HiFi Technologies has released Active Sky 2012 Interim Update Beta Build 8347 for FSX. Available Here
Revision Log B4387:
- Fixed problem related to Cirrus handling that could result in excessive cloud clearing/shifting as well as temperature and pressure depiction issues
- Fixed problem where an Airport (vs. weather station) would fail to bring up proper interpolation station information in the Wx Report screen
- Fixed problem with certain Sky Night textures that would cause an unwanted bright area of sky in some cases
- XGauge: Made MET and DST textual weather information background color darker and more opaque for easier readability
- Fixed problem where an Airport (vs. weather station) would fail to bring up proper interpolation station information in the Wx Report screen
- Fixed problem with certain Sky Night textures that would cause an unwanted bright area of sky in some cases
- XGauge: Made MET and DST textual weather information background color darker and more opaque for easier readability
with brighter background colors (XGauge must be updated by running XGauge Installation Wizard’s file copy and access check)
- Changed Airplane Icon in Map/XGauge view for better visibility
- Fixed problem in Wx Edit screen where entering fractional visibility in the METAR string,
- Changed Airplane Icon in Map/XGauge view for better visibility
- Fixed problem in Wx Edit screen where entering fractional visibility in the METAR string,
parsing and then applying would result in an unhandled exception
- Added support for fractional visibility entry (i.e. 0.25 or ¼) in the Visibility text field of the Wx Edit screen
- Fixed problem where right-clicking the MAP screen with no flight plan loaded would result in an unhandled exception
- Added support for fractional visibility entry (i.e. 0.25 or ¼) in the Visibility text field of the Wx Edit screen
- Fixed problem where right-clicking the MAP screen with no flight plan loaded would result in an unhandled exception
(now an informational message is shown asking the user to first load a plan with departure and destination specified before adding waypoints)
- Corrected Latitude/Longitude/Elevation of FALE station in the default-supplied database
- Fixed problem with Cirrus_Overcast03 texture being improperly handled when creating or installing Snapshots in some cases
- Fixed problem with Cirrus_Overcast03 texture failing to properly build in some cases
- Corrected Latitude/Longitude/Elevation of FALE station in the default-supplied database
- Fixed problem with Cirrus_Overcast03 texture being improperly handled when creating or installing Snapshots in some cases
- Fixed problem with Cirrus_Overcast03 texture failing to properly build in some cases
which may result in black/gray rectangles being depicted instead of proper cirrus cloud sprites
- Fixed problem where certain water textures may fail to copy/install in some cases
- Fixed problem where machine code generation could fail in some isolated cases causing unnecessary reactivations on a single system
- Various documentation edits to further explain or better clarify certain elements
- Fixed problem in Wx Edit screen where deleting the only cloud layer or last cloud layer could result in an unhandled exception
- Improved DWC very high-altitude aloft temperature handling (between 50K and 90k ft) to avoid unrealistically-low temperatures
- Fixed UI Screen Size problem that affected some users, causing the UI to be “cut off” and partially inaccessible

Active Sky Evolution Service Pack 3 Released
HiFi Technologies has released Active Sky Evolution Service Pack 3 for FSX and FS2004.
Changes in Service Pack 3:
- Reduced sensitivity of location change detection which was previously activating improperly while using the SLEW function,
causing unnecessary resets and refreshes.
- Improved interpolation of precipitation types snow/rain, so that rain will not be improperly depicted when temperatures indicate freezing.
- Added new “Force ATC Wind Lock” option. When enabled, surface winds will not change, and ATC runway assignment conflicts should be avoided.
The locked wind will be “reset” when you cross the 80nm threshold to your destination, if using a flightplan, or within 3000ft AGL of the surface otherwise,
in order to allow the wind to update to the latest conditions before arrival, but only once.
- Fixed problem on server relating to 116 “lingering” stations that were providing stale aloft data.
- Fixed problem with aloft interpolation logic that would cause improper wind directions in some cases.
