Using the new radar system will be key to safe piloting in the vicinity of these storms.įull International Airmet/Sigmet simulation is now provided in real time weather mode, with airmet/sigmet areas shown visually on the map and/or gauge. Completely new microburst, updraft and downdraft, enhanced turbulence and wind-shear effects combine to make thunderstorms beautiful yet dangerous. Thunderstorms have been given great attention, utilizing the new depiction system, ambient effects, radar and cloud position synchronization.

The exact position of clouds and precipitation cells are always synchronized between the simulator depiction and the radar display. Entering or exiting a cloud brings an appropriate change in precipitation, visibility and turbulence. Precipitation is accurately depicted in the proper locations within and below appropriate cloud structures. You can have it all, all the time.ĪSN also introduces, for the first time ever in a weather engine: Complete cloud position awareness, synchronized cloud-based ambient weather effects and an integrated accurate radar simulation. No longer must you configure complicated settings to achieve accuracy in certain areas while compromising others. With ASN, your skies will be accurate, smooth, visually stunning and uncompromised. Using new low-level weather control techniques, the new depiction system eliminates many problems faced in the past, including inaccurate cloud locations, inaccurate coverage, thin overcast and excessive coverage gaps, non-smooth cloud transitions, inaccurate winds, and required compromises in depiction settings.
In development for 3 years, this new version of Active Sky has a completely new depiction system to enable enhanced visuals, accuracy and smoothness never before possible. New installation and configuration routines provide a smoother user experienceĪctive Sky Next (ASN) is the next weather simulation engine from HiFi Technologies, Inc. New Dynamic Positional Variation for Sigmets and AirmetsĪirmets and Sigmets are now fully dynamic and provide variable conditions simulation for turbulence and icing in addition to convective activity.Receive weather updates for local area, flight-plan stations, and winds aloft via an integrated SimConnect text menu that can be used directly within the simulatorĪSN for P3D is now compatible with P3D v2.4 and includes additional performance tuning specific to P3D Utilizing the new data resolution and coverage, oceanic and sparse-coverage flights now include realistic weather conditions and cloud coverage that does not rely solely on interpolationĪ new local cloud detection process greatly improves the synchronization of cloud-based effects including visibility reduction and turbulence Improved Oceanic and Sparse-Coverage Weather Accuracy and Variation.New cloud depiction techniques, new storm depiction variations, and improved smooth theme reloading brings new levels of performance with reduced cloud-drawing overheadĮnhanced global gridded weather data synthesis provides new kinds of data and over 10 times the previous resolution, offering much improved realism and coverage for all kinds of conditions in all areas, regardless of availability of METAR reports Service Pack 1 Now Released Officially for P3DĪctive Sky Next has just been upgraded officially to SP1 and brings dozens of new features, improvements and adjustments to raise the bar even further in high fidelity weather simulation for Prepar3D v2.4:
