fsx-ms Active Sky 2016

[Mixer21 0]

So, I recently got ActiveSky2016 weather engine, and I don't know how to get Weather Radar to work on either PMDG 737-800NGX or PMDG 777. Also, am I able to use it in this version of Hifisimtech products? Because in the PMDG Introduction, I've read that you need Active Sky Next, or later version.

 

Thanks! I appreciate any help!

Did you get ASN (Active Sky Next)?  ActiveSky2016..is it the same?   http://support.precisionmanuals.com/kb/a109/weather-radar-troubleshooting.aspx

I got ActiveSky2016, not ASN. But isn't it working on ActiveSky2016 too?

Did you read through the link to PMDG radar not working?

 

The weather radar requires the latest version of Active Sky Next by HiFi Technologies Inc. (hereafter referred to as "ASN"):

Yes. And probably I can't use ActiveSky2016 as a Weather Radar tool. That's a pity.

ActiveSky 2016 is the latest weather generation tool in the ActiveSky family, and is indeed functional with any ActiveSky compatible 3rd party integrations (such as the PMDG 777 and other programs)

Wow, thank you!  :smile:  But how to connect it and how to turn it on?

Have you tried just pressing the WXR button in the cockpit?

Did  you follow  the guide  that was  posted  on  the post 2  of  this  thread,  and   in the above post of  mine,    also you need  to be  flying  in actual  rain  for you  to see  the actual  radar  to work

I turned on WXR mode, set up heavy precipitation and turned up Gain a little bit but it just doesn't seem to work.
