Active Sky 6 Released

[Mobayrasta1]

WOOT!   Free upgrade for all of us who have all ready bought it. Really can't see to much of a diffrence yet. Have not flown except a couple of minutes. Does not really look like they changed to much in the texture options but the new configurator is top notch!

Activesky...... I had there weather only thing and it... ugh Screwed up, wasnt exactly acurate all the time, and it also did this too Gunnerman as well, in the end we ditched it.... Cheers, Gunny (Uses Flight environment with FS Atmosphere)

EDIT:By screw up I mean it didnt load weather half the time, be blank skys, then maybe in 20 mins be a cloudy day, then be clear etc, I'd gladly reinstall if It worked, any fixes for this?

Gunny increase the online update time and turn off all of the weather smoothing options. The reason it would suddenly turn cloudy and such is by default there is weather supression turned on below a certain amount of feet. I also don't use the texture configurator very much but I llike some of their sun textures and I like their replacement moon. (I believe most of it is the same as FSSKYWORLD). The one thing I do like is you can replace just one texture instead of a whole theme in Flight Enviroment.

Here is my routine for changing textures. First I load up Activesky and pick the few textures I like and install them(moon). Then I do FE, letting it put all of its clouds and sky  and water textures and then I run the installer for FSAtmosphere letting it overwrite the sky colors from Flight Enviroment. Last but not least I use a few different water textures and reflection maps and I add these last.

Have a great Holiday everybody!

Oh Heck I have never been very politically correct.



MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
