Hi guys, how can I make the METAR Download Transition more slowy, because when I use ActiveSky and I'm flying to get in another airport my frame goes down like to 5 or 3 frames when the program is downloading the METAR for that airport or area, I just download the FSUIPC 2.97, but how is have to be the settings for better performance, thanks and sorry for my english, im spanish, but I need help !!!:-luke

Hi,You can do some things to increase performance:- Close any other applications you don't need- Disable virus protection- Make sure you have the latest FSUIPC 2.972- Turn down FS sliders- Try force idle priority option in wxRE- Try increasing FS2002 priority (via task manager) to HIGHAlso note that the freeware ActiveSky is lower performance than wxRE...Let me know if that helps..

Thanks for your prompt respond, but please let me now how can I turn down the FS Sliders, and increasing FS2002 priority to high via task manager.And I using the freeware ActiveSky version, please let me now and thanks again, regards.

Hi by sliders I mean the FS2002 graphics settings, turn them down a bit.You can also increase the METAR update interval so it updates less frequenty. The freeware version isn't as optimized as wxRE (thus one solution for better performance is to purchase wxRE).
