I have ASv6.5 for fs9. A great addition to my 'realism' arsenal. For some obscure reason I am no longer able to access the fs9 'real world weather' site or have not been able to for a day or so (it could be the site) but a question springs to mind. If I have ASv6.5 configured to give me online updates, is it necessary to have fs9 obtaining them as well?Jon S.

The current and immediate previous builds of ASG are (or causing something) to read my A drive during auto updates. Doesn't happen when auto updates are disabled/ASG is shut down. Soon as I start ASG the drive seeking starts.I haven't been able to capture this with file monitor. While there is another thread in the forum on this topic, it appears nothing was resloved.This happens only when ASG is active. No, antivirus is not running.Anyone have a brilliant solution?Jim Harnes

I'm getting paraameter name error: Length cannot be less than zero.Had every thing working great until I had to reformat hard drive and reinstall FS9 and AS 6.5.,and everything else x(

I have had this error call and have done what you asked (ie a fresh install)with the V/C off.before hand ran XOFTSPY twice and AVG twice both showed a clean comp and reg!!Ran AS6.5 that was checked by AVG for any virus that showed none was clean and no errors shown on weather download.then ran XOFTSPY and got this.MateWatcher is a spyware program that logs keystroles and monitors user activity on the infected machine.

Hey there,I am thinking of buting active sky, but wonder is active sky graphics a separate stand alone or just a part of active sky? What i mean is can i load just the texutes without real world updates or not?Thanks,Dan.

Hi,Whenever the cirrus clouds are updated I get a blue box popping up in FS which also takes the focus away from FS asking me to wait while the cirrus auto-submission is beeing processed...how can I stop this box from popping up inside FS but still have the cirrus clouds updated during flight?

I just downloaded a package called "Real Sky Perfected".I think it just replaces some textures but I'm not sure. I want to continue to use Active Sky but how would I know if AS is replacing textures or not? Jeff

Hi,Sorry for the problem. Are you forcing any weather on the AS Options page?Another thing to try is to reset FSUIPC to Default settings and Weather Settings Off.Please let us know,Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/Active Sky V6 Development Team Active Sky V6 Proud SupporterHiFi Beta TeamRadar Contact Supporter: http://www.jdtllc.com/AirSource Member: http://www.air-source.us/FSEconomy Member:http://www.fseconomy.com/

I have been noticing recently that FSnavigator is showing the winds correctly per the ASV interface but FS9 itself is a few degrees - up to 20 - out. The speeds are always correct.Finding it very strange but not life threatening!! Just wondering if anyone else is getting this and whther its an issue with my FSUPIC settings. I do not understand how FSnavigator can show correct settings and the main sim not. Interesting to get some feedbackThanksJohn

Hi, in first place, sorry for my english.I have a problem when charge ASV 6.5 Build 536 (before, with Build 533 are same), i put pics for better comprensive. My ASV is in remote PC and i have FSwide.http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/162875.jpghttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/162876.jpgI have shared the drivers of both pc

JimIf for trouble shooting reasons I run the ASV6 setup and choose the repair option, do I need to run the SU5 again?I did the repair option and my interface screen still says it's Build 523 and ASG screen says it's V1.1 build 187. Even though I think it gets that info from the respective .cfg files. I'm running ASV6 SU5 and GE Pro II, on a wideFS setup (FS9). I have started ASV normally and loaded the sim and everything seems to load as normal as always (ASG and GE Pro, etc.)Just wondering if the ASV6 repair option could have overwrote any files from the original SU5 installation. After running the repair option all the .cfg files are still the same as before running it.…

i noticed in the faqs that .net framework 1.1 is needed to run as 6.5 i have 2.0 so should i uninstall 2.0 and install 1.1 tthanks, jim

Quick question: I've finally managed to figure out how to get rid of that sharp horizon issue, using wx influenced seasonal day textures (smooth horizon). Provided I now want to use a fixed day sky textures set instead, can I still get a smooth horizon? Can somebody explain what is actually triggering the horizon smoothing? Thanks for the help!Roland

Hello Jim or DamienA couple of questions regarding ASV6 (SU5) with GE Pro (FS9)1. In my ASGWorkTexture folder there is nothing in it. In my ASG root folder there was a Text file named (Submit) and In that file was a bunch of lines that said "error submitting final copy" C:BasefoldermodulesASG GraphicsWorkTextures- then the name of the texture- Network path not found.There were a lot of lines in the file and each one named a different texture.The last time that file was modified was before I figured out that my FS path in the ASG cfg file was wrong (not the right share name for my FS9 folder. I never got an error when ASG was submitting the textures when starting activesky…

Hi Gang,I just completed a flight from EGBB to EICK, and the weather was showing up as winds of 228/02, and yet from my house here which is only 14nm from BHX it is blowing an absolute gail.am I missing something, or have I done something wrong,I was looking forward to a really challenging flight, with lots of high winds etc, but didn't get any of them.Thanks,Fantastic program though, especially when run in conjunction with GE Pro and FE.

Hello.I was hoping you would answer a question for me regarding the Auto-Submit feature of ASV v6.After reading through the manual my understanding is that with the Auto-Submit feature checked the proper textures will be copied to the sim depending on the weather conditions.Going with the assumption that the above is correct, what needs to be done with the "Full Sky" and "Cirrus" Theme area? Anything? It seems as though if you have something in either of these fields those are the textures that will be used all of the time and not change if the weather changes.Am I missing something completely obvious here?Thanks!

I am a new user of Active Sky and am wondering if you can stack your own Metars in Wx Configurator? In other words, type in a Metar valid for 052130z, then another valid for 052145z etc, etc..Thank You

hi, i have reinstalled fs2004 and now want to reinstall as6, ihave purchased asv5 so do i just install that then the latest as6. thanks,jim

Hi, How does one incorporate thick billowy clouds into fs.09? I have gone into configuation with your graphics system and selected what I want.Active sky graphics, how do I get these to show in simulator? Your product is great.S.

Hello, LIMU weather conditions and resulting view, please look at the images.I had to set weather to "clear sky" to see "normally" afterwards.Any ideas?Thanks in advance.

Was wondering how wind changes affect aircraft indicated speed in FSX?Is it like FS9, where the IAS will jump instantly by large amounts when you enter a new area with a different wind? I understand that there is currently no way of 'smoothing' the wind transitions yet with FSX.I am hoping this is fixed somewhat, as it can get frustrating being told off by ATC for leveling off because the speed starts falling away due to wind changes.Thanks for any info.

I know that weather settings in FSUIPC should be cleared when running AS. I was hoping to restrict outside winds aloft and I do have that set in FSUIPC. However the winds continue at 100+. I guess the two don't work together at all. Am I correct?

I installed 6.5, which seemed to work in FSX, but then I came to run the game this moring, and a strange message came up in FSX when I tried to use realworld weather. It said there was an error with the internet connection. THere wasn't, I could still collect to the internet.I then tried FS9, same problem with realworld weather.I then tried Activesky, and it never completes downloading weather from hifi net. It says FS9 is active, and gives time and date, and the sky is clear in FS9, like it's waiting for the weather to be imported.I tried reinstalling (back to version 6), and reinstalling FSUIPC (I'm on 3.1, but tried later versions, all to no avail), but it hasn;t done …

Hi everybody,I have heard many different opinions on it, anyway I'm asking you which is the most correct procedure to get the best performance from AS6. I mean, I'm planning a flight (whatever flight) what I have to do? Opening first AS6 and import the flight plan, or open first FS2004 and load the flight plane and then run AS6?Hope it's clear. Thank youLorenzo

Hello: I recently purchased AS6, installed it and everything was fine. Then I uninstalled it and reinstalled it but now when I have FSX running AS says FS is not connected. I don't know what I did wrong but if someone has any ideas on how to correct this it would be much appreciated.Regards,Ron
