Active Sky Error when starting up

Featured Replies

I have loaded FS2004, the newest and registered version of fsuipc, and the newest version of Active Sky 1.9. When I start up ActiveSky now, I am getting the error:winds get request-problem reading offline wx files-please check your files or re-download a new set.I have looked on previous threads but have not seen that error. What does it mean exactly and how do I fix it. Help would be great. Other than that, I really enjoy using the activesky product, to get weather more frequently than the default. One thing while I am here..will thunder only sound with the default weather generator on either 2002 or 2004. Or will it also sound using activesky? Just wondering that latter part.Thanks a bunch.N1022B

Hi,Did you try re-downloading a new set? That will usually fix it!Thunder will sound when there are thunderstorms present, FS2004 or FS2002! Hope that helps..-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

The trouble is..I don't know where to find "them". Meaning the new sets of winds. I am not sure I know what that means, or where to get them. If I knew, I would gladly download anew. Any help on that?

Under Options, click on "Auto-Download and Create New"Hope this helps,JimActiveSky Support
