Ok i understand but with asv 6 I didn't get the overcast look i got with default fs9 clouds!

Hey Jim from ground looking up yes, from over cloud top not around my aircraft, it just seems below my plane that there is no clouds.

Yes, 100%and 24 or 25 fps.

I never really paid attention to it, or looked at metar reports as i do now, so i don't know. But NO i never saw overcast in fs9.

Possibly within 2 miles of the reporting station, but as for the overcast im pretty sure all stations were reporting overcast from where i was travelling, it was a snow blast storm north east. I was in the middle of the storm, I actually heard thunder storm clouds too, did not really fit in as per the conditions reported. This was a CYYZ to CYUL flight between 6 pm yesterday evening.

Yes and yes. Visibility was at 0 sm but as i was climbing i noticed it was not overcast and the report was overcast.

Can someone remind me why i don't see overcast conditions, they are simply broken in fs9?Was there a fix, its a horrible feeling without!

test flight done, after i land no traffic departs, noone is cleared for takeoff, hold short is filled up with planes. noone landing.I turned off ai smooth and it seems planes started departing!some disappeared at the hold short, i guess its more than 5 mins and fs9 deletes them.

I understand you have 4 atc and 3 pilots on the team but trust me its wrong, why would the airport matter, its not protocol to line up before departure (if no traffic), in real life i've heard from the hold short position "cleared for immediate takeoff boeing 767 on final, what your gonna position and tell him to hold..Its funny you say it depends on the airport, traffic is traffic, and position and hold is given to speed things up by having a departure aircraft takeoff while giving the command to position and hold this saves some time and by regulation another plane cannot be on the runway example you cant clear 2 planes for takeoff. So you have one get ready and when the other is airborne you clear the other for takeoff assuming you don't have to wait for a heavy and wake turbulence.I never said its wrong but if there is no traffic, he should be cleared for takeoff period you dont tell them to hold, nothing to hold for. Trust me I know! I don't have to be on the team to know!

Hi jd, i'm doing some testing, i have a question about tower and position and hold, do you not tell me to takeoff if there is no departing or arriving traffic, why the position and hold. I'm pretty sure in real life they would clear me for takeoff from the hold short position.Just an observation!

SOrry but when I click rebuild nothing happens, i have to give the fs9 path, C:program files etc.......I also did this countless times, when specifing the path it will run the file and give me the total of runways and airports at the end.

Hi Ronzie,1.As for Ai smooth i had version V1.12 so i updated to 2.0, i unchecked "user plane response" if thats what you meant, it was checked in my older version?2.Makerwys i had V4.1.2, so i updated to 4.2.5. Being in the fs9 folder, i noticed 2 files called scenery before mega EDDF installed.cfg not sure if this should be there it does seem like a backup but, i wonder how fs9 handles a name like that, does it even look at it. I have the master scenery.cfg and some other scenery.bak and scenery.old i may have created these in case of problems with scenery, anyway i didn't touch any of these. Just need to be assured anything other than scenery.cfg will not be looked at by fs9 or makerwys. I did not have one for LOWW!!3.I'm ok with 3rd party afcad for eddf basically no duplicates.4.Ai refresh is handled automatically for me after the writes. I usually do start RC after my route is created in active sky and writes are complete. Thanks for the heads up!5. I guess the next step would be to run makerwys via RC?I will not be flying until Friday or Saturday unfortunately to test due to some busy work schedules, but i will gladly try all these changes and see what effect it has.EDIT:I do have the latest FSUIPC 3.75Thanks!

Anyone else have this problem with fly tampa scenery and radar contact?At EDDF flights seemed to depart on RWY 7 but not RWY 25.I'm confused!!

Not home right now but i will let you know which version i have, i just purchased RC4.3 so its whatever file you bundled with it, i never had that file, that i know of.As for the rebuild scenery i'm only supposed to point the path of the root of fs9 right? Not of the add on scenery! Both airports were add ons LOWW and EDDF but both were different scenarios, departure for EDDF and arrival for LOWW.

Not 100% sure but did you ask for PD, early enough before you initiated the descent?p.s.Question, seeing you landed at LIPZ, did you hear any pre recorded chatter over Italy?

ANyone have this happen, my AI will not depart all traffic freezes at the airport even after im landed, tower is speechless no activity at all. I had about 12 planes lined up waiting for takeoff instructions, no one ws moving it wasn't even rush hour therefore it was just an accumulation of planes to depart. It happened at EDDF but i clicked refresh ai and problem solved due to change of winds, then it worked, now i was landing so there was no way i wanted to click refresh ai and have the runway change on me when im on short final. so I landed but all planes ceased activity. This has been really weird and not realistic in my last two flights. Prior to these i wan't even paying attention to airport activity with RC. But flying into these airports all activity under fs9 atc was normal.This airport was LOWW. I ran rebuild scenery databasse by pointing to my fs9 folder. Since LOWW is (fly tampa scenery) I would like to see the flow move along or does RC just freeze everybody because im coming in, i've had planes in the air with me on final which i had to surpass so i don't go around, in fact my altitude was lower then the other ai, so i went ahead and i got clearance, however that plane never came back , no clue what happened.Can anyone explain to me the RC engine and if what im noticing is normal!I do use AI smooth but in another post it was said to be ok. Besides that i cant think of anything. I realise fs does not take the wind into consideration but mine seems to really care, no aircraft will takeoff with a tailwind.???

I looked at the manual and coincidentally you mention EDDF in the example, no chatter exists at all forget german accented chatter.

Great thanks i'll look into it.Still no clue what happened at RWY 25R @ EDDF....Btw RC has made me want to flight sim again great program!

Yup interaction with ai on and ai chatter on.Euro chatter, any easy way to know which centers include these. If its to complicated forget it, i'll be surprised thats all!

Speeding up the voices helped alot!I'm glad thats cleared up.However taking off from EDDF this morning was a mess, it may not be RC, but here is what happened, i was told to taxi runway 25r where there was about 10 other aircraft none of them moved for about 30 minutes and i waited. There wasn't much arriving aircraft as they could of told other planes to depart in the mean time. Then i decided to look at the winds, so i used refresh AI from active sky's menu and the runway changed they were all being taxied to 07L so i asked ground and they gave me 07L, which at this point the flow was much better and realistic, it felt as if the AI did not want to depart from a tailwind runway at all not even taxi into position. As for the pre recorded chatter i installed the full fs9 RC, i heard some in the USA but none yet in Europe :( (is this possible)?? I loved OCEANIC thanks for that!

Any way of knowing where the pre recorded chatter exists?I'll try speeding up voice files to see what happens!
