Voice weather briefings not working in REX Sky Force?

Featured Replies

Hi, I've noticed in the past month or so, I am unable to get the voice enabled weather briefings in the P3D.  Is this just me or is it something on their end?  Anyone else having this problem?

If it's just me, does anyone have troubleshooting advice please?  I really like this feature and I miss it already.

Thanks

I found Rex broke for me when windows updates.

The spoken weather briefing is working fine at my P3D 5.4 system. Have you checkes the insim weather settings? Choose global settings and then Engine.

All the engine settings and weather briefing settings are enabled including Audible Weather Briefings and the engine itself, I just double checked and everything that needs to be on is on.  I appreciate the suggestion, it's always good to double check settings but in this case it's not the problem.

I'm thinking then, if it is just me having this problem, that I need to reinstall Sky Force, hopefully that will do it.

I hope so for you that it is fixed after  a reinstall. Please let me know if you succeeded.

IF someone has REX could they take a picture of the weather depiction of the east coast of Australia today?   I have AS and I am very upset with its depiction/modelling of a Category 2 TRS.  If REX can depict it, I'm in.

I actually never tried flying towards a hurricane before so I decided to try it just for fun.  I took 34 screenshots along the way, feel free to check out the album I made of the flight.

I took off from Gold Coast Intl (YBCG), turned to the south east over the ocean and directly towards Hurrican Alfred.  I then turned back around and headed north west to land at Brisbane Intl (YBBN).  I did not fly very deep into the storm because I didn't have time but I still had some interesting weather.

I've always been told Active Sky is a more accurate weather engine but I still very much enjoy the weather REX gives me just fine, plus it offers the best looking clouds you can get in P3D.   I will show a couple photos here but here's a link to the entire album:
