    I'm getting this error when I import my flightplan from PHNL to KSFO. I does most of the report and shows me KSFO but I'm not sure what this error is telling me. Can you help?

    Hi Guys,I noticed a reference to lighting in the new AS version. Do you know if the new AS will allow aircraft lights to reflect off clouds? Specifically landing lights while passing through clouds. Strobe and navigation lights would also be a great feature.Regards,Richard

    Hello!As a very satisfied ASv6 user I'm curious if there will be some kind of "upgrade price" period for old customers upgrading to ASX once it is released? Also, if there will be such, will it be available through SimMarket?

    I am looking more forward to the release of these two products than I am SP1! The screenshots and descriptions seem awesome. I have a few questions:1.) Is the choppy water dependent on the weather and will it affect the ability for water landings/takeoffs?2.) Can you hear and "feel" the difference in the runway/taxiway textures?3.) What affect will DX10 have on FSXE? Will a DX10 patch be necessary?

    I must repeat what I read in this forum, that AS6.5 is one of the best add-ons around.Where do I find the winds aloft data- I assume that it is imbedded in the .dat file downloaded from the server, but looking at it in Notepad I couldn't see any variables that looked like WA. Maybe I had picked a bad station to look at.Thanks- Bruce.

    Hi,I often do city pairs in my 737, distance around 200 nm. Weather at departure is downloaded and displays ok. But often I encounter the following situation:At some point during cruise (around 35.000 ft) suddenly the outside view goes grey. No high clouds, no ground details anymore, just all gray. Some 25 nm away from the destination, during descent, weather comes back, with clouds and all. I don't think that on all my trips I am supposed to encounter fog banks en route. Any thoughts?Thanks in advance,Hans

    Hi, I wanted to take a moment to post my personal opinion of ActiveSky6after using it for a few days. VERY IMPRESSIVE! I was very skeptical of all the postings telling of how good a program ActiveSky was....guess I'm a little harder to convince than others. A few months ago, I purchased another weather program which was usable ( I guess ) and finally gave up on it. Still not fully convinced that ActiveSky6 was not snakeoil, I started reading the manual and did my homework based on the forum postings. ( Starting to budge at this point ). Last Friday night, I finally decided to purchase it from Flight1. I had nothing to lose since I could get a refund if it didn't work out …

    I have the latest versions. I have noticed that after flying for some time (it's random), the weather drops out from the clients. I have to manually refresh the weather to have the 2 clients display the weather. When this fails, I have to close and restart WideFS and AS. The default fs9 weather does port the weather properly to the clients. I would appreciate any suggestions--I have been through the fsuipc/widefs and AS documentation--the problem persists--Thanks, rw
