Hey,

Today I tought lets give Cumulus x another chance , but unfurtunatly im sorted out with another problem.

There are no clouds or lift what so ever.

Debug:

----- Slope Lift ------
Eff. Slope Angle= 0
Eff. Slope Dir. = 328
Amb. Wind Dir.  = 000
Amb. Wind Speed = 0,00
Lift Decay Const= 1000
Acft Altit. AGL = 1,91
Lift:           = 0,00
   Wind         = 0,00
   Thermal      = 0,00
--- Thermal Conditions ---
Thermal Energy  = -0,53
Sun Azimuth     = 183°
Sun Altitude    = 14°
Max. Sun Altit. = 15°
Solar time      = 12:12
Sunrise         = 08:15
Alitude Error   = 0
CumulusXDll     = False

Is it because of the season, maybe? Check to see what season it is when loading for a flight. I wish I could help more, but I've kinda been away for a while. One other thing, possibly, uncheck the Script Thermals maybe.

Hi preshantram,

you are pretty way North and it is winter time. I conclude this from the sun azimuth saying sun is in the South, and only 14° over the horizon.

This means there is little to no chance of having thermals, indicated by "Thermal Energy = -0.53". This will get positive, if thermals are considered to be possible.

Ridge lift will not occur either, as windspeed is zero.

Go to Southern hemisphere or choose summer as the season. Choose for some decent windspeed up to sufficient altitude in the extended weather menu (the simple dialog will only set the surface wind). Set the weather change rate in the display setting menu, weather tab, to second lowest position (otherwise, setting the wind will never get effective).

best regards,

Peter

Edit: Indeed the script thermal indicator is red, unless you have provided a list of predefined thermals (see the manual appendix for that), which supersedes then the automatic thermal generation. So you may well turn it off, as of now it simply does not have any effect.

Thanks, that worked, unfortunatly i've exactly the same problem as posted in http://forum.aerosoft.com/index.php?/topic/68911-cumulus-x-issue-clouds-are-spawned-far-around-me/

Not sure if Peter is talking with you or not via PM, but if you can provide a zipped download he suggested in that post, he may be able to sort it out better. I think you can attach a file to the post through the Use Full Editor button on the right side of the Post button.

Did you try the "UnBlue" option?

Peter

Yes Peter, I did

As an the referenced thread I suggest sending me a zip with your save flight configuration, in order to reproduce your situation. You can upload it here or PM me or using my public e-mail address.
