The AS16 and ASCA | Active Sky | Active Sky Next | XPAX Support Forum

There is a setting in Display Settings in FSX for Rate of Dynamic change....will this have an effect on ASX ?Also, I remember in FS9 that TAF could be switched off or on. Is TAF forcasting automatically dealt with by ASX ? And, how can I setup weather for departure...weather for destination then switch-off ASX...or does it need to be running to create different weather..ie. if ASX is switched off..does the current weather just stay the same globally ?

Hi,I reinstalled ASX and now weather is depicted.However, the main screen says that there is an "exception received 14" every 1 second...and the main screen keeps flashing a green-lit status for Depection Active alternating with Depiction Idle every 2 seconds or so.... Is this normal ? I must admit I've never before paid any attention to the Main screen before.

For the second night yesterday I was trying to get from EGKK to EHAM @CRZ FL250 in my ES's Hawker and CJ1 multiple times. My airplanes were knocked down from the sky (overstressed) by periodic gushes that seemed more like the sudden God's hand (forgive my comparison) rather, than a weather phenomenon. I checked the winds were from the west @65knots at that FL and about 50knots starting from FL110. I always have smoothing on. Generally, strong wind shifts happen even every short flight 3-4 times with AS engaged. And it kills motivation of using AS and flying FSX in general. When I use periodic weather updates inside the game, wind gushes and shears seem to become more acce…

From Pete's forum regarding FSUIPC v4.217 beta:"2. At last I think I've cracked it. through some horrible hacks into FSX's innards, I have got the Wind Smoothing working to my reasonable satisfaction at last. It isn't quite perfect, and it certainly needs more testing, but so far it looks quite good. I'd hoped to do the visibility facilities too, the same way, but alas it doesn't appear possible. One thing though, the wind smoothing is in one way actually better, I think, than in FS2004 -- because I've managed to add a passable simulation of turbulence, variance and gusts, when these are set in the weather -- in FS2004 the smoothing tended to override these. (This part wa…

Hi all!One Question. If I configure "Enable ASG Auto-Submit" Full sky theme and cirrus theme in Wx-influed, what happen with new meteo textures that will appear during a flight? Are they going to be up to date?? because the Fs is being executing at that time.Thanks very muchRegards--------------Santiago

I am running the LDS 767 and use the pushback feature provided by Level D. You call to gound and then request pushback (option 4) and put in the distance & angle and away we go.I have purchased & installed xpax and using it on a remote machine using simconnect. It is configured correctly and everything works well up until the point of pushback - ie the airway coes across, the doors open and close as they should the pax board the aircraft, all reports OK.When I call for pushback, and select option 4, FSX hangs and after a while it CTD. I have tried several times and this happens every time. If I dont run xpax, and call for pushback, the aircraft pushes back as it s…

Hello at all!I have a question for you. As you know FS9 has some problemes about real time and timezones detection, so I would like to know if As6.5 solve that issue. I saw in "dynamics" section that it has some things about time: "Use system time (Vs FS Time)" and "Automatic timezone detection" I tried it but nothing, or Do I have to use the " FS RealTime" program?. Any idea??Thanks a lotRegards----------------Santiago

Everything seems to be connecting via my network, and it states on a green banner that ASX is connecting and weather being depicted...but in FSX the actual weather does NOT change.Any ideas ?Thnx in advance

how can i disable fsx default atc ive treid from the menus unticking the boxes but it still come on by its self talking over radar contact traffickav

i keep getting this message i have reinstalled again and again + sp1 sp2 vista 64 kav

I wonder if anyone else has the same problem. I'm using ASX for weather engine and FEX for clouds.Today we had a totally overcast day over Oakland and tested out ASX on it. And yes, KOAK weather gave a scattered on 3500 and total overcast on 6500 and above.So I start up FSX and it reads the ASX settings correctly into the custom weather settings. The problem is, when I look around, it totally doesn't reflect those settings as you can see in the following screengrab.http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/182959.jpgSo I decide to save that flight to keep the weather settings. I then stop running ASX and restart FSX. Then I load the same flight with the same weather settings, an…

Hello,I am running ASX from a remote machine and X graphics on the local FSX PC. Both are working fine and I successfuly set all my X Graphic textures from my FSX PC to the FSX localy.When I opened ASX on my remote machine and loaded a route to fly, I noticed that on both the "report" page and the "breifing" page of the ASX the option of X Graphics shows like it "is not installed on this system".I really don't understand what does it say, if it should be this way or not, and what is the need of installing X Graphic textures from my ASX weather report page...?I would appreciate you clearing this for me please

I'm taking a look at this since everyone seems to rave about it. It's hard finding information and would be nice if there was a demo for a week or so. Or maybe a downloadable manual.I have FE and don't need the cloud/sky textures. Or do they still add something? Other than current weather, how does the weather engine work? Can it be accessed from modules or something inside fs9? Can weather simply be loaded into fs9 like FE loads textures? With the fs9 weather engine, let alone current weather, since I have FE, what does this add? I have weather maker and that seems like a nice program. But I'm asking a few questions (with a problem) on their forum and nobody seems…

Had to re-install windows and everything else. I am now having a problem with ASG, it gives me an error message and will not load. I purchased AS6 and then upgraded to 6.5, I also installed the service update. Any suggestions?http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v111/cho...y1/Image1-1.jpg

Hi all,Running AS6.5, FS9, Windows XP.Today I was doing a VFR flight in Alaska, everything looking good, slight drizzle at start but viz was ok below the cloud deck.Trundling along the sun started to shine, greats thinks me, I can go over the mountains instead of hugging the coast.5 minutes later, cloud had broken and the sun was shining. Few clouds on the horizon but that was it. This, I thought, is why i love ActiveSky.Then in the space of 10 seconds everything grayed out. Instant IFR. Roll wings level, pitch up 15 degrees and go heads in. Went all the way up to about 10K.The question is is there something I can do to stop this sort out of the blue weather? It really wa…

Hi,I installed ASv6.5 on a networked computer over WideFS. Run the ActiveRadarConnector.exe program and all the messages are OK, but when launching Active Sky I get the following message: "Error during FS station database check (step3): stations may not be properly configured for extended coverage weather depiction"Any clue about this?Tanks for your help in advance,RegardsAbrupto

Had to rebuild my FSX/ASX install and seemed to get everything installed in the proper order OK. However, when I initiate a flight from an airport I know is supposed to have current inclement weather, that weather isn't there - don't have the precip that should be there.I reverted back to FSXSP1 and uninstalled all ASX&G. I then started incremental reinstalls of ASX&G. The base install of ASX&G gives me the current precip I know currently exists along the gulf coast in LA and AL. Once I get to ASX&G SP1, the current correct weather is gone - I have a few cumulus clouds but an otherwise clear sky - and I know that ain't right. (I get the 'AS initial we…

Hi,Sorry for what will be a bit of a noobie question i have active sky set up. buit what do i do with the active graphics program? i currently have it set to the random theame, what should this be set to, and do i have to do anything to get this accross to flightsim 9.Thanks in advance

I have AS6.5 instaled on networked configuration. When I try to send graphics to fs9 It shows that message:"Partial Submit Successful! FS2004 depict these selections on launch (or re-launch).Some files could not be updated -see submit.log for more details." On submit.log I notice that access to some fs9texture is denied.After loadin fs9 AS6 loads to fs9 some texturesI wonder if that is normal in that configuration or do I miss something?Thanks in advance for your reply

9:00 EST on Sunday 13 January, and my AS6 can't connect to either of the HiFi weather servers. Doesn't matter whether "Force Primary" or "Force Secondary" are checked or unchecked, AS6 just sits at "Connecting to HiFi DataNet" forever. Probably just a momentary glitch, but I thought I'd post on it anyway. :)Lewis "Moose" GregoryDurham, North Carolina

Hello!I'm a long time fan of active sky, and have just purchased ASX. I booted it up just then and was surprised at how much the interface has changed since the days of AS6. The first thing I did was look through all the menus and see what buttons I can push :( . As I'm not a fan of reading instruction manuals, I instinctively hovered over each and every button to read the tooltips. They're hidden!!!! :( Noo! Every tooltip is hidden behind the programs interface. I know this because a few of the bigger ones pop out of the side. I don't know if it's something I did, or a bug but I've read of it happening in the X Graphics program (and fixed in the patch). If anyone could t…

Hi,The weather gauge pop up panel in Active Sky is just too small for me. I tried messing around with the parameters for panel Shift-5:[Window04]size_mm=277,221position = 5Visible = 0ident = 14991gauge00=XGauge!WeatherMap,0,0(remember, the pop-ups start with Window00 for Shift-1)I can change the black background size, but the gauge stays the same. I think running in 1600x1200 resolution is making it so small, but the sim looks so good in this rez otherwise...How can I make it bigger?

Hello, I have had ASv6 running with FS9 for a while now, however, for some reason I've been having this exact problem:http://forums.avsim.net/dcboard.php?az=sho...ing_type=searchI've tried the Render to Texture and 32-bit clouds, but FS still freezes after a while, however it only happens when flying into heavily-cloud-laden skies, if I'm flying in clear conditions with or without AS, all runs fine. I've tried this with no 3rd-party sceneries or AFCADs with the same result, system specs are Intel Core 2 Duo E6600, Nvidia 7800GT graphics, 2GB RAM, 180GB hard drive where FS is installed. I also have installed GE Pro and Flight Environment textures, I use no ASG textures.

I'm planning my first trans-oceanic flight (Pacific) and will be flying KLAX-NZAA (12 hours). Could someone suggest any specific AS6.5 settings I should be using for such a long, over water, flight? Thanks!!!

Hello. Where i can download the last update for ActiveSky wxRE??Thanks for your help!
