https://hifisimtech.com/downloads/Open Beta 2 Tuned turbulence: Decreased effect scale for middle-heavy weight aircraft, Increased effect scale slightly for light aircraft, increase pitch rotational effect overall, reduced roll effect slightly
Updated API docs to correct issue regarding as_xconnect.txt module log filename
Added client IP address/ports logging into in as_xconnect.txt
Service Pack 1 Change Log Added Turbulence improvements throughout for increased realism and compatibility with various aircraft types
Improved weather update process to significantly reduce cloud redraws when the relevant cell areas havent changed significantly even during a download/update process
Added new 3-letter USA airport/weather station data support 3 letter airports now provide actual weather data, when available, instead of interpolating
Improved weather station coverage by approximately 500 stations globally
Added 5 second delay when looping ATIS/Flightwatch messages
Added common data export path support as per FSX/P3D AS products (available in General options)
Added support of VV/// METAR elements which will force ceiling to 0ft
Added additional X-Plane version checking logic during folder selection process to prevent a case where automatic detection of an old/obsolete version could be found without users confirmation and no ability to select the desired/proper version folder
Added + character support in Active Sky account e-mail addresses
Improved documentation regarding default X-Plane location/folder selection process whether standard or Steam variant
Added various user registration process improvements
Improved cell/station logic logging for debugging purposes
Improved interpolation logic for very short flights with or without flight plan for more accurate weather conditions even when a station borders multiple cells that previously may have had variable weather causing apparent discrepancies
Improved interpolation logic in general
Adjusted Maximum and Minimum Surface Visibility options when in default non-global depiction mode to limit maximum value to 20 miles (due to X-Plane limitations in this mode)
Reduced yaw/side forces during turbulence effects
Various UI adjustments for 125% and 150% scaling modes
Changed default maximum surface visibility to 20 miles for consistency between depiction modes
Updated Documentation to account for changes
Fixed problem with ASXP turbulence not effecting larger aircraft appropriately
Fixed issue regarding yaw forces seemingly persisting after turbulence events in some cases
Fixed problem with cirrus clouds not depicting in many cases when in default cell/theme depiction mode
Fixed some UI layout issues in certain cases
Fixed some language issues and typos in UI messages, descriptions and documentation
Fixed problem in password change function where password change may cause inability to login in some cases
Fixed issue with crosswind attenuation with gusts/variability present
Fixed problem with very long passwords
Fixed an issue regarding sigmet boundary parsing in some cases
Fixed problem regarding delayed/obsolete TAF data preventing proper interpolation in some cases
Fixed issue regarding AI aircraft data read in some cases (regarding certain add-ons that modify internal AI aircraft datarefs)
