Release Candidate 2

  • Fixed force to sim time issue when sim month/day is later than current month/day (expecting previous-year)
  • Fixed force to sim time issue causing January 1 active date/time before flight starts
  • Various pre-release optimizations and configuration adjustments
  • License and upgrade handling adjustments
  • Note: To upgrade an ASXP license to ASXP12, login with ASXP12 RC2 or later by May 19, 2023. Confirm your upgrade as shown in the ASXP12 startup screen under “Status” (Confirmed upgrades will show ASXP Upgrade to ASXP12…. CONFIRMED!)

Release Candidate 1

  • Further turbulence tuning based on feedback
  • Fixed issue with improper forces in turbulence effect being applied to smaller/lighter aircraft (forces should now result in consistent relative results regardless of aircraft size)
  • Adjusted precipitation logic/depiction for XP12, focusing on improving chance/occurrence of yellow/red on XP12 radar during CB conditions

Beta 14

  • Fixed aircraft unable to pushback with Better Pushback add-on
  • Fixed poor performance in some aircraft with Beta 13
  • Tuned vertical drafts effect
  • Tuned turbulence based on feedback
  • Changed default turbulence scale setting to 50 vs 70 (Easy mode now at 30, Realism mode at 70) and updated relevant documentation
  • Another attempt at resolving rare Error Code = 127 module load issue

Beta 13

  • Added newly designed ASXP12 clear air turbulence effect, replacing all X-Plane 12 internal clear air turbulence
  • Added new option/feature: XP12 live hybrid depiction control. Uses ASXP12 full weather control for departure, switches to XP12 live weather depiction + ASXP12 effects for enroute (above the transition altitude, default 10K), and back to ASXP12 full control for approach and landing (flight plan recommended, live wx mode in AS options required)
  • Added new option: Hybrid transition altitude MSL. Sets the altitude at which climbing above triggers the switch to X-Plane 12 live weather mode. Preloads ISA ambients 3000ft prior to climbing through transitional altitude for reduced apparent shift during mode switch.
  • Miscellaneous attempts at resolving rare Error Code = 127 plugin load issue plus new logging related to plugin loading process
  • Attempt to avoid unwanted precipitation and potential wet runways/airports when not expected by avoiding variations in cumulus cloud types
  • Changed regional variation back to 10% vs. 0% in previous betas for more variation without significant unexpected conditions
  • Changed minimum download interval to 10 mins vs. 5 minutes, changed default to 30 vs 15 (for network cost management with minimal usage effect)
  • Fixed repeating day change issue with historical force to sim time in GMT +/-12 locations (i.e. New Zealand)
  • Fixed automatic setting of wx mode in XP12
  • Fixed problem with ground elevation calculations and layers causing occasional discrepancies outside of departure area
  • Various adjustments to interpolation, cloud synthesis and cloud handling for better XP12 results
  • Attempted fix for rare intermittent hang on exit issue
  • Removed region-based weather option from view as it is mandatory and forced on (future weather depiction mode options are planned)

Beta 12

  • Added new Auto load SimBrief plan option to automatically load SimBrief plans at startup and any location change
  • Adjusted wind and temp layer altitude parameters for better results
  • Adjusted dewpoint parameters in attempt to avoid surface air saturation (and potential wet airports/wet runways at arrival without recent precipitation)
  • Fixed problem with historical time selections/changes not activating in some cases
  • Updated documentation

fixed

improved

Beta 11

  • Fixed SimBrief parse error related to lowercase IDs used in flight plan
  • Fixed improper zulu date parsing in some cases when using "Force historical to sim time"
  • Updated logo/title fonts
  • Fixed TAF text box location issue on undocked conditions form

fixed

Beta 10

  • New barometric pressure control attempt with enhanced smoothing and improved accuracy
  • New surface layer control method for improved temperature and baro accuracy in XP12 weather reports, datarefs, and other add-ons
  • Fixed ASXP12 crash on XP12 exit in some cases
  • Added Override XP12 surface variability option/feature (on by default) which allows ASXP12 to control surface variability fully
  • Updated documentation

Beta 9

  • Fixed error with some SimBrief plans causing parse error
  • Added thermal rate control
  • Added enhanced wind smoothing for reduced wind shifts
  • Removed obsolete XP11 options (Override turbulence, surface crosswind attenuation, wake turbulence strength)
  • Changed Application startup sounds option default to off
  • Updated documentation
