HiFi Technologiesより、Active Sky Next SP1のBeta2(Build 5354)がリリースされた。
今回のリリースでは、Beta1同様にPrepar3D v2.3で起動できなかった問題が改善されている。
それ以外にも多くの改善点があるが、まだ正式版ではないためFSXやv2.3以前のPrepar3Dで利用している人達は、安定している現在のものを利用するのが良いだろう。
新機能が多くあるが、前回のBeta1からの変更点は下記の通りとなる。
2週間で多くの修正がなされている。
Beta 1 -> Beta 2 changelog:
- Improved handling of unspecified clouds for complete data weather (previously it might prevent additional clouds to come up)
- Fixed Constant cloud shifts / auto load with PMDG 777 related to alternate waypoints
- Fixed an issue where gust induced turbulence would not come up
- Fixed a crash when building the voice script in some cases
- Fixed an issue with winds inaccuracy if more than one station was closer than 10 miles from the current position — Now it checks the closest one if is less than 10 miles
- Added OTHH to airport database (must reset to defaults using Edit Station Database tool to see this change)
- Fixed issue where ASconnect module would crash (and «there is a a problem with this module» message from FSX) if user has no write access to program files/fsx/p3d folder
- Fixed grammatical error in «unable to install asconnect, please manually install» message
- Fixed problem in International Sigmet lat/lon parsing where incorrectly formatted longitudes with a missing leading 0 could result in improper longitude values and invalid sigmet area depicted
- Fixed problem in Wx Request Menu Winds Aloft Report where winds could be incorrectly formatted when surface elevation > 1500ft, and wind altitude levels below surface elevation might be shown in high elevation areas
- Adjusted thunderstorm depiction to improve quantity of high calvus-type CB layers vs smaller cumulus layers
- Changed default maximum upper visibility to 100 miles (vs 59) to reduce «clouds popping in distance» effect that can occur with lower visibility ranges
- Added new feature/option «Enhanced haze simulation» which provides for a haze layer effect when no other clouds are present, and visibility is marginal (between 3 and 9SM). Default off. See user guide for more information.
- Fixed problem in International Sigmet lat/lon parsing where incorrectly formatted longitudes with a missing leading 0 could result in improper longitude values and invalid sigmet area depicted
- Adjusted visibility calculations with «Auto Adjust Upper Visibilty» feature to prevent extremely low visibilities at altitude even when user has set maximum surface visibility to extremely low values
- Adjusted visibility calculations with «Auto Adjust Upper Visibility» to increase visibility substantially when at high altitudes, especially above 40,000ft, regardless of stability/seasonal computations
- Resolved DNS issue which could result in failed activation or pirep downloads/posts
- Changed default option for Enhanced turbulence to Off vs. On (as the effect of rotational commands may cause control lag issues on various aircraft especially light airplanes and helicopters)
