I am testing out the demo version and have it working on a networked desktop and laptop both running W764.  And using FSX Acceleration. 

 

While the client aircraft moves with the server aircraft the clouds (which are supposed to sync, right?) are very different between computers.  I've included two screen captures that should tell the story.

 

The server has crazy striped, prismatic cirrus, while the client has something that looks very real, altho not what the current station weather is reporting during the update process.  I don't have any weather add ons that could be interfering.  So far as I know I followed all the directions.  The anomaly seems to occur with any kind of aircraft, and goes away when user chosen weather is selected with in OPUS.  Does the Opus sync visible aspects of weather, ie: clouds, and what might be causing these prismatic cloud streets?

 

Any ideas?  And while you are at it... I am knew to Avsim.  Is there anyway to search the Opus forum for subjects, excluding the rest of Avsim so I might be able to effectively filter through other users experiences and perhaps save a moderator from having to deal with an issue that has already been explained/solved.  Thanks Bob 

Cheryl will answer you on this one. Graphics driver problems I think, nothing to do with weather as such.

You should install the same textures on both the server and client if you haven't already done so.

 

I believe someone else had this problem and the solution turned out to be updating the graphics driver.

 

I will try to find the post in a moment. You can search AVSIM using the search box top right of this page but I don't think you can restrict the search to particular forums, apart from entering Opus as part of the search string, someone will correct me if I am wrong. You can restrict the search to our OpusFSX forum on SimForums.

Couldn't find the other post but as I previously said I'm sure an update of the graphics driver solved the problem.

 

Once your clouds are sorted if the weather is still not in sync on the server and clients it is most likely a problem with access to the weather theme file on the server. You must set all the sharing, security and permissions on both systems to ensure the correct file access and writing privileges. You must also set up your network as described in the manual to allow access to your weather theme file on your server system by the client system.

 

In your client configuration ensure you are specifying the client's sim installation folder.

See the Letters in the Sky topic in our SimForums, this is something to do with an ini file and REX textures.

The problem was solved after HDEv2 cloud textures were installed.
