Hi There,Sorry for the delay in response, things have been a little busy around here....Give me a day or two, I will put together a list of NZ stations that AS2004 uses as well as the "pseudo-stations" that exist in FS9, which AS2004 generates weather for using other nearby station data...

Hi Damian,I am pretty keen to purchase AS2 as well, but coming from NZ weather coverage for there is very important to me. I have heard that the only weather stations are NZAA, NZWN, NZCh. I was just wondering if you could clarifiy if this is correct and if NZ's weather coverage will be updated? However, the product looks awesome, especially the weather radar. Keep up the excellent work :)

Scott,NZAA,NZCH,NZCI,NZDN,NZGS,NZHK,NZKI,NZNP,NZNV,NZOH,NZPP,NZRN,NZRO,NZTG,NZWN,NZWPPlus the pseudo-stations in FS that Damian talked about.Hope this helps,JimActiveSky Support

Hi Jim,Thanks heaps, looks great. You will have a new customer very soon :D If there is a couple that could be added, they would be NZQN and NZNS(Queenstown and Nelson)Thanks again for your help,Scott CalderNEW ZEALAND

Just set the weather in FS to Heavy rain (or snow) , Very cold, Very windy and overcast. That is about par for the course - right?Andy bTasman neighbour

Hi Andy B. Just set the World Cup to England and it should be par for the course, right!!HeheI was originally courious to know about the NZ weather coverage, NZNS & NZPP would have been nice but it sounds like the new coverage is pretty good.Thanks allLungsPS. As a Pom in NZ I have to say I do have a wry grin when Kiwi`s say to me "Isn`t it always raining in England?". The answer is "yes", but I have discovered that in Welington not only is it always raining but the rain is also going sideways!! Lol.

>Hi Andy B. Just set the World Cup to England and it should be>par for the course, right!!Gotta let em win something - we beat em at cricket, soccer, Rugby league, darts, tennis, women's cricket, marbles just for starters.we will have it back in 4 years time.Andy b

Hehe. Looking forward to 4 years time already..Our tennis should improve - its nandrolone powered now!! Cheers

>Hehe. Looking forward to 4 years time already..>No point looking back - the future is where success lies.With all the trans tasman banter I nearly forgot to add my thoughts on AS2004.Go get it man! I had a few issues at the start but after religeously following the setup recommendations provided by Damian I am very pleased with the outcome. Yesterday as I descended through several levels of cloud towards Bundaberg I got bounced all over the place by turbulance. I can remember flying into Bundaberg in real life some time ago in a Jetstream (JS31) and the aircraft behaviour yesterday was remarkably similar and very realistic.It can only get better when Damian releases his Maintenance Release 1 in a few days timeAndy b
