I tried using Active Sky Passive with the new Atmosphere Mod and it seemed to work OK. The effects of the Mod are pretty amazing including adding wing fade finally. Then I tried using Active Sky Preset Mode. I was flying during a strong front in the KPDX area, and with Passive mode there were multiple cloud layers and lots of cumulus and dark clouds at different levels, and rain when penetrating the clouds at lower altitudes. With preset mode, there was just a stratus like undercast and clear skies above and no rain in the clouds. As I flew along the stratus cloud tops kept lowering,so I never really got into them to see if it would rain. Not sure which is actually more accurate. But the Preset depiction mirrored what the cloud description ASFS was describing. I could not tell if any of the effects of Atmosphere Mod were employed in the preset mode.
Just curious.
