Active Sky and V5

Recommended Posts

Hello guys,

I'm using Active Sky and its latetest build 7479 and P3DV5.

But in every rainy conditions there are no precipitation. Just a few clouds but no rain. I tried it with and without EA.

And it is not really overcast altough the weather conditions says OVC015 for example

Go into user /app data /roaming/hifi/ weather folder and delete the lastweatherdownload.wx file ,I believe.

and restart activesky which will create a new file.

There must be something going on with your set up.

I just flew from Stewart (CZST) in W Canada to Juneau. I have Rex Sky Force and Environment pro working with non EA, plus ASP3D. With both EA and non EA It accurately depicted 100% overcast, mist and rain all the way to the coast until it cleared up as per the METAR,  over the coast near Juneau.

i was playing a bit with various settings so I can vouch that it works well enough. (within its limitations) in v5,

You've probably already checked, but is your Wx Control page showing, "Live Weather Mode is Active"?

Just a thought.

Do your clouds not flicker?  With old weather engine, clouds constantly flicker
