Just looking for clarification, on latest Beta should we be using Simbrief or no?

As well, what are the recommendations now with respect to download interval and smoothing rate?

Thanks!

With and without Simbrief plan resulted in a similar flight for me. As for the settings recommendations, I feel they are still in flux.

Thanks for the feedback all. We are working on finishing up some further changes to address any remaining sudden clearing/changing issues and also attempting to improve any potential "too flat bottoms" situation. New build will be coming soon.

loving your work such an amazing developer

Happy to see the Developers actively working on what has always been considered the number 1 piece of software for flight simming.

B8881 - - Fixed altitude units conversion issue when using French and some other non-English language settings in MSFS, would result in flat, ugly clouds, incorrect wind depiction, and wrong altitude in general for cloud and wind layers

good!

These clouds are patched, right?

Is it really necessary to uninstall AS completly if there is a new update? Every setting will be roll back each time

Probably not, but advice is there in case you're using an older version that needed some installation environment changes since.

If that's the case with a new BETA, then maybe you could write about it. So you don't have to force yourself to reinstall every time. You have to log in again every time, set up the settings again, etc.

Actually I am getting 79 knots headwind on FL300 nearly EDDP where Windy: Wind map & weather forecast giving me 30-40 Knots.
My Flightplan in AS also tells me 44 knots. (preset mode)
In passive mode, everything is right

Edit: Definitely something wrong here. FL200 and still 61 knots headwind near LESMO

I've also tried creating windshear and microbursts from the debug menu, they don't really seem to do anything (other than say Windshear at me a lot), not sure if that's intentional or a bug...?

That is a bug and the team is trying to fix this as soon as they can acording to my knowledge

The 8881 version is perfect, thank you!

Sorry flightplan/without flightplan not résolved as you can see below at 39".
Weather full clear then clear flight plan and reload, then fully broken sky that match reality.

Édit : check at 41 min 39 second of my video
Thanks

did you try max visibility? probably if set less than max or certain enough range, you just can not see anything till arrive in another weather condition.

Its not related, as you can see it changes suddenly when I clear flightplan.

99% but chance it's accident, and only with too much short range visibility. just probably if we got 200nm all the time. as will draw all horizon, so whatever we do it's still without jumping way. and probably need more smooth weather transfer/changing in settings. i have 1

have you seen my video ?

sure i watched the period 39-42minutes. but this no matter any more, as i land in greenland right now and after engine off weather immediately changed from few broken to overcast... and we have the same problem with metric and us system in the misc settings. this is not language problem as the guy said above. this is metric/hybrid/us system in the other part of the options. metric show normal clouds, us system show pancakes clouds. and i can not back to msfs weather, as could in 74 version and earlier. before weather hifi engine become perfect, would be cool to have option back to msfs live weather without close active sky.
thank you

but what is really the différence between loas a flight plan or not in AS, I mean it must not affect live weather during a flight from begining until the end !
