thanks.

I saw that but I couldn't even install it! The read me did not make since and even when I followed the instructions exactly it didn't work. Thanks
