December 16, 20187 yr Hi Dave. I just picked up ASXP. I know it just came out, but curious if there's any way to use the current P2A built in settings for Active Sky with ASXP - or if it will require an update? I nosed around a bit and couldn't find the snapshot file that P2A references for the setting - so I suspect it will be different in X-Plane and require an update. Is this a feature that you'll be able to incorporate into X-Plane? Thanks!
December 16, 20187 yr Active Sky for xplane writes to the standard metar.rwx file, so you just have to point P2ATC to read sim weather.
December 16, 20187 yr Commercial Member Looking at a couple of sample METAR.rwx, the format and content is not the same as X-Plane's normal Metar.rwx file. If your's is the same, then that might work also. I understand that the Active Sky for X-Plane has a different location for the current_wx_snapshot.txt file at: C:/Users/<UserName>/App Data/Roaming/HiFi/AS_XPL/Weather, where <UserName> is your PC user name. It seems pointing P2A's Wx to that folder and choosing Active Sky Weather works. Dave Edited December 16, 20187 yr by Dave-Pilot2ATC Updated Path
December 16, 20187 yr Author Thanks Dave! I was coming back here to post that I was having mixed results using the x-plane file when I saw your ur post. I also had to put ATIS back through x-Plane, otherwise I got the “no weather available” message when using the P2A option. I will try your suggestion described above and see if that solves it. Thanks!
December 16, 20187 yr Author That works like a charm Dave! The P2A ATIS now giving me ASXP weather. Very cool! Thanks!
December 16, 20187 yr Hmm, i did 3 flights with ASXP this weekend and the "sim weather" seemed to be fine. Winds and altimeter shown in P2ATC seemed to match what i had in Xplane, but i admit i haven't looked so close to tell both were 100% identical. But thanks Dave, so I will be using Active Sky weather in P2A from now on.
