CFLYN

Sounds like a great idea! Could you suggest how to configue it?

See "ATC Radar Screen" by Manuel Ambulo, file "atcrds50.zip" on AVSIM

What a loss! I once replied in one of Opa's post that he was a "treasure" to the flight sim community.He was amused and humble as always at being referred to as a "treasure". He truely was!

Does anyone have any more information on the QualityWings model?

There's an United Express/Air Wisconsin re-paint in the following file on Flight Sim "awi14604.zip"

Where can I get a copy of the TP manual before installing TP?

Kendall:I can't help you much with this query. I don't have FSX and haven't used FS9 Wx very much either. I believe FS9 downloads from Jeppsen?I suggest you try FSMetar. It's free and an easy install and you can compare the two.

Dick:Thanks for your post. I have had a chance to go through the info from your link. It was very helpful.

Here's a comparison between ADDS and VATSIM.

If you follow the URL's in the ini file you may get some insight into the problem. Here are the URL's from the ini file:[General]FSRefresh =60InternetRefresh=10IvaoURL = http://www.ivao.aero/network/metar.aspVatsimURL = http://usa-s1.vatsim.net/data/metar.php?id=ALLNooaURL = http://weather.noaa.gov/pub/data/observations/metar/cycles/Proxy =NOAutoRefresh=OnIvaoOnline=http://www.ivao.aero/network/metar.asp?Id=VatsimOnline=http://usa-s1.vatsim.net/data/metar.php?id=NooaOnline=http://weather.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/mgetmetar.pl?cccc=FSMessages=YesDebug=NoLanguageFile=English.lngDefaultServer=NOAAStartDownloadingMetars=YESExternalCOMPort= 8084ExternalCOMHost= 127.0.0.1Banner=banner.gifProxyUser=ProxyPassword=The IVAO and VATSIM URl's return a large block of data in a text file. The NOAA page gives a list of text files. I think in the second stage of the NOAA download. These file are "unpacked".If you follow the refresh URL's, the NOAA URL doesn't seem to work.Although NOAA data will download most of the time,I don't use NOAA because I don't think it refreshs. I use VATSIM or ICAO because I'm sure it refreshs and I'm not that concerned that NOAA is much better than VATSIM or ICAO.Perhaps fellow Simmers can advise how Active Sky works?

I tested the NOAA server a few times. I failed once.Here's two screenshots.

I usually download from Vatsim so I don't use NOAA very often. I presume you get the same warning message about the length of time to download from NOAA as I do. I have had the NOAA download fail but only on a few occasions and I just re-downloaded. I presume the failure was due to a time out on a server. Sometimes I download the weather and save it to file and fly that weather if I'm not too fussy about real time weather.I don't have a licenced version of FSUIPC but I doubt that matters.You have me stumped. It sounds like you know more than I do on the subject. Sorry I can't be more help.

Are you using Version 1.5.5?Do you have the FSUIPC key?Here is my ini file.// Fichero de configuraci

Are you referring to FSMetars or FSMetar?FSMetar works fine with NOAA data.see:http://personal.telefonica.terra.es/web/fsmetar/
