Active Sky X Service Pack 2 Released for FSX

Posted on Wed, 03 Sep 2008 00:27:22 GMT

This upgrade pack focuses on wind shifts and visibility depiction improvements, as well as fixing several bugs and adding some new enhanced functionality. In testing, an estimated 80% average reduction in wind shift frequency and intensity has been realized, with 100% wind shift reduction in many cases.

New data smoothing, directional control, special FSX interface techniques and layer manipulation has finally made this possible. With the new Visibility Graduation feature, the FS haze layer is eliminated and a more realistic visibility representation is offered. Visibility gradually clears as you climb to higher altitudes and returns to reported conditions as you descend. Fog layer Simulation is also offered which will visually depict areas of low visibility by injecting low stratus cloud layers. Complete details can be found at the Active Sky X website.
