REX weather Engine VS Active Sky fs2004?i

Featured Replies

I went threw this about two weeks ago I had REX all ready and for the most part the

Forum was correct in saying Rex for textures and Active sky for weather. So I went

ahead and purchased Active sky...And they were correct they work great together.

The only issue I have is what are the correct settings to get the best out of the two

Programs. Can anyone help me with this.?

 

Thanks

Like RJ I prefer my Flight PC to not be connected to the internet....but it can be and is when I need to d/l real weather or activate addons.

 

The main and HUGE difference between AS6.5 and ASE. After I d/l a slice of real weather I then input my flight plan.

 

AS6.5 would create the weather all along my flight plan to my destination and then I would shut down AS6.5

 

ASE will only create the weather up to about 400miles out from my start point so I have to keep it active and let it update the weather as I fly along. (My screen would flash every time it updated)

 

The problem I started to get with AS6.5 was when I tried to input a flightplan it would take forever to try to create the weather.

 

I sent an email to HiFi and was told this is a known problem and they were not going to fix it....I would have to update to ASE.

 

Thankyou for the offer RJ.....I may well take you up on it. I am used to going to make a cup of tea while ASE starts up for the mo' :smile:

 

Hi, sorry for bringing the topic up but are you using windowed mode or full screen mode? I've been using 6.5 for a very long time now and thinking of upgrading to ASE, but I hate when my sim flash for any reasons..
