Hi There, I am using Active Sky WXRE with FS9. I am noticeing that with my addon aircraft from PSS the autoflight system does not function. I am not sure if this is a problem with PSS or with Hi-Fi, so I am posting this message in both forums. I can manually fly the aircraft, but when trying to use autothrust, or autoflight the systems just do not work. The instant I unload WXRE, and clear the weather the aircraft work flawlessly. Any insight would be appreciated. Regards, Michael

I have this problem with a reg version. Whenever I use the Online (live) to get the weather I keep getting this error message, "cloud layer conflict in metar, skipping transition," but, when I use the Ofline method everything is ok. How can I fix this?

Before i reformmated i never had this "urier" thing show up on the free version, now i do -how does one get rid of it ? >Looked on the forum but see no similar problem with other people---Thanks Louis

Please explain, why ActiveSky uses the EGKG metair which is 11 miles away, rather than EGLC when one is at London City Airport, which is a far bigger aerodrome?Bob

I recently purchased Active Sky and have upgraded to 1.91. 1) Will purchasing a license for FSUIPC do anything to improve my Active Sky experience? If so, what?2) How do I get a more gradual change in the weather from station to station. The clouds just pop up instantly. I have all the recommended settings correct (dynamic weather off, clouds at 100%, etc)Thanks in advance.

Hi,Is it possible to get windshear in FS2004 approaches ?If FSUIPC winds smooth is ON, shouldn't the winds change slowly so no windshear ?Thanks,Ulisses

I give up! I want to remove all and start over! I've had it with "error reading .ini check your ini file".But where is the 1.0 version available for download that I need with the 1.91 update? I have the registration info from long ago.Edit: Tell me where to get the registration info. It appears I have lost that too when I deleted the program folder after uninstalling everything.Thank youLarry Jones

Hi,Why when overcast I can see the ground and even low visibility I can see the approach lights at distance ? Any setting to improve this ?Thanks,Ulisses

Just wondering if anyone else experiences the following.First things first:With the release of the official 1.91, I uninstalled all versions including betas with the Add/Remove programs panel. Reinstalled version 1.0 and then updated to 1.91.I use the fsuipc.ini file provided with AS. The only thing changed was calibrating my yoke and pedals. Using the latest 3.07 fsuipc version.Here's what happens:Usually when the weather changes the plane has a tendancy to jerk left and right, sometimes pretty violently. Then it goes through 3 to 5 transitions (clouds, visibility, etc.) rather abruptly before finally settling down. No transitions seem gradual at all.The only thing chang…

Has anyone been flying in the vicinity of North Carolina and Virginia?Whats the Hurricane like in FS9 using Active Sky 1.9? Are there any significant accuracy's as the real world situationI'm at work for another 20mins and it looks like I'm missing all the fun... ThanksTroy

I using the latest version of AS. I keep getting the same error "Cloud layer Conflict in Metar Skipping Transistion" and it stays stuck on this. While flying thru Isabela weather clears up all of a sudden then low visiblity.Bill M

Hi,Can anyone help please. I've just purchased ActiveSky wxRE v1.87 and everything is working OK except the Flightwatch voices.If I tune to 122.00, I get the messages scrolling across the screen in text but no voice.I've had a look in "ActiveSky/Voice" folder and have the two sub folders "Voice1" and "Voice2" containing all the .wav files, which play through windows media player if I click on them. I have also turned the windows volume up to max and turned down other flightsim sounds.Any help would be appreciated.Regards,pete

Hi,When ending out game, which one is correct?1. Quit ActiveSky first, then FS2002.2. Quit FS2002, then ActiveSky.Thanks!TCC

DamianI have tweaked ActiveSky 1.91 and FSUIPC 3.07 as per your documentation and still get inconsistent weather that is downloaded and what is being presented in FS2004. It appears that winds and altimeter settings are being sent to FS2004 but clouds are not being set properly. Typicaly when first starting a flight, all looks good with clouds, wind and altimeter but shortly after takeoff clouds disappear without any kind of transitioning and all correct representation of real life weather is lost. I look out my window and see overcast but with ActiveSky and FS2004 all is clear and the ground is visable? "See attached file for example of weather" If you and anyone elso co…

Is there any documentation regarding the newest upgrade of Active Sky(1.9)?.I see a number of new options have been added but can't seem to find the docs to esplain them. Also,how to conform it with the newest version of FSUIPC.Thanks for any assistance.Roger Hollands

Hi guys i did fiqure out the fs2004 cannot and ini error..Here's my ini file hope it helps..There's one thing that we may have overlooked and that is the option for fs9 on active sky.There are (2) options in activesky"wx export Path and "fs2004 path"AS Damian stated make sure that you use a network drv letter I.E (Z:/)..Here's a copy of my ini file Damian could also take a look making sure that iam sending the write info..Good luck guys and holla if u need help with networking..RONNIE AKA ALPHA37

Hello Damian (and all others ;-) ) ,I've been using the freeware AS versions for almost as long as I had FS 2002, and now that I got FS9 I finally went ahead and purchased the full version via SimMarket. Now, having heard that you are already busily working on version 2 I was wondering whether you might yet have made any decisions on the terms under which AS 1.9x full version users will be able to upgrade to version 2. Will you handle this as a mere "upgrade" as you did within the 1.x version range, or will we have to make any additional purchases to obtain AS 2?Cheers :D ,

Anyone found a fix for errors "cannot detect fs2004 and the ini file yet?I hate to mess with my registry,anyone knows if a fix..Would like to know.I do get echoes using activesky and flightmax,but jsut cannot enable the fs write..Any suggestions?ALPHA37

Which of the boxes on the FS9 weather setup page should I check when using WXre?

Fellow pilots,Today I started to check out AS2002 freeware version. Adjusted the FSUIPC (2.975) settings but... no surfacewinds on take off and landing. The METAR line however indicates that there should be surfacewinds. When I change to the standard FS weather, the correct surfacewinds are present.Can someone help me out on this one please?Regards,Michel Cranefeld

With the upcoming release of Activesky 2 and it's inclusion of a wx radar in .gau format (I did read that right, eh?), is this gauge going to have a 'border' around it, or will it just be a movable gauge, able to place in any aircraft?Am I wrong about the Wx Radar being in .gau format?

It seems like I followed detailed instructions in the readme file attached to the latest update.I inserted the root location of my FS9 folder into the WxRE options window. The location of WxRE is also correct.Weather gets downloaded, displayed in the WxRE box but does not interact with FS9 for some reason. The outcome is the weather does not change.Recommended options are also in place - clear weather in FS options, no dynamic change, clouds to 100%, etc.Looking forward to your comments,Dom
