  1. Hi chaps,I'm getting the following error when running ASX from a laptop trying to connect to FSX on a desktop PC...SimConnect (SP1 version) was not able to be loaded... this is required for operation with FSX....Here's what I've tried so far...1. Uninstalled SP1 and reinstalled it.2. Deleted the folder ending in the name 429211e9 containing simconnect.dll in c:windowsWinSxS.3. Run the repair utility on the FSX DVD.4. Deinstalled and reinstalled ASX.I'm just about at my wits end. I know the problem is related to simconnect and not AS but it doesn't make it any easier to take. :-(Additionally I'm now getting problems with my GoFlight software when FSX starts and it seems co…

    After getting this error message, it was fixed by adding the DownloadStations.zip in the Xengine/ASX folder. However, now it is back. I renewed the zip file in case it got corrupted, but the error is still present.How i can fix this issue ?Thanks for your reply.Heiko

    HiLove ASX and enjoying it immensely. One question - once I have created the theme I like in XGraphics and uploaded and then flown, do I need to upload the XGrraphics every new flight I make even if I want to use the same theme? Or, is it the case that, once the theme is installed, there is no need to keep loading it via ActiveySkyX whenver I jump back into FSX unless I chnage the theme in XGraphics?ThanksAndrew

    Sorry to be a pain but are there any special settings required for Multiplay with ActiveSkyX/Graphics?Reason for question, I host with no problem(all is well with ActiveSkyX/Graphics) but my brother(he has ActiveSkyX/Graphics as well) can not join session. After process of elimination to include shut down firwalls, anti-virus, changing aircraft to default, he could join with his computer running ActiveSkyX/Graphics if I only run FSX with FSX weather. Our weather conditions were somewhat different in wind speed & direction. My flt sim computer is connected(hardwired)to a DSL router, his is wireless, our multiplay connection shows red -1. As a side note, I am very happy…

  10. Hi Jim and TeamThanks for the new products weather/graphics for FSX, as usual they make for a great realistic experience. I see that UT for FSX has been released, so a couple of questions: Will we see any significant difference over X Graphics? I've had a look at Hollister (one of their featured towns in the demo) and FSX with X graphics depicts it quite well. Is FSX UT USA compatible with the "bundle" particularly X Graphics?ThanksPeter Hayes

    After setting up ASX on a network, TrackIR refused to work. I tracked the problem down to the missing local entry in the SimConnect.xml on the host PC.Well, now TrackIR works together with WideFS and FSCommander via network, but ASX is suddenly unable to connect with FSX (it worked before). I don't get an error on the main screen log, it just stops at ***ASX Initial Weather Synthesis Complete***.Here is my SimConnect.xml :<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252"?>SimConnectSimConnect.xmlFalseFalseIPv4global 192.168.1.5 6480024096FalseFalseAutolocalDid i miss something ?

    Hi,My mentality (from fs2004 days) was always that I could download real-world weather so why bother with Active Sky.Ive been looking at the screenies for ASX and ####....... I think im gonna have to make a purchase.But just a couple Q's,1- Does it work directly with the weather engine in FSX but add its own types of clouds/textures etc, or does it completly use its own weather engine?2- Does it use the same data from the jeppeson servers? if so, how come the cloud coverage/weather complexity looks so much more detailed than default FSX?3- Do you have to set the FSX weather to "clear" for it to ignore any FSX generated weather?thanks

    No answer from me, I'm afraid, only another question in the same vein: I "don't like" (read "hate") - the runway, taxyway or hardstanding textures: they all appear very painted-by-machine, "in your face", and don't blend in with the surroundings. :( On approach from 5 or 6 miles away the runway, for eg., tarmac or otherwise stands out like a highly visible, sharp-sided block against a normal hazy airport: the taxyway lines are a bright sharp lines, no faded, scruffy, worn dirty yellow. . I've tried all the the supplied textures, and none of them look as realistic as the default do (not to say that the default are any works of art), but I really don't think any of them ar…

    This may have nothing to do with X Graphics but, since I am using its textures for the runways and taxiways, and since you guys are a bunch of simming gurus, I thought that I should ask here.Recently, after X Graphics, I get bright green runways (like textures missing) and flashing taxiways when I am at some distance and altitude from the airports. As I approach they suddenly pop into their proper textures.Any ideas?

But every time I am above Fl 100 the visibility suddenly changes to very clear. Is this normal in real life or do I have to change a setting within ASV?
