August 27, 201213 yr So i am at KFLL where right know there is bad weather and rain and yet in FSX its white cloud not too crazy. Whats wrong? Thanks!
August 27, 201213 yr Commercial Member I just flew in there from Atlanta and landed around 330pm local time in a torrential rainstorm with 25mph gusts. I didn't see 9L till I was 300 ft. AGL. Regards, Dave Opper HiFi Support Manager

August 28, 201213 yr Commercial Member So why would it be doing that then? I don't know. Must be settings. I can post my settings from my .ini file in the Active Sky forum. The wx from Accuweather had said 300 ft. overcast. Regards, Dave Opper HiFi Support Manager
August 29, 201213 yr If that happens restart AS2012. A couple months ago sometimes if I left Active Sky open after restarted FSX the weather wouldn't sync up and just restarting it would fix the problem.
August 29, 201213 yr Launch ActiveSky and let it do its' thing then load FSX with the AS button. I've had a lot of problems getting the correct weather and clouds myself, but I've found that if I let AS load and stabilize I then press the "Refresh Weather" button and then it seems to work better. I tried this at KMSY this morning and at first I had clear skies and no wind which I knew was wrong. I then refreshed the weather and came up with moderate rain, winds 280 at 50 gusting to 70. This was pretty close to the NOAA reports. Also, I found that if I minimized AS to the task bar, it would shut down and I wouldn't have anything but clear skies and no wind in FSX. I tried minimizing AS to the system tray, and it worked as it should. Thank you.

August 30, 201213 yr I only use historical weather so I always load Active Sky after my flight has been loaded in and find that it works the best for me. The only time I've had issues was when I left AS open and restarted FSX.
August 30, 201213 yr I don't know. Must be settings. I can post my settings from my .ini file in the Active Sky forum. The wx from Accuweather had said 300 ft. overcast. Dave If you are using the DWC mode please post your .ini file and the FSXOptions.cfg file in the Active Sky forum. Thank you Michael Cubine Michael Cubine
August 30, 201213 yr Commercial Member That what I meant by the ini file. The FSXOptions.cfg. I'll post it up now. Regards, Dave Opper HiFi Support Manager
