FSMax only works with version 5.2 of FS Meteo.

Well, it should work with FSMeteo 5.2 or FS2002 default weather. Wish I could help.Alex

I seem to remember that you could fix these problems by loading up the weather page in fs2002 a second time. For example, start your flight, select weather, etc. Then when everything is ready go back into the weather page again and just hit ok. I thought this bug was fixed in 1.2 though. If not you could try the new beta version which fixes a few problems:http://www.fsflightmax.com/downloads/beta/fmax131a.zipIt is only beta though so use it at your own risk. I haven't tried it yet myself.If that doesn't work try the official support forums at http://www.fsflightmax.com/

Howdy Mauro,When you set up your thunderstorms, make sure you set it up with heavy rain. The radar won't pick up just clouds if it is not raining, which I see you have done in your screenshot. Make sure though, that you set up a few storms 25 miles or so away from you. If you just set up your weather at your location only, the radar may not pickup the rain if it is right on top of you. Also make sure the weather you set up is in front of you or not over about 60 or 70 degrees to the side of you. You may have to fly and circle around until your radar antenna picks up the echos from the rain. Try clicking Local, in your weather setup rather than global. Sometimes this helps if you are creating the weather yourself. I don't use FS Meteo myself, so can't help in that direction. I know FSFliteMax works very well for me with the real weather download, or if I create my own weather. FliteMax always shows it for me.Go to the FliteMax forum they have a lot of information about using FS Meteo there. There are links to that forum in some of the other posts, so I will not repeat the link here.Hope this helps some, Good Luck

Mauro,Looking at your screenshot I see that the radar is set to Down 12.00 Deg. Sitting on the runway it will not pick up the weather. It is pointing down at the ground. If you want to see the weather while on the ground you have to point it up. When you are airborne you point it straight or down. Try that and see what happens. maxsdad

does the wx radar work w/ vatsim weather?http://events8.tripod.com/pilot_tag.JPG

You may want to check out your FSUIPC, i noticed that my FlightMax WX radar stopped working after I installed an old version of FSUIPC. I imagine that if yours is outdated or before the version required to run FlightMax FSMeteo wouldn't work. Simple solution, but a lot of the time it solves my FlightMax problems.Scott
