hi all,does anyone know what's up with FSX's RWW accuracy? it's been horrible the last few months. especially the wind direction and speed along with barom. press. at both departure & destination airports. the worst i think i've ever seen it this consistently. made a flight from CYVR_RJAA today. according to the Weather Channels current conditions for CYVR while on the ground at CYVR 0800-0900 local time was...Barom. Press.= 29.76, Surface Winds= East @ 5-10 knots with light rain & cloudy skies. FSS RWW at CYVR at the same time was... Barom. Press.= 30.15, Surface Winds= 305-310 degrees at 10-15 knots, cloudy skies, with light rain for about 5-10 mins. then no rain all the way to actual departure. i went back to the WC's site again after reaching initial CRZ Alt. and the current conditions at CYVR 0900-1000 local time was pretty much unchanged. is MS about ready to pull the plug on the fs2k.zone site?happy flyin, fm

We flew from KDCA yesterday to Atlantic City in that blizzard. It was only fog in DC and clear in Atlantic, something is definatly hosed with it, but we don't have anyone to complain to

Yeah the default RW weather in FSX isn't right most of the time.

But there are 2 other programs that one could use.

hi Jim,i've been considering AS for quite some time. but, from the screen shots i've seen at various forums i don't like AS's clouds. (not knocking your product) to me, they don't look as dense as FS's default clouds. and the sky color at the FL altitudes isn't as dark as FS's based on some of the in-flight pics that i've seen at Airliners.net however, i haven't completely ruled out giving AS a try.happy flyin, fm

But there are 2 other programs that one could use.

I wish I could, AS still has a problem with multiplayer and I wouldn't use the other one if they gave me the company.

2 ? in no particular order ... and I only took a quick look ....http://www.fsmeteo.com/http://www.realenvironmentxtreme.com/http://www2.hifisim.com/node/3http://flyawaysimulation.com/article2089.html

fm,ASA contains no environmental textures, it just uses whatever textures are in FS.Thanks,OK jp, 3.

thanks for the info. Jim. does AS have any kind of impact on FPS? is FSUIPC required? btw, talking FSX here.thanks in advance for the info.happy flyin, fm

Hi,Heavy weather and multiple cloud layers can have some FPS hit, but that is with any program. There are adjustments for those in AS. We use SimConnect both for a single computer install and networked installs.

hi Jim,thanks again for the info. couple of more questions...1. what's the newest version of AS for FSX?2. is it available on CD/DVD or download only?i may very well give AS a try. gettin' kinda sick of FSX's in-accurate RWW again, thanks for the info..happy flyin, fm

Hi,1. That would be Active Sky Advanced.2. Download only from our store. Download and CD if you purchase at SimMarket.com.

thanks Jim

ASA Rules!! Absolutely an essential component of FSX! :(
