I have read the sticky above by Ronzie on this subject and updated FSUIPC (4.712), ASE (647) and Radar Contact 4.3.If I have DWC activated in ASE I still get the wrong ATIS, it gives the weather at altitude, not the correct destination ATIS - What am I doing wrong ??ASE is on a networked computer connected via Simconnect and works as normal in DWC mode, the route is applied to ASE.Radar Contact is on the FS computer, obviously with the route entered.UseASEweather=Yes entered in the FSUIPC.ini file.Do I need to connect via FSWide / Client for this to work as opposed to Simconnect ?Glen

ASE is on a networked computer connected via Simconnect and works as normal in DWC mode, the route is applied to ASE.Radar Contact is on the FS computer, obviously with the route entered.UseASEweather=Yes entered in the FSUIPC.ini file.

That is not necessary and not recommended (at least by me), and is certainly not helping.As documented, with the "UseASEweather" parameter omitted, FSUIPC works sensibly: it uses ASE weather if it can get it AND if ASE is in DWC mode, but otherwise it uses FSX weather. Setting it to "Yes" merely forces it to use ASE weather in any mode, which is unnecessary and could be quite inefficient.

Do I need to connect via FSWide / Client for this to work as opposed to Simconnect ?

If you are running ASE on another PC, FSUIPC cannot talk to it! The only way it can get ASE weather is if WideFS is also being used on that PC. NOT instead of SimConnect, but AS WELL AS SimConnect.All this is documented in the FSUIPC Advanced Users document, as follows (I've highlighted the relevant part):

General weather optionsUseASEweather: By default FSUIPC4 automatically obtains weather from Active Sky (ASE build 638 or later) in response to weather requests from applications if ASE is running in DWC (direct Weather Control) mode. It can be made to do it even in normal weather modes by adding UseASEweather=Yes to the [General] section of the FSUIPC4.INI file. Alternatively you can prevent FSUIPC4 using ASE at all by setting this parameter to 'No'.If you run ASE on a separate PC then you would need to have WideFS, and run WideClient.exe (version 6.833 or later) there as well for this facility to work. This is the case even if you otherwise have no other use for WideFS on that PC.

This business of forcing ASE Weather by adding that parameter is irrelevant and unnecessary,. I've no idea why that is used, unnecessarily, when other important issues, covered in the same part of the documentation, are ignored or omitted.:-(RegardsPete

Hi PeteMany thanks for your help - I new I was doing something wrong :( Glen
