Hi,Will do! I know from before that you were the go between on this, so that everyone didn't need to post a "me too'.Hope this helps,JimActiveSky Supporthttp://www.hifisim.com/images/as2004proudsupporter.jpg

Hi,I'm back! Sorry for my recent absence...As Jim stated, we assumed this was corrected as subsequent investigation showed the data WAS being collected properly at the time. Apparently this is no longer the case.I will be working on this... It may take a while, as it appears we must find another source for such Isreal data as our current sources are missing valid reports. Will keep you posted...Thanks for your patience!

Any news, guys?

Hi,I have dropped him a few different e-mails and have not heard back. He must be out of town with real world matters.Hope this helps,JimActiveSky Supporthttp://www.hifisim.com/images/as2004proudsupporter.jpg

Hi All,Damian is working on this and has found some difficult situations. He is trying to resolve them as soon as possible. He asks for some time and the knowledge that he is working on it.Hope this helps,JimActiveSky Supporthttp://www.hifisim.com/images/as2004proudsupporter.jpg

Thanks for the update.I think if trying to work things out during the 24th and 25th proved problematic this may be due to the "Yom Kippur" in Israel (and for jews all over the world). I know for sure that some weather stations were not reporting on this day.Israel is prctically closed during Yom Kippur...Oren Geva

Hi Oren,Thanks a bunch for your patience.We've got it finally working right, we needed a new backup source as our current sources for Israel (and a few other areas) are getting strange data storage results due to non-standard transmissions from these stations. Anyhow, the server will be updated in the next few hours and the 5 or so Israel stations will finally be included at all times...Thanks again!

Thanks Damian, thanks Jim.I will test it for couple of days and tell you it's working (hopfully).I will also post this on the vatil forum so other people I know experienced the problems will be able to check too.

Hi Guys!I have been away from simulation world for a few weeks, but I must say that it seems to be working great.I will try to fly locally as much as I can this weekend and tell you how it goes.Thanks for a great product and great support!

Jim, Damien,After doing several flights in Israel I can now safely says that the latest version of AS is working flawlessly!Day or night, weather is always up to date, better than other sources available on the net, and almost real time.Not to mention the great looking skyscapes we get in tandem with FSW.Great job!Take a look at these - I took a look out the window and wanted to see if AS is up to it. And it is.http://forums.simflight.com/viewtopic.php?...ff4456489510056Thanks!
