November 8, 200322 yr I have read all the threads with people who have problems with winds a loft when landing. I made the changes you suggested to other people.

November 8, 200322 yr Welcome to the forums. In AS I would turn off VATSIM METARs. Everything else looks good. What kind of problems are you having?Hope this helps,JimActiveSky Support
November 8, 200322 yr Thanks Jim,When ever I'm landing the winds aloft never change to the local winds at the airport. So I'm usually landing in winds of 30kts or more. I use FS9 and have the current version of ActiveSky.
November 8, 200322 yr OK,Use the FSUIPC that is supplied in AS.Are you forcing your destination airport on the main AS screen?Let me know how these work.Hope this helps,JimActiveSky Support
November 9, 200322 yr I tried what you suggested but that doesn't work. So I re-installed the program and made the suggested cahnges that were found in the read-me files. So now I'm starting from scratch maybe this will help. I attached on screen shot of my options page. I currently have the latest version of FSUIPC (3.11), so will the .ini file provided for FSUIPC work with this. Also, by checking the write to FS2004 box I get an error message now, saying error reading wxre.ini file, problem with offline file/folder. Below is a copy of my current .ini file for WXre://wxRE configuration file - be careful with edits here[General]WXREOfflinePath = C:Program FilesActiveSky wxREExportPath = C:Program FilesActiveSky wxREOperationMode = OnlineDefaultOfflineFile = defcycle02Z.wxdDisableCloudTransitions = FalseDisableMessages = FalseLowBandwidthWinds = FalseExportMetars = FalseAutoTimeZoneDetection = TrueMETARUpdateInterval = 15FDUpdateInterval = 45UpdateMETAROnNewStation = TrueUseShortTermTAF = FalseWindsAloftSimulation = TrueFS2004Writes = TrueIdlePriority = FalseVATSIMMetars = FalseDefaultForceRange = 80ZuluConversion = -6RainVisReduction = FalseOvercastHorizonVis = FalseDisableForceWindUpdates = FalseTAFProcessing = TrueWakeTurb = TrueDisableUpdatesWhenForced = FalseStartPaused = FalseCloudTransitionInterval = 30MinimumCloudThickness = 200UseSystemTime = TrueDisableCAVOKClouds = FalseProxyAddress = NONEProxyPort = 80FS2004Path = C:Program FilesMicrosoft GamesFS9
November 9, 200322 yr 1. Download a new set of Offline weather files.2. Change this line and make it true: DisableForceWindUpdates = False3. Tell me how you are forcing your destination airport.4. You saved your screen shot as a text file so all that shows up is the data, not the .jpg!5. Clear your FS2004Path. No need to use this unless you are running AS on a remote machine.6. The supplied FSUIPC.ini should work with any version.Hope this helps,JimActiveSky Support
November 11, 200322 yr Thanks for all your help. Just flow from KORD-KBDL and everything worked fine. No idea what change made it work but it did.
