Weather Radar not working with ASN

[MadDogMan 7]

I agree!

 

 

 

Plus I have a customized FSUIPC ini file. I am not gonna just delete it because it worked on someones PC somewhere by doing that I think it's jumping the gun a bit by saying this has been answered when quite obviously it is not.

4.928 - no apparent issues so far w/ highly customized FSUIPC.ini. Perhaps there is a new option in 4.929 that conflicts with the WXR; deleting the file may simply have the effect of reverting it to a sensible default.

I did not apply the 4.929c update

934a is the latest. it does pay to have the latest, especially now ASN SP1 is not far away

Alright everyone, I finally got the weather radar to work, so I will list out the steps that I took to get it to work for those of you who are still having difficulty. 

 

1.) I deleted the FSUIPC4.dll file from FSX Installation Folder\Modules 

2.) I installed FSUIPC again. However, I did not apply the 4.929c update, I just stuck with 4.929

3.) I deleted the FSUIPC.ini file. 

4.) I loaded up Active Sky 

5.) I loaded up FSX, went to settings, customize, and went to the weather tab. 

6.) Under cloud detail, I selected "detailed clouds" (I had simple clouds checked before). 

7.) I loaded up the T7, turned on the WXR, and it worked like a charm. 

 

As mentioned earlier, a great scenario to test the WXR from the ground is KNPA on April 30, 2014 at 11:00Z. 

 

Happy flying everyone!

 

 

Item no.6 worked for me.

Could be another FSX quirk.

 

WXR works like a charm for my T7 now, Thanks!

Check that your ASN radar data network port is open. Port 19284 (TCP)

To check this: Open command prompt and type "netstat -an" without the quotes. You can view the list of ports that are open.

[MadDogMan 7]

How to open that port?

Make sure you select TCP, not UDP when using the set up wizzard

This is for networked users? Not running on the same PC users?

Yes thats what I mean, ok lets try this one. But i have fsuipc and REEX, is iT conflicting with each other if I install ASN?

[ZKOKQ 984]

You can't use the weather function of Rex if using ASN. And of course REX won't give you the weather radar in the 777.

No conflict with FSUIPC. Use the latest version.

Highly recommend ASN.

Got that port added tcp . still have nothing. Darn it

[ZKOKQ 984]

I must apologize for some incorrect info. the port 19284 is for networked set ups.
