    Hello, I'm considering purchasing Widefs for its capability for using support programs vroute, Acars, vipilot etc on a client computer. I was wondering if ASN is supported with this. If so how could I install/activate on my client laptop. Please forgive my rookie questions. Just really searching for answers to see if it would work. Really hoping that this aids in me flying FSX full screen on VATSIM. Thanks ROMAN78

    Greetings, just installed P3D v 2.2 hours ago, downloaded the latest Active Sky Next and ran the setup. Specifically this one: Full Version / Trial version B5210, size 116MB directly from the HiFi website. Windows 7 is on C-drive. FSx is installed on its own D-drive. P3D is installed on its own E-drive. ASN works perfectly with FSX. However ASN comes up with the following error when I load up P3D: ASN cannot control ambient weather parameters correctly, thus it cannot function properly at this point and will shut down. Please make sure you have proper rights/ownership of the program files (x86) folder and have trusted/excluded ASN from your securiy soft…

    I have just un-installed FSX re-installed FSX SE. In the process I have re-installed ASN, GSX and EZDok. Shortly after the ASN install, I had problems with EZDok not starting. The problem was traced to the EXE.XML file, which was corrupted. I manually edited it and got things running, only to have it happen again. Then I noticed that ASN runs some kind of ASNConnect app when starting, and I'm wondering if this could have anything to do with the EXE.XML problem. This time I can't even find the EXE.XML file. Any ideas?

    Nobody answered on the HiFi forum so here I am. ( FSX STEAM ) Version : B5540 ( FSX STEAM BETA VERSION ) Hi Guys this will be long. I tested the ASN Demo and then bought the paid one. Amazing it was for the first few days! Yep. Few Days.Right after installing it yesterday I thought of doing a flight from Bergen - London City. So I revved up FSX and plopped myself at one of the gates at Bergen with the PMDG 737-600. The weather was Inclement. Rain and a lot of clouds.I started taxiing turned on the WX Radar and was on my way. But then suddenly at about FL030 the sim crashed. This was the start of the end, Maybe. After this I did a ton of flight testing this out and …

    HI folks, I have installed P3D V2.5.12944.0 with ASN3PD 1.0.5410.16349 and keep getting the ambient weather error. Can read/write all directories over the network and when initially connected is says P3D Connected. I have allowed ports and excludes and have tried this with and without firewall and scanning running. Any simple instructions for simple people? Losing the will to fly here and considering binning ASN altogether. Thanks in advance. S

    I bought AS2012 today as I wanted to get a more realistic experience. I installed it, and going through a tutorial on YouTube, i imported my flight plan from KPHX to KSFO for a test flight. After processing, the program showed wind speeds of up to 127 knots and temperatures of as low as-80, which is completely wrong for Arizona/California weather. When I go to WX report and type in KPHX, it shows temp of 19 and wind of 10, which is correct. What am I doing wrong?

    Every time I start FSX and try to start a new flight, I tune in to 122.0 to get the weather and I find the audio is not working. I have narrowed it down to ASN itself after troubleshooting. I have even gotten an error that it could not find the audio devices and to shut it down one time when using the "scan for audio devices button". It showed the correct device though. I have only recently started having this problem. I recently updated Microsoft Visuals to the latest ones to try and solve a FSX CTD I've been having during view changes. This has only started since then. No matter what I do I can not get it to go through the headphones 4/5 times. When I click the test…

In the PMDG 777 during a major Thunderstorm and still get 40+ FPS on the ground with ASN running I have to cut the clouds to 1024,lower the traffic to 15%, and set the max cloud layers to 3 just to get 30 fps on an ok weather day if the weather is bad its down in the 20s. I know this isnt bad FPS but what on earth is happening to kill my FPS! I know that FSX in DX10 mode runs AA on all the clouds but like I said I can still manage 40+FPS if ASN isnt making the weather even on an overcast day with the sam…

    Hi All, Something I have never really payed any attention to until today. In the Active sky next, visibility settings, the two - Maximum surface visibility and maximum upper visibility. I was just wondering what the realistic settings for these would be ? Especially i live in Australia and do most of my flying in Australia, so settings that would resemble the Australian airspace ect Thanks in advance

    I read through the manual and find nothing really about how cloud thickness works. Is the higher the number, less visibility or vice versa?

    Hello! Lately, and in almost every flight I have black squares on the sky. Sometimes only as I leave the arrival airport, sometimes during the most part of the journey. These black squares come and disappear after a while or they stay for longer periods of time. When I disconnect AS next, these squares also disappear. Is there anyone that could help? I suppose that could have to do with the settings of AS Next. Thank you Dimitris

  25. Hi all. I have done a new install of ASN having used initially REX then Opus and now trying ASN. I also have REX texture direct, REX essentials OD and REX soft clouds. I have now had two instances of thunder and lightning with fair weather cumulus clouds being displayed. I have posted on the ASN general forum and also the support forum but I have had no replies as yet, so I thought I'd ask here incase anyone else has come across this. Both flights were in the UK.
