Hi, After some minor issue, the 512x512 are now at Avsim.http://library.avsim.net/search.php?Search...=root&Go=SearchThanksChris WillisHiFi Simulation Software Team Developerhttp://www.hifisim.com/images/asv_dev_team.jpg http://www.hifisim.com/images/asv_proud_supporter.jpgFreeware Addons for FSW GROUP

Having been a long time user of default weather in FS and actually thinking it quite satisfactory, I decided to try ASV after hearing only positive things (not only this version but previous ones as well). WOW, am i impressed. The amount of options and depth offered in the package is overwhelming (in a good way of course). On my last flight i spent more time outside of the cockpit than i did on the inside, which is a rare occurance. I reluctantly hopped back into the cockpit to make an approach in spectacular weather conditions. Thank you HiFi simulations for providing the community with such an immersive environment and great dedication to the project.Hats off, Francis F…

Ok, i have a question now... been looking aroundI run 3 Pc's, 6 monitors. 1st Pc, which is my main, runs fs9, 1st monitor runs cockpit, 2nd monitor runs overhead panel, throttle quadrant, fsnav, radio panel, and some other panels, depending on the aircraft i am flying.2nd PC runs Fs9 but in wideview mode. 1st monitor front left view, 2nd monitor front right view... nothing else runs on this system.3rd PC is my laptop, which runs servinfo 2.2, and on 2nd monitor hooked up to it runs meteor reports and sb3. Now also running active sky5Now, i hope I did this right. My 1st pc(main) runs widefs, as the server. The 3rd pc (laptop) runs widefs as the client. THe second pc at the…

I want to insall ASV on a laptop I use as a second computer with WideFS when flying online. I would like to know:1) Can I install ASV on both computers so I can use it on the FS computer when I am using only that computer? 2) Alternatively, do I have to uninstall AS2004.5 from the FS computer or can I use it when I am using only one computer?Peter Lowry

Hi all!I looked at simmarket.com and there i got shot my eyes:) ASV is aviable there friends.A big thank you for the great Service Damian!!!!Now the weather could come over to FS:)happy landingsChris

I believe you stated that the effects created by the Haze slider in the Environment options are only for the visibility and near the mountains if the Asv Option: Depict Fs9 Haze Layer is disabled.If having "depict FS9 haze layer" nullifies whatever I have the haze layer set to in the Environment options, I'll leave it off as I'd rather have the varying haze provided by the haze slider.So...By leaving the "depict FS9 haze layer" option on, does it completely override the choice made w/ the Haze slider?Or...Will the haze layer depicted by FS9 use the options (thickness, etc.) set by the haze slider in the ASV Environment settings?

Took this shot when reaching cruise altitude from Landvetter, Sweden a few days ago. Together with a good sky the cloud formations of AVS is nothing short of amazing:My problem now is that all around here I only find boring CAVOK:)

Made my second flight with ASV tonight and couldn't help myself from sharing this picture a couple of nm out of ESSA. Look at those beautiful clouds and how the sun behind them reflects in the water :-)http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/119672.jpg

Well I hate to say this but I am in the process of trying to recover all my stuff and I have uninstalled all my add-ons and uninstalled fs9..So I am back at the beginning trying to get caught up to about a years worth of building in one day (ugh)..I am trying to remember If I need to install just the B193 update for my B174..Or do I also need to install the MR1 update too? ActiveSky2004Update MR1 (Maintenance Release 1)Includes many fixes and enhancements to AS2004, including solving severe wind and cloud transitions. This update is recommended for all AS2004 users!Could someone please educate me... Thanks,

I just installed AS again(after a few month without fs) and it can't find FS9. I got the latest FSUIPC and I did the upgrade of AS2004. I was realy looking forward to a nice smooth transatlantic fligt with real world weather(not the FS thingy) Hope you can help meRgds,Martin

Damian,I did the install of ASV...up and running just fine...but I do have a question of how it does it. I installed ASV on a WideFS computer that never runs FS9...and the default installation placed the new ASV files into that computers installation of FS9.Immediately on starting ASV the program found my actual FS9 server computer and ported the real world weather in Florida....to that computer and 6 other server computers that run FS9 via WideView.My question is....with the large file size of ASV that contains numerous new cloud types....how the heck do those files GET to my Server and Clients via WideFS?Do I need to copy the new Texture and cloud files to the other com…

After installing ASV I notice I still have AS2004 and AS2004.5 installed. Can I safely uninstall these?Trevor :)

Hi!Ive just downloaded and installed ASV. Ive set all Settings as i need them and i must say - boaaaahhhh! Phenomenal what you did there. I use ASV over WideFS and even if i havent the 512x512 Textures yet, weahter and Environment looks absolute great. And Performance is amazing.Outstanding Job, Gratulationshappy landingsChris

Which the real importance to insert a PV and later opening the Flight? Flying in Brazil I don

I was wondering how much of an improvement the 512 X 512 cloud textures give over the default download for AS5? I think (hope!)I've got a machine that's man enough for the job (AMD 64 3500+,1G RAM, 6600GT 128MB) but I'd like to know the findings of others before I consider adding them to my hard drive.

Hi my friends of the rest of the world!At least I tried to get an explanation why many countries were not listed at PayPal. Here is the answer I just got back:" Thanks for contacting PayPal.

Hello,I would to have one question: Will be AS2004.5 available on SimMarket?I really want this superb product, but Paypal doesn't support my country, so only way how to buy it, is via SimMarket.Will be there soon? Thank you.Michal Salek.

And I have searched the various threads in the various forums, but I am still unsure about a couple of things.First off, hats off to you all for doing a tremendous job at answering the many questions, even when questions are asked that are clearly answered in the manual (like I was doing). You all are showing a very professional attitude.I have only taken a couple of short flights, and both times have been very impressed. I have noticed what seems to be an excellent depiction of the weather, way better than AS2004.5. I realize some of this may be a placebo effect, but if so, very little of it. Last flight I saw some clouds forming in the distance as I flew, and whether it…

Before I get flamed, I did read the manual but am a little confused as to what I need to do to have the current weather downloaded and using AE textures. I'm not interested in creating my own weather but want ASv to do it for me using the most appropriate textures for given current weather conditions. So in options--AE which box do I check ?:ICS + RandomICS + Last SkyAll RandomAll manual Also do I need to click/press the update buttons within the AE interface if I only want the current weather conditions?Thanks guys...good work!-Mike

First of all: Really outstanding program, and as always: superb support!My question is if you can use ASV online on IVAO? And if so, how do I configure ASV to work with IVAO?

Just curious if I have one of my settings worng because i am in cuyl and it had a reported ceing of 400 feet overcast. So i take off set my autopilot to level off at 600 feet asl (500agl). it does but i am not in the cloud yet. so i go up another 100 feet. no cloud. another 100 feet. no cloud and so on. i got up to over 1000 feet and still not in cloud. anyone know what could be wrong. thx in advance.

Hi allCongratulations on the new product, having much better framerates with it, and with the reccomended settings.Only a small question and not directly linked to ASV, I meant to ask it months ago.In the nav log it gives an average wind ie 354/34 for the inputted flightplan, is it easily possible for Mr. Average like myself, to work out what the average head/tail wind will be ie +20 or -20 as the above example 354/34 doesn't give this I don't think!Thanks in advanceGarry

Hi, I have two questions:1. When I used FS Skyworld I could choose between several times of towering-anvil clouds for thunderstorms, but now, in the Active Environment, I can't see any towering clouds, neither in FS itself, and when I set thunderstorm I can't see those vertical anvil-headed clouds. What am I missing?2. Can FS Skyworld be uninstalled without consequencies on ASV?Thank you and congratulations for ASV!

I used those in FSW in combination with AS2004.5.The allow better performance while still looking quite good.I think the gap between 256X256 to 64X64 is too big...http://online.vatsimindicators.net/825051/142.png
