Starting up ASV

Featured Replies

Hi EveryoneI believe there have been earlier threads on how to start ASV so that the current weather at the location of FS2004 will be current.The way I have been starting ASV is first start FS2004 then minimize then start ASV.What is happening the dates and times displayed are 06/23/00:25 local and 06/23/04:25 Zulu, which are correct.The weather I am receiving is 2218:15 Hrs. which is about 10 hrs behind.I have tried disconnecting both FS2004 and ASV and then rebooting and I get the same weather even though the local time changes when I reboot ASV.I also tried moving the aircraft to a different part of the province and still get the same as above.Can someone explain how to start ASV so that I will receive the current weather.Comments appreciated.Kenny G.

Just another remark to my thread, the weather is still reporting 221800Z when in fact it is 2315:00Z.I have tried moving the FS2004 to another location with ASV running and still receiving the out of date weather.When I run SB3 and request the weather forcast I am receiving the most recent weather.Looking for some help.Kenny G.

Hey Kenny G. Nice to see you in the sim, rather than putting us to sleep with your music (Ok, lame joke, I know)All kidding aside.Check to make sure that ASV has Online Updates checked. The procedure I use for loading up is.1) Load up ASV, it will download Weather, Click New Route and add in your route.2) Load up FS9 and set your AC, Time and Airport3) Enter the sim, and the WX Will update.That's pretty much it. If you don't update properly, hit Refresh. I'm flying right now, and WX Is current.Good Luck!

Paul for your suggestion, but I have tried loading with online updates, and it does update every 10 min, but it keeps displaying the old weather for 2218:00Z everytime it updates.I will again try loading the new route prior to loading the Fs. but I do not expect much of a difference.Tks. again.Kenny G.>>
