    Hi.I have a problems, not allways with constant sttutering.I tried same route online and offline (without stuttering).When online (not allways) I have got sttutering. Available Physical memory was the approx the same in both cases online&offline (350Mb) But CPU usage was 40-70% (online) and 15% (offline).What can cause this. And is it Memory Leak connected with CPU usage???ThanksP.S. I'm using last version of ASV

    Can I get Active Sky in operation for local flying rather than with a full flight plan?? In other words, if staying around KTUS, I want realistic weather conditions. Possible, and if so, how do I set up?? Many thanks, B42L8:)

    First.... superb software and support, I've purchased every version up to the latest.I have never yet prevented the, sometimes large, pressure setting changes despite setting the smoothing options in FSUIPC (registered) to 1 mb every 3 seconds... even tried 1 mb every 10 seconds.I was flying across the pond yesterday and several times my altitude had an instant change between 120 and 300 feet. Taking the worst case thats a pressure change of 30 mb in an instant!Is it possible to; if standard pressure of 1013 is set then disable any pressure changes, or toggle on/off, if local QNH is standard. The same also goes for visibility smoothing.... that never works either.

    Hello to the Active Sky Crew.....For the past few weeks I have been noticing a strange tendency for AS6 to place cirrus layers UNDER mid level Cumulus clouds. In real life I don't believe this occurs, and this seems very unrealistic to me. To be honest, I don't know when this started because I haven't changed anything with AS since build 470. I am running Build 470 with an Athlon 3200/1.5 gig RAM/ATI 9800 pro dual Seagate Barracuda HDs in RAID 0 config.Anybody else seeing this and can this be fixed?Thanks........J Swier

    Hi.I'm an ASv6 "Newbe" and I like it alot.When I fly with online real weather updates at areas where there is cludinnes, I get BIG beautifull comulus clouds (if indeed these conditions exist at that time in that area)However - when I try to duplicate this situation manually for off-line(by using the Wx configurator) I get much smaller comulus - no matter what coverege I set on the METAR sintax (I.E 2/8 - 7/8).I must say that other than turning on-line updated off, I don't change any of the settings for ASV and ASG and they stay the same as they was for on-line updates.My question: how can I control the size of the clouds manually?Is there any other way to control the WX o…

    Hi, While downloaded weather is obviously the greatest way to make your skies look incredible, sometimes I just don't get the right runways open for arrivals/departures in FS9, due to FS9's inherent quirks. So, often I like to just pick the appropriate looking cloud parameters in ASG to match the sky in my area, and go flying. When I get in the sim, I go to advanced weather and add the layers, temps, vis, etc.. This gives me better control in matching real world runway operations for the given day....but it seems I am having problems setting multiple wind layers. I can set them in the weather options, but they never are active past the first layer in the sim. Is there an…

    I have the software installed and have checked all my settings with a friend whose ASV6 works perfectly. My FSUIPC is the latest version and registered however try as I might I cannot get the weather to load in FS2004. I wait for the blue sky to change and nothing happens - when I toggle to ASV6 it tells me that "AS is paused - refresh to start processing". If I refresh it loads the weather for KSEA which used to be my default flight. I have been through my FS2004 and FSUIPC settings and these are both as they should be.Can someone help please - after 2 hours of trying I am getting nowhere?ThanksNigel

Obviously very frustrating on a long flight.I fairly sure it post service update. and I have never had it happen without act sky running. I also have a vague idea it may do with fs9 when fs9 pauses for some reason ( it is set to do so at top of decent) I know this is vague but wonder if anyone else has had similar probs.Mike

Then it says "The feature you are tyring to use is on a network resource that is unavailable." Then, "Click OK to try again or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package "Active Sky version 6 and ACTIVESKY Graphics.msi in the box below.""
