hiin the situation tab of active raar i don't get accurate wind speed.i was crossing the pond showing 70kts tailwinds also noticeable in my fmc and the fuel i'm saving because of the tailwind but AR does show me only 20 kts and as a x wind.not a big issue but just curious.thanks!

Hi Jim,It actually is loaded already but I need to point out this is a resumed flight i loaded therefore i just updated all from the planning tab and all seems ok. While on topic when loading a saved flight there is a .wx associated with it so when i load my flight say from yesterday i would like todays updated weather so i still loaded asv and then made sure to refresh once my saved flight is loaded is this a good procedure it seems to have worked but maybe there is something else i should do? Basically i didn't clear wx when i loaded fs9, again what i did was load asv recreate my route for accurate winds and clouds THEN load fs9 when its finished processing I refresh and then optionally load active radar and update all; what do you think? Thanks!

Hi Joe,That was a mouthfull!!! In a nutshell it is good practice to refresh all the weather when resuming a saved flight both in ASV, which will happen automatically, and in AR after you reload the plan.Hope this helps,JimActiveSky Sales and Supporthttp://www.hifisim.com/images/asv_dev_team.jpg http://www.hifisim.com/images/asv_proud_supporter.jpg
