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 zulu 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,

We've been having a download problem since atleast Saturday. I just tried downloading through AS6.5 and get nothing at all. I haven't tried my ASE yet but expect it's the same. I would be nice to get some detail from the HiFi people as to what's happening, and when the server might be back up.

ok then so it is not something caused by any of my faulty action or not being able to update the ASv6 to ASv6.5. It is basically the server connections hence the internet.

 

I just opened the ASv6 now and here is just one sample:

 

Local Date/Time: 4/9/2012 21:41

System Zulu Date/Time: 4/9/2012 18:41Z

Active wx: 091253Z

 

Online Mode Weather update completed

 

Closest Station Report: LTBA/0nm

 

LTBA091320Z 01012KT 340V060 9999 -SHRA FEW013 BKN033 BKN090 09/05 Q1006 NOSIG

 

 

Is this normal ?

Hi,

 

I 'd like to add my findings on the above subject.

Time now is 20:30Z and the latest possible METAR I got is of 13:00Z for LGAV. Not real time weather any more.

Is this fixable or do all we have to suffer this ?

Hello, is it fixed or still down ? somebody please answer us :)

Why does Active Sky authorities preserve their silence ? What's the problem ? At least you may announce that yes there is a problem or not. Then we can continue to follow our own way. But please take our comments into consideration and say something. Having a technical problem and stating that for all of AS fans including me is not a bad thing.

 

please, thanks

My guess is that it is related to the same factors that are slowing processing on the desktop. See this discussion http://forum.avsim.n...ic/368701-asv6/. I doubt if this issue will be fixed. ASE and AS2012 are less than an hour behind, as expected.

Hello ubersu,

Like you said, if ASE or AS2012 seem to be the only remedy to fix this problem since they operate quiet well then let me ask you this, do any of these ASE or AS2012 support FS2004 ? ASv6 is 4 hours behind unexpectedly.

First of all, if you check the top of the forum, this is no longer the "official" support forum of Hifi. http://forum.avsim.n...lly-unofficial/

 

I just fired up AS6.5 (I don't use it much anymore) and this is what I got as METAR at 20Z

 

LTBA 101620Z 03010KT 9999 -SHRA FEW013 BKN025 BKN080 07/04 Q1012 NOSIG

 

Then I fired up AS2012 at 20Z

 

LTBA 101820Z 07508KT 10SM -RA BKN025 BKN080 08/04 A2991

 

So, there is a lag in AS6.5 in my test, but about 3-4 hours. In AS2012, it's the usual 1-2 hrs, depending on reported data uplink.

 

I'd suggest you contact Hifi through their official support portal at http://support.hifitechinc.com to see what they can do.

ASE is compatible with FS2004, as it states on the Hifi product page.

Thank you very much. Yeah, you're right. Subsequently I checked the main activesky page and saw that ASE supports both fs9 and fsx. by the way, many thanks for your attention.

ASE supports FS2004 with no issues and even supports GEPro if you have that package. Having gotten used to ASE after using AS6 and AS6.5 for years, I rather like it.
