December 27, 201114 yr Moderator Damien,The other day I finally had a chance to download and install AS2012 and I must say it's the best weather program you have put together yet, however I am having a small problem getting the Drag and Drop weather themes to show up in FSX at my destination airports.To explain further, the other day there was a pretty good snow storm that passed thru west and north west Texas. I loaded AS2012 and FSX and went to Lubbock in the sim and found a great snow storm to use and save for other times. I went ahead and saved the METAR from it and saved it as Lubbock Snow.ast and it shows up in my Drag and Drop weather theme column.So the other day I decided to try it out on a short flight from KIAH(Houston) to KDFW. I loaded the current weather then dragged and dropped using a 50 mile radius the Lubbock Snow theme to KDFW so that I would have snow on arrival.Here are the steps I followed so you can make sure I did it right.1. Load AS2012 on my networked computer and let it load the current weather2. Go into the map screen and drop my Lubbock Snow theme onto KDFW using a 50 mile radius3. Go into the flight plan screen and enter the plan from KIAH to KDFW.4. Check to make sure "Lock to Closest" is checked in the WX Report screen.5. Start FSX on my other computer and do the flightEverything worked fine expect that when I got to KDFW I didn't have weather with snow that equalled the METAR/theme that I dropped in. There was no snow, the visibility was wrond, and the wind was wrong as well.Last night I tried the same thing again, but this time from KDFW to KORD. Loaded the current real weather, then dropped Lubbock Snow them onto KORD with a 60 mile radius this time. The created a flight plan, made sure everything was in order and then started FSX. Once in FSX I did the flight but once again KORD wasn't reflecting the weather theme I placed there even though the Wx Report screen indicated as well as the map screen showing it.Here are a few screen shots I recreated since I forgot to take the snaps before exiting AS2012. Note that it doesn't show FSX and connected because I am just using these as an illistration of how it looked and how I have it set up.image hosthosting imagesimage hosting jpegimage hostSo, in short I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I though that dropping a theme on to my destination airport along with having a flight plan filed would make that theme be depicted in FSX, but currently its not working or I am not doing something correctly.Thanks in advance for the help in getting me to solve this problem.Sean Campbell Avsim Board of Directors | Avsim Forums Moderator
