April 4, 201214 yr So I still have ASv6 and use it for FS2k4 on windows XP but I noticed now it does not download the latest METAR as I recall it used to, now its 2-3 hours behind, I have it set to sync with my system time not the FS time and yet this continues to happen. For example it will be 15:50z ASv6 will be using 13:52z instead of say 14:53z or or even the 15:50z update. How can I fix this? Or do I need to upgrade? The reason I haven't upgraded is two reasons: A) I like my setup and B) ASE doesn't come with any graphics, ASE I think works with FS2k4 but ASv2012 does not) and C) ASv6 works with GEPro I don't know of anything else that would work, I don't really "need" to have GEPro to make it work, but I like it. So any suggestions/ideas?

DJ I had more trouble with REX, so maybe I will try it again but the advantage of ASv6 graphics is that I could have it set based on what weather was loaded; I forget if I can do that with REX or not which I have REX already, so all I would need to do is revert ASv6 graphics back to default, keep GE Pro and install REX And get ASE maybe

So, you fire up ASE, load a flightplan, run GEPro, and then run REX to get sky, etc, textures and close REX. Then run FS. DJ

I also have FSWater, probably one of the better water textures I know of too (even though REX gives you more flexibility)
