Metar decode error

[JSkorna 137]

Hi Joe,Is this still happening, today?Is it the same error message as in post #1?If FS04 is running you are not getting any updated textures because textures need to be loaded BEFORE starting FS. So the possible steps are:PlanExport PlanImport into ASUse the Auto Submit on Plan option in AS to run GEPGEP runs. Answer yes, no, yes and FS will be started.Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/banners/hifi-community-sigbanner.jpghttp://www.hifisim.com/

This time GE Pro actually decoded the METAR string without showing an error message as indicated in post #1. I had been getting the error message for 2 days in a row prior to today. I will try another location tomorrow and see if I get the same message.Frankly, I didn't realize there is only one way to get the correct textures to load in FS9. I have done the procedure you described before and thought it to be a fairly lengthy process....start FS9, open FS Nav to plan flight, export plan, close out the aforementioned, and then go through AS as you mentioned. Since GE Pro has the Wx Control function, it seemed easier and faster to keep FS9 running. So, you are telling me that the Wx Control option is not the better option? Just curious.Thanks!

Hi,That is why some users have switched to an external flight planner. The key to any of this is to have FS04 closed when submitting textures. After this point, it really doesn't matter through which program you submit your textures.Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/banners/hifi-community-sigbanner.jpghttp://www.hifisim.com/

Again, I'm curious because it makes no sense to have that function within GE Pro if it cannot load the textures based on the flight plan. That would suggest that I paid for a program that is not fully functional.

Hi Joe,What makes you say that? Everything works as it should. My key point to you is that FS04 must be closeed in order to see new textures.Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/banners/hifi-community-sigbanner.jpghttp://www.hifisim.com/
