Altimeter not updating

Featured Replies

After going back to FSUIPC 2.975 (see message #12), things started to work alot better. The tower reported the correct altimeter setting (although it was .01 off) and the weather conditions were correct. I did think it was kind of wired that only the altimeter was off, with the winds, precip, clouds and visability were all correct. That's why I'm thinking maybe it's something with FSUIPC 3, maybe I'm wrong. But my AS seemed to work better with the FSUIPC 2.975 fileDave

Hi Again All,I finished my flight and wxRE and FS worked fine. I had good downloads, altimeter was correct below 18K, and FS ATIS reported everything correctly.JimActiveSky Supporthttp://www.hifisim.com/images/as2004proudsupporter.jpg

Hi Dave,As noted in the documentation, FSUIPC 2.975 should be used with FS2002 for best compatibility. FSUIPC 2.975, while not officially supported any longer, is the latest version made for FS2002 exclusively.Are all problems solved when using 2.975?Thanks all!

Hi Jim,Yes, you were right of course - about being too low I mean (oooppps!). I just verified my Microsoft Encarta Atlas - the Andes are MUCH higher than my rather forgetful mind seems to remember! The highest peaks in the Andes are over 22,000 feet! (not 16,000ft. as I thought...in my dreams I suppose!)..No problems with my altimeter in today's flight that I could see.John

I love flying my "iddy biddy Jumbo"

I have the same issue and wanted to confirm how this was resolved.wxRE v1.92.4FSUIPC 3.30 (registered)FS2002symptom: all the wxRE updates look accurate in the METARs and feed the data into FS2002; the one exception is the local pressure at destination. wxRE METAR shows 29.53 as origin pressure and 29.86 as destination metar. Despite my fiddling, I haven't had success getting wxRE to push the local pressure data into FS when within range of destination (I have 60nm force destination weather). It retains the origin airport pressure throughout the 600nm flight online. However, the destination pressure does update at the last minute, below about 100' agl or upon landing.Reviewed the wxRE manual, FSUIPC documentation, the Active Sky FAQ's and did not see anything addressing this, however, Dave appears to have exactly the same issue. Was the only solution to revert from 3.30 to FSUIPC 2.975? and is that older copy readily available?Thanks for any help.
