Here is a cut and paste from my post on the Radar Contact Forum. They thought it might be interesting to bring it up here to see if any other ASV6 and Radar Contact 4 users run into the problem of destination ATIS announcing "sky clear" despite overcast being reported via the METAR"This is the second flight where the wx per ASV 6 is overcast at the destination, but ATIS reports sky clear. Got the winds and runway and altimeter correct.I am not using online wx updates, so the wx at the destination remained the same the entire flight.Gregat what point did you get your weather from rc?show me the asv metar linejdabout 60 to 70 miles out for the first reportHere is the METAR:KPDX 020155Z 12010KT 10SM FEW042 BKN055 OVC080 08/07 A2944 RMK AO2 RAB34E50 SLP969 P0000 T00830067GregHi Greg,RC gets the weather provided from AS6 via FSUIPC. (There is a utility called weatherset2 which comes with FSUIPC that enables you to see what weather is being reported to us for any point in the FS world).In other words we are not reading the metar directly from AS6.If there is a problem it could be in the interaction between AS6, FSUIPC and FS.In theory RC only states what is being reported by FSUIPC at the arrival airport at the time you request the weather.It might be worth mentioning this on the AS forum as well.All the best,Johnreally needs to be inside 60. do you remember whether the report was the arrival atis, or "in-flight"i think there is an option in active sky that forces the arrival weather when you are a certain distance away. i don't remember.jdThis was the arrival ATIS. I know what you are saying about enroute weather. If I press option 2 to check the weather enroute, I get different weather reports at unidentified stations presumably along the route.The ASV flightwatch would do the same, but use the 3 letter station identifier to allow one to know what station is referred to.In these two cases, the station ID was clearly identified as PDX both times (ie before the automatic call for weather and after the automatic call for weather), with identical reports both times. Hence I should be sure it is the destination weather we are talking about.I can bring this up in the ASV forum to see if other ASV users are running into the same problem if this seems anomalous compared to users who do not use ASV.Greg

Hi Greg,I have RC4 and get accurate reports.What is your Supression Ceiling set at? You may want to try 4000.Hope this helps,Jimhttp://www.hifisim.comhttp://sales.hifisim.com/pub-download/asv6...development.jpg http://sales.hifisim.com/pub-download/asv6-banner-proud.jpg http://sales.hifisim.com/pub-download/asv6-banner-beta.jpg

Mine is set at 20000. I can certainly try that.There is a thread ongoing on this on the Radar Contact Forum. Interesting.Greg

Hi,That could sure be one reason.Hope this helps,Jimhttp://www.hifisim.comhttp://sales.hifisim.com/pub-download/asv6...development.jpg http://sales.hifisim.com/pub-download/asv6-banner-proud.jpg http://sales.hifisim.com/pub-download/asv6-banner-beta.jpg
