May 3, 200521 yr Have installed the latest updates of both Active Aky and FSUIPC but I do not believe I am getting the correct weather.For example today at EDDL the METAR wasEDDL 031950Z 31002KT 9999 FEW025 15/09 Q1012 NOSIG RMK SUPPRESSEDAnd all I got was clear skies and the default temperature 14 degrees. There did not seem to be any change to the weather whatsoever.Not had these problems beforeShould if I am reading the METAR correct be at lest 25% broken cloud coverage and 15 degrees temperature.ThanksJohn John Hewson
May 3, 200521 yr Hi John>Should if I am reading the METAR correct be at lest 25% broken cloud coverage and 15 degrees temperature.No FEW025 is few clouds at 2500ft, the 025 is the altitude not cloud%CheersTony
May 4, 200521 yr Hi,And just to add to this: the temperature in the METAR is 15 and you had 14 in FS. That is acceptable. There is a small amount of randomness built in.Edit: Are you still getting no clouds? Were you in the air or on the ground at the time?Hope this helps,JimActiveSky Sales and Supporthttp://www.hifisim.com/images/as2004proudsupporter.jpg
May 5, 200521 yr Author Actually I sorted out the problem myself; silly mistake on my part as I did not have the cloud setting at the right level in the scenery options.BTW I also got upgraded by AOLUK this morning to more powerful modem drivers in preperation for an upgrade to their 1mb service and the difference in cloud pattern is incredible. I would never have believed that a modem driver could make so much impact but after this experience I suggest anyone else wondering if they are getting the correct weather should think about their modems.Thanks for all thh hard work and looking forard eagerly to the new version.John John Hewson
