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

Jim, I have ASV. I went to http://sales.hifisim.com/ASv6/downloads.htmand downloaded the AS6 upgrade which is the 2nd link from the top.I was wondering if the 1st link is also required for someone like myself?JimCYWG

Hello all, I have my Active Sky X on my client PC. All functions work from Active sky X to FSX on my server. The one thing that will not seem to work and just show a blank screen is the X Gauge. I have tried multiple time of uninstalling and re-installing using the XGauge Wizard, and still nothing. I also tried installing manually and still nothing, It seems like it is not receiving any data from ASX. I tried installing Active X on my Server PC and running everything from there and everything worked perfectly. So how can I get this to work over a network. I have tried all the options available to me using the manual.pdf and nothing is helping.Anyone got any ideas?

Flying from RJTT-PHNL I have been experiencing drastic wind changes at cruise altitude about three hrs. into the flight causing the aircraft to overspeed one minute and stall the next, ultimately resulting in the aircraft crashing. I have tried this flight twice with the same results. I have wind smoothing enabled in both FSUIPC and AS. This is with FS9 and AS V6.5 build 522. Are there any other options in AS, FSUIPC or FS I need to enable/ disable to prevent this?Thanks.RPM.

I'm looking into manuals, but I still don't catch one thing. I want to use WX Influenced textures (so that ASG chooses textures suitable to the current weather), but I want ASG to choose only from few textures I manually select. Is there any way how to do it? Any step by step procedure? I want to use WX Influenced textures, but there are few which I really don't like and I don't want ASG uses them.thanks for help

Hi,I bought the bundle ActiveSky X et X GraphicsThese are nice programmes but with a terrible bug !I installed these 2 programmes the first time in the disc where FSX was installed. When I tried to uninstall X Graphics (with the uninstall button), it did not only uninstalled X Graphics but also most folders of FSX !The second time, I installed them on another disc but when I tried to uninstall ActiveSky X it also uninstalled most of my programmes installed on this disc.It is worse than a virus. I spent 4 hours reinstalling all my programmes !My question is. Where do I have to install these 2 programmes and how to uninstall them without destroying everything on the disc ?M…

It can sometimes change from +100 to -40 in 1 min onlyYes, you are right in 1min onlyThe aircraft became very unstable and overstressed

Hi,today I see a strange decoded METAR.METAR is CAVOK, but decoded text show me "broken at 3400 feet. Overcast at 11100 feet".See image below.http://img75.imageshack.us/img75/3784/activeskyxhz0.pngTwo more doubts:- I have couple (Active Sky X SP1 + XGraphics SP1), and when I import a flight plan from FSX (ASX briefing menu) is impossible edit field "alternate ID". This is normal?- Every time that I make a route in briefing menu (or import a route), I see a message asking me if I want install XGraphics Themes based in active route. I always reply "Yes".My doubt is: If I do a long fligh (e.g. 4 hours) and METAR change from "CAVOK" to "OVC with Hard Rain", my XGraphics Theme…

Hi Chris,After looking at some of your comments in this forum to users questions I would suggest you might want to remove the comment on the X Graphics setup screen regarding the (not recommended for 32 bit selection) beside the 512 X 512 check box. Users are selecting the 512 and then selecting the default dxts MS clouds and getting blocky clouds etc. and thinking your clouds are not right. This is causing some of the move to FEX for clouds while yours are fine. Just a suggestion you might want to check out. :) Gary

I have always had this problem with my Nvidia card, and was hoping active sky would fix - any suggestions. I downloaded the lastest driver etc. messed with the .cfg file - short of buying a new card I am stumpedhttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/181093.jpghttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/181094.jpg

Hi All, This is probably something I'm doing wrong or misunderstanding, but when I create an FSX flight plan and add additional waypoints to it, I do not see the additional waypoints in the flight plan in ActiveSkyX. Instead I just see the start and end points with a straight line joining them. If you go to the link below you will see a link (bottom right) to a flight plan that exhibits this kind of behaviour. http://www.astroccd.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/FSX.htmThanksRobP

I am running Active Sky and I keep getting these cloud layers like mist.Is this correct?Thanks,Ron

I uninstalled this program and fs9. I reinstalled both programs and when I initiate asv6 it tells me my scenery is from april 2005 which is when I first installed the progra. I wanted to get a clean start and reprogram it.Why does it still hold that old info?Tim:-)

I got a new pc. FS9 runs fast and smooth.There's one disappointing graphic problem, which may be due to ASG.Whenever I fly through clouds (at 512x512 setting), I get this banding effects with tinges of grey/purple hues. It's like flying through a layer cake. Sometimes even the sky is layered at sunrise/sunset.I suspected this to be due to the Moire effect- when you move one grid against the other, you get this neat visual effect. I thought that the ASG cloud pixels were were clashing against the monitor pixels, if I can use layman's terms.My monitor is a Samsung 931BF LCD 19", graphic card is GeForce 8600GTS 256MB.My old Zenith analogue 17" CRT screen showed the AS clouds…

HI,i have active sky x with xgraphics and i want cross the atlantic with my leveld 767. few days ago, i had my first flight from amsterdam to jfk. i noticed over the atlantic there where no winds! not really realistic. is the jetstream or the wind over the ocean in general not modelled in active sky? is there any way to simulate it. otherwise to fly the NAT would not make too much sense.thankschrjs

It seems that when I am running Activesky I get a lot of pauses in FSX like my computer is trying to catch up.Does not seem to happen when I am not running AS,Would this have something to do with the weather updating?Can I run AS and after getting weather etc shut it down and still have the initial weather just without getting updates?Like I say,don't know if this is the problem but thought I would try it.Thanks,Ron

Hi all, I'm getting these un-realistic looking clouds when flying at high altitudes (see screenshot). FS9 is set to use detailed 3d clouds with 100% coverage, and i'm using the Blueyonder theme pack. Can anyone help?

Hi, hope you can help.I have just purchased & installed AS6.5 & just loaded up my firts flight from EGNX. Sitting on the runway AS loaded in the weather information & the sky & clouds looked great. But after about a minute it updated again to just a grey blanket of cloud & well a bit foggy really.Here is what AS decoded:Wind: 090 True, 6 KtsVis: 4002 Meters, 2 SMClouds: 300 Few, 4500 ScatteredPrecip: NoneTemp: 6C Dew: 6CPressure: 1005 mb, 29.68 inchesWhy does it say clouds few when it installed a complete blanket of clouds in FS9? If only it would keep what ity first loads up then it would be great to fly in as it looks very dramatic, but all I get is…

Sorry if crossposting!---Message: Hi I'm very pleased with your product, but like every customer I guess i never get satisifed :S Is there a way to do the following:1) Set custom weather at one weather station (ENGM for example).2) Keep this weather at ENGM constant/not updated.3) Get automatic updates for all other stations as time goes by.Can this be done in ASX? If not could it be a useable feature in Active Sky Advanced?Explanation: I fly at Oslo Airport ENGM and the weather always is errounous 10sm visibility, I think because og error in the TAF.

Any guesstimate or update for release? :D

I'm experiencing a strange glitch - XGraphics landing lights work fine for default FS aircraft, but on RealAir's SF260 the light stays dark. Once I replace the spotlight.bmp texture with the default one from FSX, lights work again.Other annoying thing is that textures used for strobe effects (and a "halo" around navigation lights and beacons) seem to have this "box" around the edge (it's visible on the attached screenshot). This applies to all aircraft, not only the SF260 as the previous one.Apart from that, everything seems to run great and for daytime flights it looks just awesome :-)I'm using a Radeon X1900 GT with latest Catalysts.Andrew

Can anyone tell me why am getting an error "Program error....Exiting(Verify proper file locations and Mapped Drive to the Root of WideFS/ASv6 Machine)I have done everything right. It worked before now it's not.Any help would be greatly aprreciated.Alpha37

I have to completly redo my laptop, Active Sky 6.5 is one of the few programs I have lost when the puter crashed. I just went to Flight1 and got my key for Active Sky but I need to know how to go about redownloading it. I need an E mail link or something like that. I have my Flight 1 order number if you need that I am sure that some where I also have a screen shot of the payment.Thanks,Ken
