Hi Damian,I still have those serious stutters during the weather updates. They only happen for a short time but still sometimes it is getting really annoying. My system is fairly fast and I never experienced this with the other weather program.Did you found the cause of this already?Thx,Alex

Hi Alex!Some known causes of stutters:- Resource overload - too many programs running- Certain versions of FSUIPC on certain machines - suggest trying 2.94 to test.(ignore the error message at wxRE startup)- ADVDISP 1.94 (earlier).. must use ADVDISP 1.94 (latest build) www.schiratti.com/dowson.html- Problematic add-ons- Sound card issues, try reducing accelleration in DXDIAG- Video card/driver issues, try updating to latest version- Firewall configuration- Antivirus/software firewall configurationHave you tried "Force IDLE priority"? Does this help?Please check the above, and let me know if this helps...

>- ADVDISP 1.94 (earlier).. must use ADVDISP 1.94 (latest >build) www.schiratti.com/dowson.html Should it not be 1.97 (earlier).. must use ADVDISP 1.97 (latest build)?

Hi Damian,too many programs could well be a possibility as well as problematic add-ons. All the other things you mentioned are checked already.The add-ons that are running in the background are:AOL 7.0 + Active Sky onlineFSReliabilityFSGarminFSNavTrackIRand lots of GoFlight units as well as 3 Monitors.But still these were running flawlessly with the other weather program. . Maybe ActiveSky is the problematic add-on after all :-). I will check, what happens if I only run ActiveSky without any other add-ons but of course this is not the route I want to go. If nothing helps I will buy a fourth monitor and hook AS up via WideFS.Alex

Hi Patrick.. yes thanks for the catch..!!This should read 1.97.-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

Hi Alex,Well let's not compare add-ons please... wxRE is doing far more in it's processing than any other weather add-on that I know of. Have you tried turning off wake turbulence? Do you have lots of AI? This requires quite a bit of overhead - it has to process all AI aircraft. Also, you may want to try "Surpress all turbulence" in FSUIPC - there is a known problem where SOME systems are affected by turbulence and AI aircraft.-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

Thx Damian,I will first try to disable wake turbulance. While it is a great feature, in reality it does no apply to often anyway. Because yes, I have a lot of AI planes flying. If that dooesn't help I'll go for the WideFS solution.Alex
