Hi all,If you have had any problems with wxRE not updating weather (including winds aloft and aloft/surface transitions) properly, FSUIPC v2.972 is confirmed to solve this. Please download the latest FSUIPC by Peter Dowson from http://www.schiratti.com/dowson.html.Thanks Peter!!-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 Damian,I assume the settings as described in the manual (based on 2.94) still apply, even for 2.972?Thx.Gideon

Damian,I recognized a "well known" behaviour of weather settings taken at Munich, Germany: the current station should have been 'EDDM' instead of 'ETSE', which was prefered by wxRE.Could you please fix it in 1.60?

Hi,Can you please try deleting the ETSE entry in icao.txt and see if this works as you now expect? Is the problem that ETSE is incorrectly listed as closer than EDDM when it is not? -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

That's correct.'ETSE' is a small military airfield near Munich and is declared with a distance of 7nm, 'EDDM' is shown as a distance of 13nm :-hmmmAfter deleting 'ETSE' in the icao.txt, EDDM will be shown properly.

Hi Chris..Thanks for the info. It looks like the lat/lons are a little off for these airports.. If you get a moment can you send me the correct lat/lon for EDDM and ETSE? I will fix for the update. Thank you very much!-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

Surely...I've taken these values from "FSNavigator" and compared it to the values of "SCC".Here we are:EDDM -> N48

Even when I change the Weather settings the fog is coming back after a few minutesI did upgrade FSUIPC to the latest version without success.Any recommendations?EmileEBBR Brussels

Hi are you using VATSIM downloads? If so, there is a known problem here - fix due very soon. You can temporarily uncheck the VATSIM option and use NOAA wx, which rarely differs from VATSIM.-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
