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)
