compression errors Beta 450

Featured Replies

Hello,I am starting to get error messages which basically say Active Sky compression error. I am not exactly sure what is going on here but I comressed my hard drive recently, a tweak I read somewhere. Have you any ideas what is happening..it seems to be Activesky related because the error reads..Active sky unable to compress...?Hope you can helpRegardsPaul

Hi Jim, I did i search in the whole of my flightsim drive and especially the Activesky folder but no *.asd files to be found. I am now also having problems download metars and when i do start it is always grey and foggy? Can you please help. The metars seem to be taking a long time to download also.RegardsPaul

Paul,I had this a few weeks back and Damian suggested a uninstall reinstall cycle for me. I suggest the same for you!Hope this helps,JimActiveSky Supporthttp://www.hifisim.com/images/as2004proudsupporter.jpg

Hi Jim,Forgive me but when you say re-install cycle what do you mean exactly? Sorry to be so dumb on this I am not an expert in FS at all !ThanksPaul

>Forgive me but when you say re-install cycle what do you mean>exactly?It means:complitely uninstall any update and program (from windows "add or remove programs" menu) and manually delete activesky directory.And reinstall from scratch.It means:take V1 install, and directly install latest beta or MR1 if feel unsure about the beta.

Please have a look at this problem: i too have had a "Error during decompression..."And i do not have a compressed harddrive.
