Thanks for sending out this beta to all users.I didn't see any particular place to send reports so I am posting here. I d/led the c2 file and installed over wxRE 1.0. System isWin XP and 56K dial up using wideFS over TCP/IP to the FS2k2host (FSUIPC 2.975).Started wxRE with FS off. Went to offline and downloaded cycle09Z files. Appeared to be OK. Set cycle09Z for offline and went refresh. Got error message "Winds Get Request -- Problem reading offline wx files --please check files or redownload". METAR and TAF for DGAA good and also for force destination (PHKO) no winds aloft. Waited. Downloaded cycle10Z. Same result. Started flight sim and postioned at PHNL. Same result. (METAR and TAF good -- no winds aloft). Set online mode. appeared to function (winds aloft simulated but it appears WMO 91376 PKMJ is closest station to PHNL and that's a long ways away).scott s..

Scott,Did you receive the "Offline files ready.." message, or did the download attempt timeout?-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 Scott, can you please send me your cycle set (.wxd, .met, .taf, .wmo) and wxre.ini that this problem happens with? I'd like to take a look. Also please forward all beta bug reports and inquiries to [email protected] 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

Hi Damian,I completed a upload of the new update program from 1.6 to 1.7 beta. The load routine worked just as you had mentioned. I run AvctiveSky from a cable modem which is alway online. The METAR and the winds aloft loaded much better with this the update. I did get all the information on the panel about cycles. I had NO timeouts, the update seems to work at 100%There are as we discussed via email some details which I think you need to update in the manual when you revise it.Thanks for all the hard work. I think you deserve a break (grin)Bob

Damian, dunno if it might help,but if you have a Debug Setting for ASWXRe allowing to do a log-fileit might help to pin some errors or problems down in case they occur.Still have some hangups here with 1.6 sometime even though the hickup on weather updates isnt that enormous anymore as it was before.Maddy[p][link:www.maddys-tours.org][img http://www.maddys-tours.org/MaddysBannerEFFC.jpg][/p]Athlon 1GhzAsus K7VT512MB SDRAM PC133GF3 Ti200SB-LivePlatinumWinXP pro / Suse Linux 7.2DSL Connection 768kb/s down / 128kb/s upFS2002pro
