[Damian Clark 1,150]

Hi John,It shows no connection attempt by ASv6.5. You sure you loaded ASv6.5 and it connected during this logging period?Also please upgrade to FSUIPC 4.02 just released, just to make sure it's not something already resolved.Best,

Hi John,Please see the other thread, it has something to do with FS ready status changes in FSUIPC v4/FSX. Try default AS options and/or toggling the "ignore FS location until ready" option. Also make sure you are not starting paused. We are investigating this in more detail now and will have more information soon.Thank YOU for your patience!Best,

With this latest version of ActiveSky, can I use ActiveSky Graphics to change the cloud resolutions in FSX?

[JSkorna 137]

Hi,Clouds can be used, but we are not recommending this. Sky textures are not compatible. You cannot set the path to FSX in ASG.Thanks,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://www.fseconomy.com/

Hi Damian,I'll check that thread. I noticed there are two threads running and it makes sense to just use one. I'll try your suggestions and report back. Thank you.John

[Damian Clark 1,150]

Hi,To clarify, we have another graphics solution in the works for FSX and yes you'll be able to easily change resolution. For now ASG is not compatible with FSX for various technical reasons.As for "the new AS" Jim meant to say "the new graphics solution". We always have new AS technology in the works but we are pretty confident future versions of "ActiveSky" will focus on weather generation only. Graphics solutions will be optional separate components...Best,

Hello, I am still a user of FS9 till I see there are some major changes in the weather such as icing and severe t-storms. That would chew a C-172 up and spit it out or make you aerobatics trained real fast :). Please take note I am just sharing this opinion because I do have a question that follows. Is it looking prominent for FSX to have a lean towards them weather conditions? After all besides a flight plan you always have to step into the FBO and get a peak at the weather on you're route of flight. And anyone in the right mind would not fly a C-172 smack dab in the middle of a serious Cumulo-nimbus towering dang near to FL500. Love ActiveSky been using it for awhile now. Just wondering if there are gonna be much for advances in FSX besides eye candy which I have about $500.00 of add-on's on FS9 to pretty much take care of all that. Cautiously sitting back until some dust settles. (grin). Thanks, Josh

Hi Josh,"Just wondering if there are gonna be much for advances in FSX besides eye candy"In short, YES. :) It will take a bit of time, but we are working on such things..Best,

[Guest WindBeneathMyWings]

Howdy, Roger that!!! I am anxiously anticipating what is gonna be in store. I know Active Sky will push the new FSX to it's max potential. Take Care, Josh

>Try installing with Antivirus software turned off. There's a>heap of stuff in the MS Knowledge Base and on the net about>this error number and AV seems to be the culprit in a lot>cases.All is fixed ! :)I downloaded it with another computer, and that worked. Somehow the one I was downloading in my computer kept a corrupted version in it's buffer. Even re-loading it didn't work. But now it all works fine !Frank
