September 4, 200520 yr Hi again Jim,This time I won't refer to any serious problems. This time I 'd like to make two proposals for future updates on the BEST ever wx program I have used so far.1. When METAR reads "Few" clouds the sky above gets almost full of clouds (no other cloud layers present) resulting in a non realistic wx depiction. Could it be possible for the user to take more control of this ? A good suggestion I think would be to bring back (in parallel) the older "octas" system 1/8, 2/8, etc., just like FS does.Otherwise user has to intervene selecting only CAVOK, having no other fine tuning option.2. I have noticed that there is 10 to 50 degrees difference between METAR wind direction and Active radar wind direction indication on a certain airport. This difference was much greater on AS2004, now it is improved but not eliminated. (If you remember, this was my main problem several months ago). Is it a known FS problem or limitation?It doesn't happen frequently, but it really exists.Thank you for your time.Sotiris. Sotiris Stavrakis
September 4, 200520 yr Hi,1. When seeing Few are you within 2 miles of the station or beyond 2 miles?2. What airport?Hope this helps,JimActiveSky Sales and Supporthttp://www.hifisim.com/images/asv_dev_team.jpg http://www.hifisim.com/images/asv_proud_supporter.jpg
September 4, 200520 yr Author Hi Jim,1. Yes, LGAV is 11 nm away from LGAT Met Station. Does that matter ?2. I am talking mainly for LGAV, but not only, I 'll check more apts.It now occured to me : Could that (METAR-ActiveRadar difference) happen because of the 11 nm distance from LGAT ? Sotiris Stavrakis
September 4, 200520 yr Hi,1. Yes because you are getting a blend of weather.2. Yes, it could be because the Active Radar database is a bit older.Hope this helps,JimActiveSky Sales and Supporthttp://www.hifisim.com/images/asv_dev_team.jpg http://www.hifisim.com/images/asv_proud_supporter.jpg
September 5, 200520 yr Author OK Thanks. I wonder If Damian could include any workaround for these topics in future updates.Regards. Sotiris Stavrakis
September 5, 200520 yr Hi,1. Blending is a good thing, we don't want to get away from that.2. Part of this is also the fact that one of those airports is closed, but still in FS04.Hope this helps,JimActiveSky Sales and Supporthttp://www.hifisim.com/images/asv_dev_team.jpg http://www.hifisim.com/images/asv_proud_supporter.jpg
