Is there an option I might be missing somewhere that I can force the destination weather? The past couple of days, the weather doesn't actually change to the destination until I'm on final about 5 miles out? I've imported the flight plan and all that.Reason I asked is I've been looking for some very low vis approaches. Last night Salt Lake reported 1/4 mile vis and myself and a fried flew there. He couldn't see anything until practically over the runway.I had the airport clear as day 10 miles out. When I landed, AS2004 finally changed to the SLC station and then I was in the soup, but I wanted the soup on my way in ;-)Thanks,Lance

Lance,Check and see if Use Update Supression is OFF.Hope this helps,JimActiveSky Support

Hi Lance,Hmmm, well, this is station-based weather. Remember AS2004 never "changes" stations. It just reports which one is closest after it has already set it. FS2004 decides when to display a particular station's weather.. namely, within 2nm of that station.Nothing wrong here from what I can see... Except that in your case it may have been better to write the destination weather into the global area (the weather depicted when outside a 2nm station zone) instead of the departure weather (remember we can only set global once otherwise you'll see all weather change rapidly). I will work on this for MR1...-Damian

Thanks guys. Damian you lost me ;-) sorry. Jim, should update supression be off or on? Sounds like it should be off.Thanks

Lance,The weather data is already in. AS reports the conditions at the closest station. Yes, OFF.Hope this helps,JimActiveSky Support

thanks for the help, i'll give it a shot and let ya know ;-)thanks

Lance, Sounds similar to what I see a lot. See my jan 9th "cloudsvisibility change" posting. Is that similar to what you see?thanksdoug

Just wanted to stop back as promised and say all appears well now. I unchecked the update supression and I got lovely IMC conditions where I was suppose to ;-)Thanks for the help!

Hi,Update suppression can and should be on, to prevent updates during critical phases of flight... just make sure you have your initial weather set occuring while you are ON THE GROUND not airborne, and your suppression ceiling is BELOW where you will be cruising for your flight.. this can cause such discrepencies as you had reported...Damian ClarkHiFi Simulation SoftwareDeveloper of ActiveSkyhttp://www.hifisim.comhttp://www.hifisim.com/images/as2004betateam.jpg
