  1. Past hour
  2. Haha 😆 Thanks! I didn’t look around the airport before recording the video, and I got a bit overwhelmed by how good it looked. I might be a bit biased though since I’ve been there so many times IRL and recognized so much of the interior.
  3. I have to say I never would have put money on the 787 winning MSFS madness.
  4. Hi all, the stock scenery for Goodwood is really not very impressive so i installed the addon and it's really well done. Have it in 3 sims now...🙂 I am just working on the setup of my helicopters and my recommendation for the enthusiasts here is to create a special profile for every single heli. It's a lot to do but the only thing which really works. Thank you very much for viewing! Cheers Andreas
  5. If you looke on the REX Discord channel you can see clearly that Weather Force has not been abandoned. All of our products have had regular updates and added features. We just added 5 year historical / archive weather data. We are adding new features soon.
  6. The “never ending cumulus puffs” are not caused by METAR. They are probably a side effect of Asobo’s attempt to improve performance with Live Weather by (among other things) reducing cloud density. And “METAR circles” (at least where clouds are concerned) are no longer a “thing” because I am pretty sure Asobo stopped setting clouds based on METAR quite some time ago - at least a couple of SUs back. All clouds are once again generated by the MeteoBlue model, as they were in the beginning. This can lead to situations some people have observed where the METAR reports thunderstorms, but Live Weather has partly cloudy - it is because the MB model did not predict thunderstorms at a particular location and time. Now “visibility circles” do exist. Surface visibility does still come from the METAR.
  7. Thanks and I like your ole paint, it's a well done classic paint.
  8. Nice shots PM, you must not wait for the approval, simply push the throttles forward...🙂
  9. And me too, enjoyed the 3 sets of fantastic shots, well done Andy. The YSSY seems to fit in a bit better than in P3d. And I must have that little heli thing there, where did you find it please?
  10. I thought selflessness (eg putting the financial gain of others ahead of your own) was a self-assigned gen y/z thing, and boomers were supposed to be selfish? I feel like you're mixing generational metaphors here now. 😁
  11. Of course... What do you think pilots are displaying on their tablets? Forecasts and observations, right? Where do observations come from? METARs. That's literally what a METAR is, simply an accurate, standardized observation of weather conditions over an airport. Without METARs, all we would have would be forecasts. No one in their right mind (and no commercial operator, legally) would commence an approach without an idea of what to expect at the other end of it. Without METARs, there's nowhere else to get that information.
  12. Slow updates, but nowhere near abandoned. Currently on Technical Update 7.0 - Public Beta 3
  13. METARS are not only for VATSIM. While I am a VATSIM member, I don’t fly on the network all that often. They are of use for anyone who uses real-time flight planning tools and charts. When I am flying from point A to B, I constantly monitor the latest METARS and also the current digital ATIS which is available online for most larger airports. It affects all aspects of my flight planning - including which departure runway I will use, and which specific STAR and approach I can expect at the destination.
  14. Anybody know if the Airac is updatable in Activesky
  15. Another city update next month? I really would prefer more world updates…
  16. Wouldn't be a poor imitation of snowing outside?🌨️
  17. Yes Andy and thank you, there are more great sceneries by superspud, he really can do it. Thank's a lot! And thank you PM! 🙂 Glad you like it Bernd, it was some information for me to see Helgoland because I have never been there.
  18. Here is the only place where I found fair and balanced opinions about Active Sky FS. On Reddit, on YT and even on MSFS forum, people are working harder to try to frame it as 'cash grab' or unnecessary, basing their opinions on uneducated guesses (Weather API is closed, so it's definitely rubbish), bad experience with other addons like REX or even on a single streamer who couldn't get Active Sky to work, uninstalled and called it a trash.
  19. Nice video you made there @Cpt_Piett, I enjoyed it. And if we are being honest, I think your Norwegian could use a little work 😉 😁
  20. As for the YouTube weather experts that did a live review without bothering to read any of the documentation on this program , it is 82 pages long and very detailed.
  21. Haven't lost my setting ever! MSFS stores them on the "cloud". One way to assure accessibility to you "cloud" setting is to keep your xbox app and windows are up to date. Also make sure no 3rd party antivirus programs blocking anything
  22. …one of the strangest comments I’ve read on any aviation related forum in a long, long time. You couldn’t be further from the truth if you tried. I mean…what!?
