Excellent news Damian.

EXCELLENT! Looks way cool!1) Will there be a ASv6 previous-user discount for the bundle package?2) Does it support enroute step-climbs on long-hauls? In other words, my initial flight-plan is filed at FL330 and I submit a plan, then I step to 350 and 370, will it adjust weather reports and so on?3) Does it finaly get rid of the clearing skies as we pass through FL100? I.e., true graduated visability from Ground to upper FL's?4) With FSX-Deluxe, I gather from the website that we can still use this new AS from a remote PC over simconnect? Like current WideFS?Thanks, and again, this looks like an awsome upgrade.

Hi Al!This isn't an upgrade this time, totally new stuff, new dev team, new content, new technology, etc. There will be a discount for the bundle that past users or new users can both take advantage of.ASX uses multiple wind layers with wind level altitude selectors in the map view and other areas. So the altitude you are flying at, or plan to fly out, or just want to examine is all available.The vertical visibility transitions are greatly improved, yes... no more 10K foot hard level. Best,

Hi Al,Yes to #4 as well!!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/

Will there be integration of the new Ground Environment when it is released, as it was in AS6.5?Thanks...can't wait to get my hands on this!

Cool, thanks Jim and Damien. I can understand the full new development especially with the cost of the new server. I am also curious about Ground Environemnt Pro integration. Also, how are you simulating huricanes when most of the time, the RW weather monitor stations get taken offline with high wind and power outages?

Damian bought the first version till the latest so will end up with this one to all depending on SP1 and performance for FSX...Great news congratulations to you all ;-)Andr

Thanks SO MUCH Andre! :)

Hope you guys enjoy the 2 new products.Beta2 about to start on FSXE and Beta3 following closely behind for ASX so we are very very close to RTM versions on both products.ThanksCarl Hackmanhttp://www.hifisim.comhttp://www.hifisim.com/banners/hifi-dev-sigbanner.jpg

Hi again,We will try to integrate with any popular add-ons as long as they are fully FSX-compatible and the technical means are there. It shouldn't be too difficult.Hurricane data is not coming from METARs :) We actually ignore the METARs within a large radius around the hurricanes and override them with proper synthesized hurricane parameters.Best,

Fantastic news. That made my day !Heiko

I used WxRE on 2k2, now ASv6.5 on FS9 and have always been happy with the product and friendly support. I wish you all the best with what looks like another superb product :-)

I have been very happy with AS 6.5 so I am looking forward to your new product.As you are now using Simconnect, will we still need WideFS to run Active Sky from a second computer ? If not, could you elaborate a bit on how this is going to work ?Jean-Paul Asus P5W DH Deluxe - Core 2 Duo E6600@3Ghz - Leadtek 7950 GT TDH 512 - 4 x 1GB Kingmax DDR2 667 CL5 RAM - 2 x 250GB Hitachi T7K250 SATA2 AHCI - Creative Audigy 2 Value - Antec Sonata 2 Case - 450W Antec SmartPower 2.0 PSU - Samsung SyncMaster 204B 20" - Windows XP Pro SP2 - TrackIR 4 Pro

Hi,Thanks!No, WideFS is not going to work at all, only SimConnect. If you have the deluxe version you will be able to set up Simconnect to work over your network and then install ASX on your client machine.Thanks,Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/banners/hifi-community-sigbanner.jpghttp://www.hifisim.com/

This looks very interesting. But one feature was not mentioned at all (or I was too stupid to find it ;-)).What about the Weather Finder? I find this a very useful, but limited feature in the current version. Was this enhanced somehow?Will probably buy the bundle anyway :-)Alex
