Sergio,Thanks for writing, but don't wait to write if you have a problem. That's why we are here. Where on the Options page are you placing the -5 number? It should go in the bottom-left box called Time Zone/UTC Conversion. Also check the box Automatic Time Zone Detection. Save the changes and refresh your weather. If this doesn't fix it please write back.Hope this helps,JimActiveSky Support

Hi Jimthat was fast, :DAutomatic Time Zone Detection is checked and the Time Zone/UTC Conversion is where I have been placing the -5.The thing is that in the Hour for dowload box no matter wich hour I write or leaving it blank it will give me a 5 on that box when I click on autodownload.... the hour that I wish will only stay just in offline mode when I click to create....Sergio,

Hi Sergio,Are you using wxRE in ONLINE mode? If so, this is normal.. you can only select the hour for offline cycle sets.. not online. Online mode is for 'real-time' latest weather only.

Hi damian, yeah is online modeI download the set right but then switch it to offline so I can get offline and fly with the downloaded set, but the thing is while im online right I request the METAR it says the correct hour. But, then I choose offline so Ican use the new set; I request the METAR and says 05But anyways is pretty good ACTIVE SKY 2 thumbs up....but I think is downloading the correct weather by reading your post...THANKS :D

OK, I think I know what is going on here, but correct me if I am wrong.1. Online mode works just fine. Your times are correct and METARS show the correct time.2. When downloading a weather set, the time shows up correct.3. A switch to Offline Mode causes the METAR time to be wrong. (always 5)If these three statments are true, then here is my idea of what is going on:In Offline mode the user selects the METAR time that should be used. It is not automaticly done by AS, FS, or your computer. Am I right here Offline users and/or Damian? I NEVER use Offline Mode, but I just now tried to figure this out for myself.You do all this by manually selecting the expcycleXXZ.wxd file you wish to use.Hope this helps,JimActiveSky Support
