Hi, I purchased Active Sky 6.5 a while ago from Sim Market (ORDER Number: [Removed for privacy]). I finally got fs2004 up and running on my windows 7 64 machine and I can not seem to run Active Sky as it says it is unregistered (of course, it's a new PC). My e-mail from Sim Market from when I purchased the product has a link to a page that is supposed to have all my details but I can't seem to access that page. So I guess I have two questions, First, does AS 6.5 even work with W7 and if not, is there a free upgrade to a version that will. I am not looking to use this with my FSX install, just FS2004 as I always did previously. Thank you,LouP

Hi Damien, Thanks for getting back to me. I was finally able to get to my page at Sim Market and I could not believe the download link was still active so I downloaded another copy of AS 6.5 that I had purchased. I was also surprised as I did not see any keys associated with my install and it looks like it just installs without any security codes. However, I stopped the install process because at one point I started getting all these warnings about AS messing up FSX if you try and use it there. While I only intend to use this for FS9, my FSX install is on the same machine (different drive though) and I became worried that it would somehow mess that up. This is a Win 7 64 machine and my FSX in on my I: drive and FS9 is on my L: drive. Are the warnings making me worry for no reason? I would hate to mess up my FSX install but I would love to get AS working for FS9 again. Let me know if you need or want me to send you a copy of my invoice from Sim Market or anything. Thank you,Louis Parente (LouP)

Hello, The warnings pertain to using AS Graphics with FSX... the graphics are for FS9 only. ASv6 itself (the weather program) can be used with either version using FSUIPC as the communications interface. I don't think you have anything to worry about, just don't install "graphics" from ASv6's ASG into FSX.

OK, thanks. Fianlly getting back tp this now lol. LouP
