Hello! The DF Switch is also referred as the Antenna Switch and located at the Radio Station. The Cockpit Escape Hatch definitely works: The Q&A page at the B-314 section of our website currently has no data as we have not found any "general issues" to be announced there.

Seems to be a landing at the wrong airport, sir ... ;-) Cheers!

Great! THX! Cheers!

Hello! Is it normal, that a PayPal paid order takes more than 36h to process? I am waiting since yesterday morning for the download links. Yes, I have opened a ticket yesterday evening, but no answer so far. Any ideas? Thank you! Stefan Schaefer

Well, only certain versions don't work. These mostly are used by persons, who can not provide an order number, when they ask for support. ;-) V 1.8 is in heavy work now and will provide some substantial internal changes and a new more modern GUI. All this will open the prospective for many external changes to come. It will also be the base for a boxed version. Our Servers from release of V1.8 will provide 8 instead of 4 hourly weather updates. Many ICAO updates will be done and more data sources will be implemented, expecially for remote areas. V1.8 will be a mandatory update for all users, as we will shut down the 1.7 servers soon after release as we will use them otherwise. This is work in progress and no complete listing ... Cheers!

Just to update all following readers: The problem MRMISTER had, was sorted out on our support forum. Using the right version did the trick ... Since Zoho30 is silent, I assume, this "problem" was sorted out as well. Cheers and thank you!

@Zoho30: You write (Oktober 30th), you posted at our Support Forum and still are wainting an answer. Can you please tell me under what Forum Name you were posting? I can not find an any relevant unanswered question. @mrmister: I have answered to your request in our Support Forum. Please email the appropriate file. Thank you!

Some more clarifications about FS Global Real Weather: Today I received a message from PMDG. There is a chance, that due to some reason or other at least one message from them may not have reached us. The facts stated above were correct from my point of view at the time of writing. However, I do not hesitate to admit, that they may be seen not to be correct from another point of view. There was no intention to affront PMDG. What comes remains to be seen. Many controversies in the world could be avoided by placing oneself into the position of the other.

Hello! I guess we have done that. There is a special hurricane awareness and depiction built in. Additionally we are supporting Local Weather Effects. The winter storms of the past months have rendered really great in FS Global Real Weather. Maybe they still can be grabbed using the "historic weather" function. More info on our website. You also can get a trial version from there. Cheers!

Just some clarification on this. We at PILOT'S have contacted PMDG some estimated 6 months ago for supporting a weather radar for their 777 using our FS Global Real Weather. Unfortunately, despite several emails and using personal contacts we have not heard back and all emails remained unanswered. For our customers we are of course interested in supporting the 777 and upcoming PMDG aircraft, but it will not work w/o talking to us. :-)

Hello! Weather Add-Ons: PILOT'S FS Global Real Weather is P3D V2.1 compatible since build 016 end of January. Pls amend master list. THX! Stefan Schaefer

After setup you are asked for which sim you want to install (FSX/FS2004). Just disable both. This silences FSUIPC installation.

@Rob: Just to let you know, I just released Build 017 which addresses your previous problem. After installation you can switch back on "Improve Stratus Overcast". Use the built in autoupdate function to get it.

You can leave "low vis cloud layer" on. That definitely is not the problem. The two selections in the middle are irgnored in P3D regardles of the setting. They are default on and should be for best results in FSX/P3D V1.4.

@Loge, I just tested your scenario. I am having a rock solid 30fps on a GTX 780 (no TI, no Titan no Black, just GTX 780). This increases to 33fps if I disable volumetric fog. So far the facts from here, now we need to define what you call "unflyable". I also had little impact on the visual when disabling VF. Personally I guess, most things depend on settings and it is very difficult to compare, if we have different standards. P3D V2.1 is just starting. I guess we can expect many more things to come in the future. @Rob, OK, THX. We are already aware of the fact, that under certain weather conditions a feature for better depiction of OVC (which works well in FSX and 1.4) "exaggerates" in 2.1. ;-) We will get it to behave shortly. For the time being, you can disable "Improve Stratus Overcast" in the settings menu at the "Visibility & Clouds" area.

Hi Jeroen, you have to make a selection every time you start FSGRW. There is an autorun feature however, which will follow the choices you provide in the autostart parameters. At this stage it will download current weather. Up to now there was no such request to have an autostart parameter for historic weather. In my view this would only make sense, if one wants to fly with the same historic weather every time. Is this really the case? We may however consider a future feature, which will call for FS date and time and then load the nearest available historic weather. Needs to be thought about of course ....

Hello Jeroen! When you start FSGRW you have to select, if you wish static or dynamic weather or load a saved weatherfile (which also will be static of course). After this selection you may choose current or historic weather. If you choose dynamic and then select a historic weather file, FSGRW will refresh using the following historic weather files. So you can make your historic flight with the full range of historic weather changes. I hope this clarifies. Cheers! Stefan Schaefer PILOT'S GesmbH C.E.O.

Rob, This looks like a very low visibility layer. Do you know where exactly and using which weather file it was found? I will then look into it. Cheers! Stefan Schaefer PILOT'S GesmbH C.E.O

Hello! When does this error happen? What are your exact steps, which seem to reproduce the problem? You have to have a correct and working PMDG 777 flightplan. That one needs to be loaded into FSGRW flightplanner. After that you can generate and save a windfile, which can be loaded into PMDG FMC. If the error persists, please email the flightplan and an exact description how the flightplan was generated to [email protected] And BTW, did you realize we have a dedicated support forum at http://fsgrw.freeforums.org Cheers!
