I use AS with GEP.I'm quite happy with the appearnce of clouds and skies in FS9. Looks very realistic.Two things bother me.1.I open up AS. Wait until METARS are done loading. I hit the GEP button, and wait for textures to be installed. My default airport in the top window of AS is EGKK. GEP loads textures for EGKK weather.But what if I later to fly out a place with clear weather. There's no turning back. It seems that if I open up GEP first, only then do I have a choice which textures to install(dest/arr airports,cloudcover etc).2. I find that after activating As and GEP, it takes forever for the weather to appear in FS9. Sometimes nothing appears. I have to minimize FS, maximize AS and hit REFRESH. Only then do I see the weatheer in FS. Is this normal?Eytan Ornstein

Hi Eytan,Thanks for writing!1. For #1: In general, we are all are going to be stuck with the textures that FS04 loads with. This is true for ALL textures except cirrus clouds. This is a characteristic of FS04 and there is no way around it! I can suggest that you use a flight plan to set textures and not a single airport. That way, GEP will use an average of the weather along the flight plan to set the textures. But even here, once FS04 starts, the textures are locked in until you close down FS04.If you want to set your own textures, do not have Active Sky auto start GEP and then just manually start GEP. 2. My only guess is that you have one of the pause options turned On in Active Sky. Post your ASv6.ini and I can take a look!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/
