AS16

Visibility Improvements, EfXXXts Improvements, New API Features and More!
Redesigned P3D visibility depiction was overall a great improvement to debut in AS16, but many users had different needs and expectations, and asked us for enhancements in several key areas including elimination of excessive haze at the horizon, elimination of occasional sudden visibility shifts around 10,000ft, and better restricted visibility depiction, both surface and aloft, without harsh lines in certain scenarios. We’ve reworked the visibility depiction again, and significantly improve these areas (and several others) with SP1.  Cloud motion efXXXt detection/synchronization and general speed sensation and particle efXXXt placement was another area our users asked us to work on, and we have spent considerable time improving this for SP1.

Beyond the visibility and efXXXts improvements, there are also new user options, improved turbulence efXXXts, jet-stream and boundary-layer turbulence efXXXts, general depiction and interpolation improvements, and hundreds of minor fixes and adjustments in effort to make AS16 even better.

Finally, many new API functions and capabilities have been added, enabling all kinds of developers to tightly integrate with Active Sky technology in all aspects including getting and setting weather, controlling weather modes and more.

ASCA

New Cloud Textures, Cirrus Clouds, and Sky Colors
You asked, we listened!  6 new soft-style cloud texture sets, 7 new hyper-natural sky color sets with improved high-altitude saturation, vibrance and brightness graduation, a new cirrus cloud set, reworked and improved original cloud sets and sky color textures, remapping of all asXXXiations and definitions, new UI-based weather influenced configuration, and a new Art Tools API are just a few things that have been added in ASCA SP1.  Improved overall resolution, better dynamics, new geographic selection influence, and more user options are also included.

You can now create your own custom content and make it ASCA and AS16 compatible with full dynamics capability, with just a few clicks of the mouse – enjoying full weather and geographic profile selection influence.  Currently, Sky Color textures are supported, and more categories are planned to be added soon.

We hope you’ll agree that ASCA SP1 is a major step forward in the ongoing effort to provide the most realistic and dynamic weather visual experience possible.
