For anyone who gets the "ASN Cannot Control Ambient Weather" error in FSX:SE

[usairways56 42]

Guys I just bought ASN for FSX Steam Edition and I ran into some errors. Thankfully I figured out how to fix them after some in-depth forum searching. However, I'd just like to share what solved the problem for me, because it isn't very clearly posted around. 

I kept getting the "Cannot control ambient weather" error which lead to a ASN crash. I tried to exclude ASN and some of the .dlls from Microsoft Security Essentials, but kept getting the error. So I read and found that I had to go and edit the dml.xll file in the folder:

 

C:\Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX-SE

 

Right click, edit, and then add the following:

 

<Launch.Addon>

<Name>as_connect</Name>

<Disabled>False</Disabled>

<Path>as_srv\as_btstrp.dll</Path>

</Launch.Addon>

 

between 

 

</Launch.Addon>

</SimBase.Document>

This should be done automatically when the FSX configurator application is run (I run SE also and never had that problem).

 

If it didn't work properly, please send in a ticket at HifiSim so they may track and determine the problem.
