Maybe it‘s something else needed, flightnumber, departure runway in the LEGS page or something like that. No landing calculation isn‘t included (yet).

I can only tell you what I do: I only calculate performance when I entered at least the RTE page in the FMC (origin and destination airport), usually by uploading the flightplan from Simbrief. When I then turn to the EFB, the airport is already prefilled. I suppose it takes it right from the departure airport field in the FMC. So enter that first in the FMC and try again. By the way: I think the "copy FMC" button copies the performance data TO the FMC by the way.

I've said it often, and I'll say it again: There's a reason that it took P2ATC 10 years to get vectoring really right. And it is - as of now - the only ATC in flightsim history that has accomplished that. When i read the posts on the SI discord that vectoring will be "fixed by tomorrow", I can only sit back and smile. Neither SI nor BATC seems to have any idea about how hard this is going to be and how long this will take (years). And that is only for *your* aircraft! Now imagine doing vectoring for AI aircraft too, and keeping separation etc. at the same time! I've heard FSHud has started trying this and again, I can only sit back and smile. They also have no idea what they took upon them.

24h is pretty good if it's about having the right weather for the time of day of your flight whereever you fly. That said I wonder how they'll manage to do this with their global weather model with cloud formations and stuff. Also would be great to have something else than 24 hours of cumulus clouds 😄

What happened?

I guess no one can complain anymore about flat clouds, especially CU clouds look massive now.

I mean, they also did KBOS… which is looking and performing excellantly with the FlyTampa version. That makes even less sense.

Never buy FeelThere. Never.

Right now at FL300 the "conditions" page says: SCT012 extends to:4964 feet (Cloud type:ST, Turbulence:Severe, Icing:Moderate, Shear:Steep, Cloud shape:Flat). BKN022CB extends to:43461 feet (Cloud type:CB, Turbulence:Severe, Icing:Moderate, Shear:Steep, Cloud shape:Round). I can also see those 2 cloud layers.

Oh, sorry for the misinformation in that case. You might check flightradar24 for the airlines going into ENGM instead. And no, Dynamic FPs get installed automatically if you install the appropriate GA "airlines" (which are not airlines in this case).

Yes, all that have flightplans for that airport (i.e. that go to this airport or from this airport at least once in a week).

1) If you mean GA = biz jets: Yes, for a long time. If you mean GA = light props etc.: Yes, those have recently and are still being added with the new "Dynamic flightplans". They will grow over time. 2) As for airlines in Norway: Not sure if google can help you out here, but you can search for an airport in AIG Manager via the ICAO code and see what airlines have flightplans going there and then download those. Start with the biggest airport (ENGM, ENBR etc.) and go from there until you're happy. You probably even get 95% by only downloading those at ENGM. 3) As for Europe: No idea, I've downloaded every single airline in AIG and am fine for whereever I fly now. Not sure if that affects startup times. Not a big problem for me anyway. Much better than manually downloading every time I fly in a different place.

Fair enought, but since you bought it, at least use the passive depiction mode and enjoy the awesome turbulence stuff!

That's disgusting.

I don't know, check the maintanence menu in the MCDU.

It's fairly easy: If it's something you need to react to, it will show the steps on the ECAM. If it's not, it's just an information / something you cannot "solve". "RAT out" means you accidentally deployed the Ram Air Turbine. There's nothing you can do about it, because it can only be stowed on the ground by maintenance. That's why there's also nothing in the QRH.

I think a common misconception is that AS only creates flat clouds. It doesn't. It creates different types and variations of clouds, some will be flat, some will be like MSFS default volcanic ash clouds. It's interpretated from the data AS uses.

If LNM has this option, why wouldn't it be usable? Basically any other addon can read a .txt file that is regularly updated by ActiveSky with the (live or historical) weather data it uses.

Nevermind, too stupid to read. Not my best weekend.

Having the exact same amount of AI aircraft injected? Otherwise it's a moot comparison, like comparing performance in NYC with performance in Central Idaho.

Well the big thing was actually having live weather by default in the first place. I get your point, but in the end it's about the complete package: Depending on what matters to you, ActiveSky does so many things so much better than default MSFS, that it might be worth missing out on visible distant weather fronts with default for what you get with ActiveSky. That's ultimately down to personal preference.

It's just another type of cloud. MSFS default always generates CU clouds (AKA volcanic ash), which - also in real life - are less flat and more expressively textured. MSFS default however does not create stratus clouds, which are more flat and look rather boring compared to CU clouds. AS can do both types of clouds and will do both types, depending on other factors. So it's not like AS "degrades" cloud quality (see the picture of the thunderstorm at Singapore depicted by AS, these clouds are massive CU clouds with heavy texturing; the pic is in the other thread about AS), it just makes clouds look more realistic by also offering the "boring" types together with the more exciting ones. Another example would be Cirrus clouds - MSFS does not do them at all, AS does.

You got me 😄 It's a late saturday evening here, I should probably go to bed before embarassing myself any further.

Most users are probably using active depiction mode for the moment and can't answer the question for the passive mode.

That's probably the best explanation of why historical weather is needed that I've ever come across. I never found the right words for what you just perfectly phrased.
