Hi all, we have one report of a user who is getting certain "lockup" issues with wxRE that have not been reported before. If you could take a look at this post and let us know if you have the same problem it would be much appreciated!---------Happened most recently last weekend on a flight from Amsterdam to Salzburg.All the way over Germany (so not one reporting station) Activesky would lock up (start consuming 100% CPU time). Killed AS and restart, and it will lock again after a few minutes (so probably while processing the next downloaded weather cycle).Running ActiveSky with visibility reduction turned off, TAF forecasting (dynamic stuff) off, FSFM export on (but no FSFM running at the time).For the rest I think it's all the installation defaults.Windows 2000Pro (latest patchlevel), FSUIPC 2.96 or 2.97 that day (but happened with 2.96 certainly before that).Was flying the PSS A321 at about FL330.Problems don't start until coming in range of German reporting stations (Schiphol, Soesterberg and other Dutch stations work fine) and affect Austrian stations as well it seems (or the weather I got there was from German stations just over the border, can't remember).I'm at work now so not at my FS PC. Will post more data if I find it, will try another flight over Germany tonight (if you want a specific route to hit certain stations please tell me).Hardware P4-1.6, 1024MB RAM, GF2Ti 64MB, about 30GB harddiskspace free over 6 disks.[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 have the same kind of "lockup or freeze" a few minutes after the start of the FS2002 PRO , WxRE. This freeze takes 1 or 2 minutes afterwards all seams running OKI can report it like this :- the sim freezes, sound continues- no more pointer- After a few seconds : pointer back , can move but no effect- I move the pointer to the botton of the window (where I have the "minimized" applications, when I move the pointer from 1 to an other minimized a small WHITE box appears and remains- When several white boxes are present , the "sand glass" shows up and all is stuck for 1 are 2 minutesafterwards Video card seams to reload the scenery and all OKConfigPIV 2,4 1 Giga memory, XP Pro, GF4 TI4600Any recommendationS?RegardsEmileEBBR

Hi,Does operation ever continue? If so, sounds like an internet connection problem with Online mode. Can you confirm this? Try connection to www.aviationweather.gov and check out the Standard Brief, METAR and TAF links - see if you can get some reports without timeouts. Let me know. Thanks!-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
