ber97 12 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I am sending you this message to ask you how to get the weather so it is completely overcasted and you can't see the sky. Also I'd like to ask you how to get Fsx graphics so it looks like if it was almost real life. Just one more question. Real aircraft, when they take off, they ascend very fast. In Airbus X I cannot ascend so fast and it takes lot of time to be at cruising altitude. How can I ascend that quick. That question about weather is just because everytime I choose overcast, there are lot os clouds but there are some spaces between them. Thank you very much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galaio 16 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 To climb faster use op climb and set speed close to green dot regards, galaio Sent from my LG-P760 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EDNR-Cruiser 319 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Hi "ber97", I'm afraid the FSX will never look like "real life"... - there will always remain a visible distance to real world photos. Concerning your question about "complete overcast weather"... - that is achievable to a certain extent but there is no such setting in the FSX that works as such... - one of many flaws as usual with Microsoft products... ;-) Coming back to your question... - I trick the FSX by using not only multiple levels of clouds (each at least about 3000ft thick) but also multiple levels of visibility! I have attached two screenshots with my usual weather for IFR training: The weather settings are: Clouds: Level 1: 600ft AGL to 5500 ft - Stratus - 8/8 Level 2: 6500ft MSL to 10000ft - Cumulus - 8/8 The more cloud levels you add, the more overcast the ground should be. I only use two levels because I hardly ever fly higher than FL130 in my non-pressurized GA aircraft... Visibility: Level 1: GND to 2500ft MSL - 3 NM Level 2: 2500ft to 5500ft MSL - 1/16 NM Level 3: 5500ft to 6500ft MSL - 5 NM Level 4: 6500ft to 10500ft MSL - 1/16 NM Level 5: 10500ft to 12000ft MSL - 20NM The reason for the lower limit of the first cloud setting (above ground level) is for practicing reasons and depends on the altitude of my destination, keeping the ceiling slightly above decision height.

ber97 12 Posted March 5, 2013 Author Share Posted March 5, 2013 Than you very much to both. Galaio, could you explain me how to do that please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galaio 16 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Hello ber97. To apply OP CLIMB just set altitude and pull altitude knob. Regarding green, select your speed in speed knob and set speed to the correspond the green dot you see on pfd speed tape. This is a common technique used by real word airbus pilots when they want to climb faster to avoid clouds.

ber97 12 Posted March 6, 2013 Author Share Posted March 6, 2013 Galaio, Thank you very much, But there is only one thing I don't understand. What do you mean with that PFD green dot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galaio 16 Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 On your Primary Flight Display, after you set flaps 0, appears a greed dot on speed tape. Select your speed a little after that green dot. Green Dot is the speed that provides the best reason between lift and drag. Since there's less inertia, the plane can climb faster.

ber97 12 Posted March 7, 2013 Author Share Posted March 7, 2013 So that means that I have to select my speed in the FCU to the green dot, right? Thank you so much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galaio 16 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Yes. This only in some situations, like cumuluninbus ahead . For a normal flight use managed. The rate of climb is very well represented in axe, i guess Regards, Galaio Sent from my LG-P760 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

738 756 Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Also in regards to getting a better overcast, you can try setting the CLOUD_COVERAGE_DENSITY value in your FSX cfg to 12, this has great effect when using a weather utility such as AS2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ber97 12 Posted March 10, 2013 Author Share Posted March 10, 2013 Does it also work with REAL ENVIROMENT EXTREME? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

738 756 Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Well i use AS2012 with REX E OD textures and AS2012 own textures, AS has always been a steady reliable weather engine and its always recieving updates and enhancements. I do not use REX's engine but their textures are amazing. Alot of people are going for OPUS which seems to be getting very good remarks. At the end of the day it's your choice but, if you want a complete package, engine, textures, historical weather, flight planning, to name a few then i would say AS2012...its got everything going for it!

KyleD 1027 Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 You'd think we got a discount or something...... I also use AS2012 and definitely agree with what Rafal and Chris said above! Make sure to look at them all though, the big 3 right now are AS2012, REX, and Opus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
