This rarely happens, but it sometimes does. Once in a while (it's hard to tell when), but here's the scenario:I start ActiveSky (in Pause mode). I load FS9. I get situated at the gate, FS ready and waiting.I go back to Activesky, import the Flight Plan, hit Refresh. I see ActiveSky download the weather and update stations.I go back to FS and notice that the weather hasn't updated. It's the default clear skies, winds calm, altimeter 29.92. I go back and read the METAR on ActiveSky and it says (clouds, altimeter 29.87 (or whatever). I double check my weather setting in FS and it's set to User-defined weather.I shut everything down, start all over again and it's fine.What could be causing this hiccup?Thanks.

Hi,If FS04 is paused this can happen. Is FS04 set to Pause on Task Switch?Hope this helps,Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/Active Sky V6 Development Team Active Sky V6 Proud SupporterHiFi Beta TeamRadar Contact Supporter: http://www.jdtllc.com/AirSource Member: http://www.air-source.us/FSEconomy Member:http://dot.kelder.net:8080/fseconomy/

Aren't you supposed to load the flight plan and hit refresh so activesky can send all the textures and stuff to flight sim before you even load the sim. Then once you are at your gate or airport, hit the refresh button again in activesky ?That's the way I've always done it and no problems.Gary

Hi Gary,For textures you are correct!Hope this helps,Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/Active Sky V6 Development Team Active Sky V6 Proud SupporterHiFi Beta TeamRadar Contact Supporter: http://www.jdtllc.com/AirSource Member: http://www.air-source.us/FSEconomy Member:http://dot.kelder.net:8080/fseconomy/

Hi, guys.I don't have the option for FS to pause when I switch tasks. Like I said, it's a rare occurrence, so it's hard to pinpoint when it exactly happens.I was wondering whether there's something I need to look for.Thanks.

Hi,Look for a drop in communication by looking at the ASv6 main screen.Or see if it is at a certain station/airport.Hope this helps,Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/Active Sky V6 Development Team Active Sky V6 Proud SupporterHiFi Beta TeamRadar Contact Supporter: http://www.jdtllc.com/AirSource Member: http://www.air-source.us/FSEconomy Member:http://dot.kelder.net:8080/fseconomy/

Hi, Jim.Sorry it took so long to respond.It doesn't drop (because I watch it go through and update) and it only happens at KBFI (my starting airport).Thanks.
