I downloaded the ActiveSky V1.5 for the FS2002 and I am confused as to if the V1.15 update is designed for this version of ActiceSky. When I ty to install it, I get a message saying thatgI first need to install any version ActiveSky.I like the way ActiveSky works/looks over the default weather in FS2002 but the constant pausing of the simulation while the new weather is loading while on approach is bugging me. My computer is not all that slow as it is a P4 2.2GHz with 512 Mb of 2700DDR memory and a GeForce 4600. Also the fact that ATC starts me toward one runway and then will change runways just prior to touchdown. Is there a way to set the program up to "Not" decide at the last minute I am being vectored to the wrong runway?Terry

Hi,ActiveSky V1.5 is the freeware version of AS.The V1.15 update is for ActiveSkywxRE the payware version.Revisions to v1.15 (from v1.1)- Fixed visibility problem where visibility would drop to 0 when P6SM vis was encountered (via Dynamic METAR creation by TAF processing)- Enhanced OFFLINE cycle download process for additional coverage- Fixed Italian Time processing bug (affected TAF processing and Use System Time options)- Added option to prevent all METAR wind updates when in FORCE mode (for consistent landing runway via ATC)This last option will interest you.

Patrick, Thanks for the information. If I went with the "Pay ware" version, would that get rid of the constant pauses as the cable modem updates the new weather? I set the options as per the manual and if I made some adjustments there would that help make the pauses not so noticeable?Terry

I don't have a "pause" when my cable modem updates with it and I share the line with 4 others!Best Wishes,Randy J. [email protected]" A little learning is a dangerous thing"

Any suggestions on how to eliminate the pauses when the ActiveSky searches/downloads the new station? (wx)When the ActiveSky window opens/starts, the block for updating the FDs is blank and I have been checking it to get the program to update the weather along the route. Might this be causing the pauses (1-3 seconds) as the new FD is loaded?Terry

Hi Terry wxRE is much more advanced in the performance department! -Damian[table border=0" cellspacing="30" cellpadding="0][tr][td align = "left"]Damian ClarkHiFi Simulation SoftwareDeveloper of ActiveSkyThe next-generation weather environment simulation for FS2002!http://hifi.avsim.net/activesky[/td][td]http://hifi.avsim.net/activesky/images/wxrebeta.jpg][/td][/tr][/table://http://hifi.avsim.net/activesky/ima...][/tr][/table
