Hello everyone,

We have just officially released B8927, our biggest update yet!

Now, we are moving our focus onto our next big update which is currently planned as "Service Update 1".

Some of the things we’re working on:

(Not a complete list! This is just a small preview)
  • Networked configuration support (having ASFS client and MSFS on different computers on the same network)
  • Improved blending of GFS/grib cloud model data and METAR data for more accurate cloud conditions worldwide regardless of METAR vertical cloud detection limitations (such as in Europe which generally only measure up to 5000ft)
  • Improved resolution (temporal and spatial) of specific flight-plan-based area weather data, especially METAR and snow depth data
  • Improved terrain awareness and terrain-based wind/draft/turbulence effects
  • Improvement of wind shear and microburst effects, as well as the ws/mb test buttons
  • Apply button for historical weather date/time applications
  • Improved visibility depiction for mid-level visibility conditions, currently resulting in excessive bloom/humidity conditions in some cases when vis is between about 5 and 20SM
  • Detection/warning when incompatible add-ons are detected with instructions on how to properly disable and uninstall such add-ons
  • Improved cloud smoothing logic for reduced unexpected higher or lower transition rates in some cases
We sincerely appreciate all the great feedback and suggestions, and will be working hard to implement as many of those as we can including several items that are not listed above. After all, we have to leave a few surprises! We are very excited to bring this next update out, and continue our journey improving ASFS based on your feedback.

Thank you!!!

Looking forward to this, i personally don't use active mode as i want multiple weather fronts in each direction.
But the passive mode is just amazing.

Okay, some topics are already mentioned. My specific wish would be having more than just one wx distribution path for all PMDG birds (in my case the B737 and (new in my hangar) the B77W. I own just two different types, but I saw i related fora some people using the whole B737 family (3 different entries in "...\LocalState\packages\..." just for this one :eek:).
It should be even possible detecting the necessary path automatically as the active bird is not hidden by ASOBO's limitations.

We are in need of a weather radar so bad. Actually thats the reason i bought AS, since it had this functionality in other sims (although i knew it wasn't implemented at that time). If theres any chance to get a weather radar, that would incredibly, since its such a key part of operating an airliner!
