Will ActiveSky work with VMI twick VR?

Recommended Posts

VMI makes changes the cloud/atom when fps falls. Is this going to be in conflict with ActiveSky which is also feeding data every 15 min?  Anybody uses both together and does it work?   

Another question is I thought we were suppose to select METAR.rwx when using ActiveSky.  What I am observing is that when I choose metar file something changes it back to "Custom Weather". I haven't kept up but maybe ActiveSky no longer uses METAR.rwx?

WMI Twick and Active sky won't conflict in any way. VMI only affects to how the clouds are rendered while Active Sky still decides where to place them. I've been using them together for months.

Yes, you're still supposed to point X-Plane to METAR.rwx when using Active Sky. Check out their manual, it's very well written.

Does your weather switches from "Custom METAR.rwx" to "Customized" after sim run for few min?

I can't confirm but off the top of my head I think it stays at Custom METAR.rwx. Have you checked that you're not running any plugins (NOAA etc.)?

It is working now.. I removed Termal-X and that maybe responsible.
