AS6.5 WX Servers out of sync?

Featured Replies

Hi,Because I have many issues with ASE, I reinstalled AS6.5 today.I just loaded/refreshed the WX and I noticed the METARs are out of sync with the real world WX.Check the System Zulu time and compare with the METAR time. It differs at least 2.5 hours.Is this an ocaissional hick up or are the Hifi servers out of sync?P.S. 'Use System Time' option is checkedAS6.gif

Try the option "Force primary" under options-> server options, that sometimes helps I think.

Hi,I just tried and everything was OK and even went to ESGG and all was good. It could have been that the station did not report data for a few hours.

Hi,Only after an hour the cycle matched real life.ESGG is a major Swedish airport and will report on at least an hourly basis Also I checked the METAR on the internet and that was current.I guess it was a hickup or something.Thanks for the reply

Jon,We will be happy to troubleshoot this issue with you if you are having a problem. Seeing you have not made one post or e-mail about this it is impossible to know you are having a problem. No, you are not going to suggest that some wild theories are taking place. Thanks.

For the good order. This post is NOT written by me. Instead someone has changed my post (something I don't like.). If you've got something to say, say it. Don't change posts without leaving everything intact.BTW. I don't think it's necessary to post twice about the same problem. The previous post by Egbert Drenth was clear enough. And please don't tell me what to suggest or not.

Oki,2nd flight using AS6 and I again have the same issue.I can see AS6 is downloading from the WX-servers, initially server 2 then I forced primary server and downloaded again.CET is now 19:20, Zulu time is 17:20, and I get a AS6 METAR of 15:20Z. ServInfo (for comparision) gives me a METAR of 16:50Z, differing thus 1h30m.Am I the only one with this issue?

No, absoluteley not. Like I said in my previous post, I'm having this issue for several weeks since going back from ASE to ActiveSky 6.5. At first, I didn't really care about the problem, but then I saw my post getting changed. So, now I'm going to delve into it.I have attached a screenshot of ActiveSky 6.5. As you can see, I have just downloaded the weather (check the ZULU time and local time in my systemtray). The weather is lagging 4 hours...Jon

Hi All,We are doing some server maintainence that could be responsible. Yes, you could also be getting a Download failed message.Yes Jon I did edit your post and I thought my name would have been somewhere in my edit so for that I was wrong. However, I will edit things out of posts that are totally not true.
