Great news Damian however the link to emetrix isn't correct so I'm not able to purchase the upgrade :(Andr

Hi Andr

Thanks Damian :-)Andr

Damian link is still not correct refers to simmarket and not to emetrix :(Andr

Hi,Simmarket is the only one doing the distribution of AS2004. You must order from SimMarket, and simply have wxRE installed on your system to make the verification work.Damian ClarkHiFi Simulation SoftwareDeveloper of ActiveSkyhttp://www.hifisim.comhttp://www.hifisim.com/images/as2004betateam.jpg

Ok thanks ;-)Andr

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt

So far so good.. Got 150kb a sec on the download..So far on first flight seem to be pulling down outdated metars.KMDW 182153Z 29011KT 10SM BKN018 OVC200 M03/M07 A2990 RMK AO2 SLP141 T10331072 That should be latest.. But AS2004 is pulling down.KMDW 120153Z 30010KT 10SM FEW012 M08/M12 A3012 RMK AO2 SLP217 But still its like playing with a new toy.. Should probably work on getting the radar and such setup into panel.. :)

Few more slaps to the Refresh button has brought up the newer info..

Yeah, noticed that after posting msg.. :)That and TAF's aren't checked by default..

Damian:Congratulations on the release of AS2004!I just tried to purchase from SimMarket, but my original purchase was not recognized. Thus, my $10 discount did not appear at final checkout. Consequently, I aborted the purchase.Not sure what the next step is to try to assure recognition of my original purchase.Any help will be appreciated,Wilson
