Guest surfsup

Just purchased the Active Sky X bundle but the weather reporting is funky.LSGS reports -6c and snow when LSGS own metar reports:LSGS 010650Z 28003KT 240V300 9000 -RA FEW005 SCT040BKN060 11/10 Q1014=What am I doing wrong?Also unless I manually adjust visibility it never goes over 10 miles!Plus uploading weather file to FSX is inconsistent sometimes it does, sometimes it does not?Running Vista Ultimate with 4 megs and E6700, No raid, 680i board, 8800gtx.Please help.

HiThx for the answer.It seams, the wheater for Sion to be again not correct. The actual METAR for LSGS shows inf Active Sky X 181755Z 06006KT 0100 -SN FZFG M05/M05 Q1011 ...In spring time freezing fog on the ground? That we have never in May in Central Europe. This can not a correct blendig of weather from surroundig stations. Thanks, Robert

Hi,NOAA and ASX for LIMH which is the next closest station with actual data:LIMH 181755Z 06006KT 0100 -SN FZFG VV001 M05/M05 Q1011 RMK MON INVIS VAL INVIS VIS MIN 0100At NOAA this is the latest METAR that they have for LSGS:LSGS 141420Z 25013KT 9999 BKN120 22/06 Q1010So things look to be working properly for now.Thanks,Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/banners/hifi-community-sigbanner.jpghttp://www.hifisim.com/

HiThe METAR for LIMH Pian Rosa can maybe not correct too. This can be the reason of the problem for LSGS. LIMH is an Mountain-Airfield at 11444 ft. There is no Wheater-Office. The METAR on the NOAA-Site for LIMH 181855Z 05007KT 0300 -SN FZFG VV003 M05/M05 Q1011 RMK MON INVIS VAL INVIS VIS MIN 0300 can not be interpolated for Sion LSGS at 1581 ft for a correct resultat. ThanksRobert

HiThis airports are most open only between 0600 - 1800 UTC.METAR LSZG GRENCHEN 200950Z 07015KT 9999 SCT045 BKN073 15/07 Q1008 NOSIG= METAR LSZR ST GALLEN ALTENRHEIN 200950Z 05010KT 020V080 9999 BKN050 14/07 Q1009 NOSIG RMK H= METAR LSGS SION 200950Z 25006KT 210V280 9999 SCT030 BKN090 16/09 Q1005= LSGC LES EPLATURES 201020Z 04013KT 9000 FEW015 BKN025 BKN050 09/06 Q1009 WS RWY06=METAR LSZL LOCARNO 200950Z 25005KT 200V300 9999 FEW040 SCT150 19/14 Q1001 RMK BLU=METAR LSZS SAMEDAN 201020Z 33007KT 290V020 9999 OVC040 10/03 Q1006= METAR LSZC BUOCHS NIL= at NOAA the Metar for Sion is not actuell: LSGS 141420Z 25013KT 9999 BKN120 22/06 Q1010 at Active Sky X : LSGS 200955Z 05007KT 0100FZFG VV002 M06/M06 Q1009...I think, a solution for LSGS is, to use the Metar from LSGG. LSGG shows correct at NOAA. LSGG 201050Z 06010KT 020V120 9999 FEW027 BKN038 15/08 Q1007 NOSIG The Mountain Station LIMH can not be used for LSGS for a correct resultat.ThanksRobert
