Hi,Waht shows up if you run AS and FSX from the same machine? No, you don't need to change any paths. Can you post a SS of this haze?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 Sam,Very good! FYI, AVSIM is asking for one banner per user, you have 5.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/

>Thank you everyone!I would like to thank you and the team for a great weather Engine we have for FS9 and FSX :-)I started with the first and all version after that till now :-)Thanks for the great support too :-)Andr

But I think what I'm getting in FSX default realtime weather is better than ASv6.5Cheers,Barthttp://acquiry.com/picts/BartMig110_sml.jpgCloud9 Beta Team

A little late but need some refresh:Installed AS6.5 in a wideclient (FSX in wideserver) but there is some kind of trouble because it says that some distant weather stations couldn't be "reached".Had to install FS9 AFTER (I'm having trouble with RC so JD told me to begin from scratch.Haven't the slightest idea how to config AS6.5 to point to FS9 AND FSX in ASv6.iniabout item 4: How is the way to point FIRST to FS9 and latter how to adjust the FS path in ASv6.ini file?ThanksEduardo

[Guest cirurgiao]

By the way, I think your ASv6 is terrific. Really best weather add-on for flightsim. Had no trouble at all when running it either with FS9 or FSX but neither them in a widefs config.Would like very much to put your banner in my signature, if it's possibleEduardo

[Guest cirurgiao]

Hi, DamianShould I create two paths, one for FS9 and another for FSX in ASv6.ini?Because when opening my ASv6.ini it's FS9Path = p5n32sliFSX (this was my first experience in opening AS.ini file) before installing FS9Want to know if I need to create:FS9Path = p5n32sliFS9 ANDFSXPath = p5n32sliFSXplus Documents and SettingsEduAppDataMicrosoftFS9 AND Documents and SettingsEduAppDataMicrosoftFSXThanksEduardo

>Jim, I'll post some tomorrow. But I think what I'm getting in>FSX default realtime weather is better than ASv6.5>Jim -In looking at the textures again, it appears that with ASv6.5 running I get a little bit better coverage and variation than with default, but it's evident that they are the FSX texture set.I can't believe this is such an issue when I see WeatherMaker Pro come out with themes that, when used in FSX, are excellent in texturing, coverage and variation. When can we expect FSX to be able to use AS textures?TIA for all your help, as always..Cheers,Barthttp://acquiry.com/picts/BartMig110_sml.jpgCloud9 Beta Team

Hi Bart,No timeline has been set for the new texture engine.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,Make sure your Application Data folders are shared for FS04 and for FSX and then modify the AppFolder path as you did in that other post up the page.Only one banner per user so you would need to drop the RC banner.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/

[Guest cirurgiao]

Have I to share both ...FS9 & ...FSX in AppData folder?From what I read is it correct the way I put at the beginning of this topic?FS9Path = p5n32sliFS9 ANDFSXPath = p5n32sliFSXplus Documents and SettingsEduAppDataMicrosoftFS9 AND Documents and SettingsEduAppDataMicrosoftFSXIs this it?ThanksEduardo

[Guest cirurgiao]

JimUnfortunately, brasilian version of windows places Flight Simulator Files and Flight Simulator FSX files (saved flights) in another folder not the usual C:Documents and SettingsEduAppDataMicrosoft folderFS...It's C:Documents and SettingsEduMeus documentos even though FSX.cfg is in AppDataMicrosoft, so it's weird.Just the same do I create ASv6 path following where the flights are saved (in my brasilian windows version ...EduMeus documentos) or do I point to the usual ...EduAppDataMicrosoftFS... in which I have archives from both versions(FS9 and FSX) but the saved flights don't go?ThanksEduardo

Hi,Find the wxstations.bin files for FS04 and for FSX.In whatever Application Data folders contain those 2 files that is where you need to point AS. It is really just to update these two files and after the update it really doesn't matter anymore until we change our wx station list.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/
