Hi,In terms of performance how much heavy is the 512x512 resolution? And what set of clouds you recommend?Thanks In AdvanceRegardsTunka

Here is a cut and paste from my post on the Radar Contact Forum. They thought it might be interesting to bring it up here to see if any other ASV6 and Radar Contact 4 users run into the problem of destination ATIS announcing "sky clear" despite overcast being reported via the METAR"This is the second flight where the wx per ASV 6 is overcast at the destination, but ATIS reports sky clear. Got the winds and runway and altimeter correct.I am not using online wx updates, so the wx at the destination remained the same the entire flight.Gregat what point did you get your weather from rc?show me the asv metar linejdabout 60 to 70 miles out for the first reportHere is the METAR:…

Hi all,When I installed AS6 on my other PC (non FS) it obviously does not create the AS6 directories on my FS PC in the modules folder which I guess it would not do unless I installed it on the FS PC? It creates a "basefolder" or something like that on the non FS PC....Is this normal? I know about sharing the folders, so in the install of AS6 do I point it at the mapped FS PC drive to, which is shared or is that no correct if so point it to the below during the install?!X: program files/microsoft games/flight sim 9/modules/asv6 Or am I doing it wrong?Could someone give me an insight to the correct install via WideFS?!ThanksMark

Hi, Recently I just reinstalled flightsim and ever since I've been getting quite bad performance when running Activesky 6. In ASG, I have set the cloud resolution to 256x256 and I'm also using DXT3 textures and prior to reinstalling flightsim I didn't encounter many performance problems. Evene when flying through very rough weather I found myself getting very good framerates. Since reinstalling though, flightsim performance has gone down drastically. My framerate traget is set on 25fps and I get this before starting up Activesky6, but when I do start it up, the framerates go down to between 10-15fps. I would appreciate some help on this issue. And please don't reply that …

Hi, I just updated my AS6+G and am unable to download weather so i'm hoping that this is just a coincidence and the server is down or something?Thanks,Jeff

Hi,i see in "most realistic visuals using ASv6" that we all are free to make our selections.Now my questions:1) which are best settings for realism? (checkboxes and values)2) as per suggestion i have FSUIPC Weather Settings OFF; what about the 5th checkbox (FSUIPC Wind Smoothing Control)?Thanks in advance for helpingLuigi ;-)

When AS updates the weather (writes new data to disk), I now have clouds appearing and disappearing instantly. This didn't happen with ASv5e. I would only get the "screen blink" when new data was written to disk.Any helpful hints?http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v705/ec0101/asv6.jpg

Hi all,GREAT Thanks to AS Team! I do appreciate all what you do for the whole simulation community! However, I'm a bit confused since the last update 1C has gone public.1. If 1C is available, where are the previous updates, i.e. 1A & 1B are, if any? Did I miss something?2.

I know your position relative to the relationship between ASv6 and CTD's and other problems, but I'm one of those folks having a problem that seems to exist only when using ASv6. I've been tearing my hair out (not really) trying to track it down. I can't say that not using ASv6 completely eliminates the problem, but my experience so far is that this is true. But, having used ActiveSky since the WxRE days, I can't envision being without it.My system: Athlon 4200+ dual core, Nvidia Nforce 4 chipset, ATI Radeon X800XL video card, 1 GB OCZ RAM, Creative Soundblaster Audigy sound card, etc.I have several other add-ons -- Ultimate Terrain, FSG mesh, FlyTampa KSEA, and lots …

Hi thereSorry if this has been answered elsewhere but I have looked and just need some final confirmationI have the AVS6 upgrade version installed on FS2004I properly uninstalled AVS 5 ,I also unstalled the cloudpacks from the earlier version Is that right to remove them or does ASV6 require them even on the intial fresh installThanks and RegardsGregNZCOASTER

When running AS6 with WidefsWhen going into AS6 and options when it asks for the path at the bottom of that window as I am running it on a non fs PC what should this path be??Thanks againMark

Hi All,Since release of ASv6 there have been a number of these Support requests dealing with this message. But until I just saw a screen shot of the problem I had totally forgot about the reason.Users, If you are seeing this message in the Windows Toolbar then we know what you are seeing. For some unknown reason there is a communication blockage and the Toolbar message stays the same. This does not mean that ASv6 is disconnected! After some time the message may change.The only place to look is at ASv6 itself, in the Fetch A Report window. If that window has no disconnect message, then you are good. Hope this helps,Jimhttp://www.hifisim.comhttp://sales.hifisim.com/pub-down…

Hi there,i usually fly changing FS time/hour with Offline Sequence Playback.Now which settings should i use in "DYNAMICS" section?Which check should be on? i have set 1-2 OFF and 3-4-5 ON: is that correct?thxLuigi ;-)

Hello,I have the feeling that these stutters that I have when the weather is updated are more important in Full Screen mode than in Window mode.Any recommendation?Thanks in advance

I was flying in the Seattle area around 08:00 pm local time on January 5, 2006. As I understand it, the Zulu date/time is 060400Z. However, when ActiveSky 6 downloaded the weather (in online mode), it said that the active weather is 310350 and the closest reporting station is reporting 310256.Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't this make it weather from the 31st (of whatever month) at 0256?Thanks.

I have ASV6 installed on a seperate PC running WideFS along with SB3 and Servinfo. ASV6 updates weather fine it's just that when I try to run ASG I get the following error " The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135) Click on OK to terminate the application" I have .net 1.1 installed on the WideFS and .Net 2.0 on the FS9 PC.I have reinstalled ASV6 and have the SP1 update installed also.Any ideas wil be greatly appreciatedHenry Adam UAL3072

Hi all,I am not sure if I have my settings right for auto submit. I want everything to be as real as I can get based on weather conditions. I dont want to manually or randomly select my own textures.I load a flight plan into ASV6 so I can get the proper clouds based on weather conditions.I have Auto-submit checked onI have wx-influenced selected for both Full sky theme and Cirrus theme.In the activesky Graphics program,Catagory:Sky themes is selected to wx-influenced under preview windowSky theme:WX-Influenced3D Clouds, Cirrus clouds, sky color and Enviorment are selected to Custom.Have I got this right?Thanks a bunch,

Hi guys,How do people go about installing or running ASG on the main FS PC and AS6 on the other? Is this possible??I think i tried it but it did not work. Do ASGraphics work when running the program on the non FS PC. I think i got this to work a couple of days ago in fact....Thanks & great program!Mark

Hi, I posted this issue in the SU1 topic but couldn't reply to it for some reason. I've looked around for similar topics about this but none of which have helped me with my problem. Like I said in the SU1 topic, when AS6 refreshes it causes my framerates to drop right down to as low as 3-5 fps for a period of around 5 seconds. This even happen below the suppression altitude of 20,000ft I set in the options panel of AS6. Any help on this is appreciated please.Cheers,James

OK, I ran AS 2004.5 & ASV and both ran well with neither usually adding much load to my system beyond what would be expected for clouds and the weather being depicted. I have a pretty decent system (P4 3.4HT, x800xt 256MB PCI-e, RAID 0 array) and have my FPS set to 30 as the upper limit. Normally I would get high 20s - 30 FPS. After upgrading to ASV6, I seem to take an immediate 10 - 15 fps hit the minute I load it. I can run lots of clouds with broken and overcast ceilings and rain with the default weather, and I still get very high fps in the upper 20s to near 30 fps. All I have to do is start up ASV6 and fps not only drop on average, but seem to wildly fluctua…

Hi,Belive this has been discussed before but what exactly is the reason the download process is so slow when downloading online weather when FS is not started compared to when FS is already running? It's a HUGE difference and lately I've been downloading the weather before I start FS to have ASv6 update all textures with the wx-influenced theme but it get's a bit annoying to have to sit and wait for this download before every flight. Of course not a big problem, just wish it would be as fast as it is when FS is already running...

Hi There,1st, sorry for my english. I will try....There is a funny thing that happen with a overcast layers (no ovc too). When in ground, the sky is completely closed, but, after take off, and pass for this layer, I can see the airport behind me. The reverse is same. Full visual, but when pass for layer, not see more the airport.Anyone??? hugs.
