When I do the new route and import the plan it get stuck on calculating closet wx stations. hing else work fine. Any ideas what this could be?

. . . same here :-(

 

Using ASV6.5 with FSX & FS9 for quite a while and "now all over sudden" I can confirm same problem.

 

Also interested in what's causing this "slow down"

Ok I have read different post but have not see a soulution When I hit process I timed it yesterday and it took over 30 min to process 12 waypoints. Is this a server problem maybe because its a old program and not supported anymore? It was working fine a couple days ago.

That's because there is no solution - if you read post #36 in that thread you would see the following response from HiFi to a submitted trouble ticket:

 

"We have investigated this issue and have determined that it is caused by the latest new format of METAR data which includes cloud base information such as: FEW210/// SCT240///

 

This format is new as of the past few months and is causing increased overhead during ASv6.5 processing of METAR information resulting in the delayed flight plan processing especially.

 

Unfortunately without a re-design of the related systems we cannot improve this, and further updates of ASv6.5 are not planned. ASv6.5 has reached end of life and is no longer sold, with support on this product ending soon (8 years old now).

 

I wish we could offer a performance improvement for this legacy software but it is not possible. We would recommend considering our latest currently-supported software such as ASE and is not subject to such issues (nor development constraints when issues do arise)."

well until a week ago this was fast! Now this explains it... too bad there is no way to get older formatted current METAR data and have ASv6 redirect to that.

Hi there,

 

I need somebody's help regarding my problem and maybe other users are facing off this problem too.

 

I have been receiving old data from the servers of hifiim for couple of weeks when I open the programme. It keeps providing with the very old data and does not download the latest metar, therefore regardless of wherever I am, I am always 3 or 4 hours behind the correct latest metar time which is calculated in Zulu. Here is an example. At LTBA (Istanbul Ataturk Airport) The the local time is 21.00 so the sulu is -3 behind which is 18.00Z but the metar that was provided by AS is from 09.20Z or something like that and it does not update. Is there a general problem with the servers or is it that I have to upgrade the programme where there is no chance or hope anymore of using my ASv6.

 

 

The programme version I use is ASv6 not the ASv6.5.

 

I would appreciate it very much if someone could help me with any ideas.

 

 

Regards,

Ah ok, my problem has been answered ASVv6.5 has come to the end of it's life......what a pity. My FS9 is far from the end of it's life. :Nerd:

I do recommend ASE as a replacement - it allows interface with GEPro and provides an excellent weather engine for FS9 that is also able to interface with FSX should you decide to get iinvolved with that sim at some point. ASE allows the use of ASG as a texture provider for weather themes as well. I used ASV6.5 for a long time and then got ASE and am very happy with its weather engine for FS9.

Thankyou for your help DJ, I will go for ASE.
