P3Dv5.2 and AS 7829

[BAWV12]

Some screenshots from brand new P3Dv5.2 and AS7829 :
First testflight with active EA and legacy clouds (because new volumetric clouds are still unusable) - extreme strong horizon haze :

... solved with Upper visibility limit set to 200 miles :

Another flights - I dedusted my Boeing skills - PMDG737-800 NGXu ver.830 (FSL A320 v160 is not compatible with v5.2) :

As You can see, VRAM usage was heavy optimized, I can use texture resolution 2048x2048 in combination with high LOD range and hi-res terrain textures on 6GB GTX 1060.

v5.2 EA and legacy clouds are amazing.

How to use EA and custom clouds at the same time? I only have volum. clouds when EA is on. Thank you.

By setting volum clouds to zero.

Thank U much!

Set Upper visibility limit to 200 miles to avoid strong white haze on the horizon.

Set Upper visibility limit to 200 miles to avoid strong white haze on the horizon.

My upper visibility was already set to 200 miles yet I have getting a solid white horizon line. I was glad to see this post after I first noticed the problem but I have no idea how to fix it. Its putting me off the sim as looks horrible

Hi, sorry if I ask you, but what is "AS7829"? I only have P3Dv5.1 and ASP3D.

 

[BAWV12]

AS7829 - this is release version of the ActiveSky. You can find it in upper left corner :

 

[Freccia]

Thanks @BAWV12 , my version is 7681

 

[BAWV12]

With P3Dv5.1, it is OK. But for v5.2 You need 7829.

 

[BAWV12]

This is speedrun from VNKT to VQPR with historic weather 2021-05-07 0500Z. I used volumetric clouds and AS7829 ofcourse. As You can see, clouds are bit nicer than in v5.1, but there are many glitches when clouds eats mountains This is reason, why volume clouds are for me still unusable.

My Bus is back from D-check, first flight from SKMD to SKPS :

with the B7829 and P3Dv5.2 did you go through turbulence ?
Is that properly simulated yet

 

[BAWV12]

Yes, I did. Strong up and downdraft, shaking and vibrations. IMHO simulation is OK.

 

[kylep]

can tell me what settings you use then or any buttons you clicked?

im not experiencing any turbulence on my end I flew throug red area on my radar was smooth so I know something is wrong.

Yes, I did. Strong up and downdraft, shaking and vibrations. IMHO simulation is OK.

 

[BAWV12]

Turbulences are depicted with purple color on the WX radar. I used only one button - disconnect AP and fly manualy avoid all CB clouds

 

[kylep]

Ok let me ask this. On your P3d menu settings is your turbulence and thermals checked or unchecked ?

 

[BAWV12]

Yes, I have :
- Turbulence and thermal effects - CHECK
- Thermal visualization - NATURAL
