ActiveSky and VATSIM?

[Guest apopilot77]

I am just curious to know how the weather system works when flying online? I would like to purchase this weather program but I would like to know how it handles online? Also does it effect frame rates?

Hi,Thanks for your interest! There is an option in ASV to use VATSIM weather. So at your departure and arrival airports you will get the VATSIM weather and in between you will get ASV weather.Frame rates are equal or better than default FS04. There are many options to adjust FPS and we are always here to help a user out!Hope this helps,JimActiveSky Sales and Supporthttp://www.hifisim.com/images/asv_dev_team.jpg http://www.hifisim.com/images/asv_proud_supporter.jpg

I am just curious to know the differences between VATSIM and ASV weather? Do they both access different servers?

Hi,We pull the weather from the VATSIM servers so that those that wish to fly on VATSIM have the same weather as the controller sees.Do you fly on the VASTIM network?Hope this helps,JimActiveSky Sales and Supporthttp://www.hifisim.com/images/asv_dev_team.jpg http://www.hifisim.com/images/asv_proud_supporter.jpg

Yes I do fly on the VATSIM network. Just curious to know what I am paying for. I do not understand the default FS2004 weather system that much and was curious what the major differences were?

Hi,Not a problem! I just wanted to make sure we were talking about the same thing!!Having that option in ASV will allow your weather to match with what the VATSIM controller sees. After departure and before arrivial you will get all the ASV weather.Hope this helps,JimActiveSky Sales and Supporthttp://www.hifisim.com/images/asv_dev_team.jpg http://www.hifisim.com/images/asv_proud_supporter.jpg
