Weather- AS and SKF

Featured Replies

can someone explain why does AS show partly cloudy conditions and then you get overcast conditions? This happens numerous times, maybe a setting in SKF?

SKF?

No its not SF.

I see 1-2-3-4-5-6-7 Okta's with AS+SF 

Have you got force 7/8 ON in AS (ON by default) try turning it off.

i have it activated, will turn it off and try tx for the hint

Did you DISABLE the weather engine of SkyForce...? If SF is pumping in weather you apparently haven't done that. You can't have two captains on one ship: it's either AS as weather engine or the SF weather engine. Using both will give odd results.

skyforce weather is disabled since i installed it weeks ago

When you say Clear skies, that's not cavok AS can give a few clouds. Very low less that 1/8 but not cavok.

Sky Force will re-enable itself every time you open it. You have to turn the SF weather engine slider on and then off to reset it each time. Then confirm that the SF weather engine status reads as disabled rather than disconnected.

Really?  I hadn’t heard that before.  So even though Sky Force shows the weather engine as being off it is actually on if I don’t turn it on then off?

If it is showing "Disabled" it is off.

It's just that, for me and a few others, if you turn the SF weather engine (SFWE) off (showing disabled) then shut down and restart SF, the SFWE will be back on, ie showing disconnected if the sim is not running sim or connected if it is.

Yes that is correct if you mean the SFWE slider position. It can be in the "off" position with the SFWE actually being on. The only thing you can trust at the moment is the SFWE status displayed near the top of the page.
