active sky archived weather

Featured Replies

I'm having trouble with getting the active sky 6.5 archived weather match up with FS. Here's what I'm doing:1. Start Active sky paused, click the download, and select August 2, 1300 UTC, 5 additional hours.2. Start FS and go to the proper airport, set game time to August 2, 1300Z.3. Refresh Active Sky. The program says it has loaded the 1300Z archive, but the active menu line shows that it is using weather from August 2, 1053Z.4. When I go back to FS, the new clouds and weather are there, but the ticker tape running across the top tells me that the program is using an August 2, 0145Z METAR.I'm totally confused. Is anybody successfully using Active Sky and archived weather? Am I doing something wrong? I have the program set to use FS time instead of system time, as well as the timezone detection option enabled. What else do I have to get this working?All I essentially want is for Active Sky to track the FS game time and update me with the weather that corresponds to FS's date, but I'm getting three contradictions when I try to use it.any ideas?
