    I will certainly banned, but, with ASE, there is always something that does not work.

  2. Hey Guys,Recently I have had this issue where if I load up, or am flying to an airport, for example 'YMMB' or Moorabbin, I get ADVANCED INTERPOLATION at the end, which I believe is just a metar made from the weather around this airport. However, when I type .metar YMMB in squawkbox, there is a full METAR, and this isnt being put in ASE, I'm just getting a interpolation metar. It seems to happen around most of the airport in AU, NZ etc. If I could have some help to fix this it would be greatly appreciated.Kind Regards,James

    I had been having some problems with ASE not being able to connect to the HIFi servers. That issue seems to have resolved itself for now. Like many users, I have also had some problems with destination winds not being correct. In some cases, this seems to be related to the extensive use of "advanced interpolation."Earlier this morning, I loaded up ASE with my aircraft parked on the ramp at EGLC (London City airport.) The following log excerpt begins right at the point where the actual weather injection into FSX first commenced:10:41:52:0351 - Sent Weather: EGLC10:41:52:0554 - Sent Weather: EGLC10:41:52:0836 - Sent Weather: EGLC10:41:53:0758 - Sent String: EGRB 091421Z 117…

    I download weather in ASE then start FSX and the weather depiction is pretty much according to the Metar report. As my flight continues to another area with different weather, the FSX depiction does not change even though the weather gage indicates the different conditions per the nearest Metar report. In other words, if I fly from an area with scattered clouds at 3500' into an area with clear skies, there are still scattered clouds at 3500'. This has been a constant condition thru months of use. My ASE settings are:Checked Force Destination WX Zone and Enhance Route Coverage in general options.Checked Prevent Cloud Redraws in cloud options.CAVOK Cloud Generation at z…

  10. Hello everyone!One of the things I do not understand is why the the 6.5 is much better than the ASE.The worst thing that exists on issues related to weather in the FS are the abrupt changes in clouds, temperatures and winds. I've already configured the ASE all forms to prevent this, and unfortunately I did not get success in any of them.I use FS9.1. Already configured by changing the local range Suppression, Suppression wx destination and the problem continues EVER!I always create the flight plan by ASE, Start FS and set the weather and FSUIPC in FS as the manual recommends e. .. NOTHING! Everything remains the same with the same abrupt changes in flight.When I'm flying O…

    I am using ASA. After installing FSX on the server (ASA is installed on the client for a couple of years now) I thought I installed correctly simconnect.cfg, simconnect.xml and simconnect.ini. And of course creating the paths between the 2 machines libraries.I cannot succeed to establish a dialog between FSX and ASA.Then I read in the SDK manual that I needed to execute Simconnect.msi on the client machine. (It must have been done years ago !!) But O.K. I want to execute the module as mentioned in the SDK instructions. I copied the SDK library to the client. Then I execute the module. Then I get the following message: A network error occured while attempting top read from…

    Greetings,I am currently using ASA on an FS9/WinXP machine. I still have AS v6.5 installed on it also, which I haven't used in a long, long time. Recently I launched AS v6.5 but got the following error as soon as the AS 6.5 screen loaded: "Error initializing - Check your INI file!".Just what is it I'm supposed to be checking within the file?I'm getting alot of cloud popping, sudden visibility changes with ASA, no matter what settings I've used (I've been monitoring this forum and trying suggestions put forth by others) so I thought I'd go back to ASv6 for awhile. I've downloaded ASE and SP1 but haven't installed it yet...still sitting on the fence regarding that.Regards,S…

    Hi Jim,Comparing the real wx image with the one produced by ASE, I see much more (i.e.) cumulus clouds than FEW the local METAR quotes. I know it is a matter of "blending" among the adjacent wx stations, but it remains still in many cases out of a real-like wx depiction. I noticed that a significant role plays the thickness of cloud layers - if you reduce it, the wx comes closer to reality. By the way, what makes ASE select one cloud-thickness value or another ?I could, of course, choose the wx config way to adjust depiction but I think that some corrective actions should be taken by ASE developers on that interface, in order to make wx configurator more efficient, like i…

    You have to get rid of the green message that pops up saying that it updated a weather station, it comes on every 5 to 6 seconds and I can not disable it with fsupic (hide all single line messages) it causing studders everytime it pops up. This has to be fixed.

    I was hoping to see it with SP1 for ASE. I use voice communication via second sound card, but Flight Watch is forced to be on Windows primary sound card. There is a workaround for this, but it takes some before every launch of ASE. If this in not on a roadmap, do anybody knows a program or command line parameter, to use non-default sound device?

    I was looking at the interpolated weather station created near my home airport today and noticed something odd. The winds here today are gusting from 10-20 kts, but the interpolated station has only 2-3 kts of wind. Here's a shot of the interpolation source data, along with the results at bottom (Build 572).Is there a way to turn off these interpolation sites? Or some setting I should change? Thanks,ScottInterpolation screenshot
