ActiveskyWX user question

Featured Replies

The (Avsim) Activesky forum seems dead ...so figure I'd post here instead.

 

For anyone using Activesky(any version) for FS9...having any trouble getting upper-level winds to be anywhere close to real current/forecast conditions?

 

Last few days forecasts through the middle of the US ADDS has shown winds at upper altitudes over 100kts, mostly westerly.

 

I am still using an older version of Activesky(2004), but up until now it has been pretty accurate with downloading/installing current/forecast winds....now the downloaded data file(while still accurate with airport conditions)are way off with winds aloft.

 

Example from yesterday for KDEN area

 

ADDS http://www.aviationweather.gov/windtemp/data?level=l&fcst=06&region=all&layout=on

 

260 122 -51....34000
260 112 -60....39000

 

AS(from data file)

 

010 051 -52.9.....34000
349 039 -57.5.....39000

 

I don't know if I accidentally changed something or what....just wanting to know if anyone else is having this issue...perhaps with newer AS versions...

 

Thanks
