I have been trying for days without success to figure out why I don't get turbulence in FSX. I went through the forums, documentation and new install only to get more frustrated. The weather displays alright in FSX. When I used VATSIM weather I get turbulence I switch to AS for the same conditions and it's very smooth. I have FSUIPC4 correctly installed and registered. I have tried all the possible options in FSX, ASV6.5 and FSUIPC4 and look at different ini, cfg and log files and could'nt see what I am doing wrong. Any help will be very much appreciatedThanksGeeBee

Hi GeeBee,Not real sure here so try and reset FSUIPC to Default settings and Weather Settings Off.Make sure your turbulence frequency is set to 100 in AS.Please let us know because the FSX system is much better in this area.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/

I did set AS and FSUIPC as mentionned and still no turbulence at all. The present home weather is wind gusting to 20kts heavy swow and low vis. Weather display ok but no turb. I was flying on line with a friend and he mentionned that he had very good turbulence.I closed AS and when I press "clear all weather" button in FSUIPC the weather doesn't change and it still display bad weather. Why the weather doesn't clear ?

Hi,Turn Use System Time On and see what happens. You may be getting the TAF conditions and not the METAR conditions.The Clear all weather button is pretty slow right now in FSX. A quicker method is to choose the Clear Weather theme in FSX.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/

Thank you Jim for your prompt assistance. I did setup ActiveSky and FSX to use both the system time and it seems to correct the effect of wind gust and turbulence. Also it has more effect on default planes. The addon plane I was using for my tests is probably program to be less sensitive to gust and turbulence.ActiveSky is a great addon for the flight sim. Can't fly without.:-) :-)
