The below log shows all updates for this product since release:

Update 120624 (SU1) B9106 (1.0.9106.22861)

- Fixed weather control script bug that could cause script and depiction failure for users using METERS for altimeter units setting

Update 120324 (SU1 Beta 3) B9103 (v1.0.9103.19141)

- Fixed units issue with MSFS2024 that could cause improper pressure and other settings in some languages/units settings

- Attempted fix for some multi-network-adapter users where script may not function correctly and weather may not depict in sim

- Added weather control script detection and warning/log messages as well as warning indicator (to right of connection status in main screen) if script not found running

- Attempted fix for occasional lack of weather depiction in some cases and additional logging to troubleshoot any remaining cases

Update 112424 (SU1 Beta 2) B9094 (1.0.9094.40127)

- New experimental redesigned cloud smoothing processes: 

• Generally reduced full layer clearing instances during transitions for a better and more full cloud coverage experience
• Removed transition strategy of clearing layers when a large altitude transition was required
• Fixed issue where some layers could become mis-ordered/corrupted
• NOTE: Due to removal of "clearing layers for large altitude changes strategy", layers will occasionally transition altitudes significantly, and this can cause pulsing (or breathing effect) of apparent coverage due to MSFS cloud patterning logic during these large altitude changes - Reduce smoothing rate to make this effect less visible
• NOTE: This is for preliminary testing of this new experimental smoothing processes and may be problematic in certain conditions or situations 

- Fixed issue where METAR-specified cloud layers at or above 24000ft would cause cloud layer corruption and potential low/below-ground layers

- Increased visual depicted coverage of very thin layers as specified in METAR for more expected results

- Removed SayIntentions.AI weather updated skipped messages from log

- General performance and stability improvements

Update 112024 - (SU1 Beta) B9090 (1.0.9090.40431)

- Added MSFS2024 compatibility – ASFS is now dual MSFS2020/2024 compatible and will install for any/all installations of 2020/2024 (Store, Steam or CD) as found (AS_FSConnectorInstall.exe, or a new ASFS installation must be run after MSFS2024 installation in order to install on MSFS2024 or any new MSFS 2020/2024 installation)

- Adjusted cirrus generation to prevent too high coverage and too many cirrus layers in some cases (was also possibly causing reduced performance)

- Slight reduction in general cirrus generation (approximately 10%)

- Increased cloud thickness minimum when precip exists to prevent precipitating cloud layers from being too thin in some cases

- Increased surface attenuation of turbulence and adjusted high altitude threshold to 250ft AGL (was 100ft AGL) for less overall turbulence near ground especially during flare/landing

- Reduced minimum Download interval (option) to 10 (vs. 15) minutes for even quicker updates if desired

- Changed default Download interval to 15 (vs. 30) minutes for quicker default updates

- Added Force DataNet downloads for live/recent weather option - When enabled, HiFi DataNet downloads are used instead of NOAA for live and historical weather (within 10 days) - Can provide quicker updates including 30 minute interval updates, but does not include snow depth data

- Docs updated

- Additional attempted fixes for potential thunderstorm clouds not depicting properly after departure in some cases

- Rework of cloud transition smoothing/synthesis processes regarding thunderstorms to fix occasional thunderstorm depictions and missing/too small CB clouds

- Fixed issue with weather depiction when a duplicate Active Sky preset existed (by user manually copying, add-ons misbehaving or other unexpected duplication of presets)

- Increased coverage of certain thunderstorm scene cloud layers to reduce lightning effect cloud jumping anomalies in certain Anti-Aliasing modes/levels

- General tuning of thunderstorm depictions

- Fixed issue host/port updates from default not properly reflecting in script, causing potential failure to update issues when localhost IP/hostname changed or port option changes were made by user

- Fixed issue with IPv4 disabled for "localhost" host name, causing listener/web errors and failure to depict weather issues in some cases

- Adjusted uninstall process for AS FS Connector to remove any Active Sky FS weather preset files accordingly on uninstall

- Fixed issue with fog layer generation related to previous tstorm depiction fixes

- Reduced SayIntentions.AI status message frequency

June 25, 2024 - B8942 (v1.0.8942.22851) - 2024/07/16
- New Active Sky FS Weather Preset name/control added for enhanced compatibility with SimFX and any other add-on that dynamically controls presets while running, which was previously interfering with ASFS weather control
- Adjusted temperature handling
- Improved depicted temperature horizontal and vertical interpolation (some small variance from conditions layer temperature is expected due to ambient interpolation processes)
- Fixed issue where temperatures could be ~10.0C too hot above FL360 in some cases

NOTE: A new Active Sky FS Weather Preset will be added and selected / shown when in preset mode, instead of the previous "Clear Skies" preset.  Clear skies (regardless of preset index/order) will be chosen when in preset mode and ASFS application is closed.
