I have been using Active Sky 6.5 and have had constant thunderstorms whenever I get rain or snow.For example this morning flying from Leeds Bradford to Aldergrove, Active Sky said light snow but had thunderstorms and no snow????.Any help would be much appreciated.ThanksMark Oxley

Hi Mark,Sorry for the problem. When this happens again, please copy the METAR from Active Sky into a post here. It may be something in the METAR triggering the t-storms.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 Mark,SH is a rain code not a snow code. VC means in the vicinity. Things are looking good so far! Feel free to post another set. BTW the manual has a pretty good chapter on METAR codes and I can give you a good link:http://weather.cod.edu/notes/metar.htmlEdit: If the Force Thunderstorms with CB is On, you will get more t-storms in Europe.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/
