Thanks John, I appreciate the insight. I'll give the trial-and-testing a go and see what comes about.

Of course I have, I've referenced AS16 all throughout my post. My aircraft speed drops to 0KTS when ActiveSky 2016 is being used for real world weather at cruise altitude. Apologies if my post was unclear, but yes my whole issue pertains to AS16!

Went through a similar experience 2 months ago and after waiting around for a week, I came to the conclusion that FSXWX has unfortunately said goodbye to us flight simmers. Even their website won't load properly now. It's a massive shame! On the other hand however it forced me to finally give in and purchase ActiveSky 2016 during their winter sale and I can definitely say it's worth the money. If you have the finances, please purchase AS!

I'm really hoping a fellow flight simmer would be able to shed light on what's going on. When ascending to cruise altitude/flying at cruise altitude, if I attempt to momentarily change simulator windows (as in, pressing ALT+ENT to minimize FSX or enter the map view mode by selecting World > Map), on entering back into the sim my aircraft drops out of the sky because my airspeed plunges to 0 KTS. I thought maybe Ultimate Ground X or AISmooth addon(s) were causing issues, so I disabled both of them and only ran AS16. Issue still continued. I thought maybe increasing the simulation speed to 4x is causing issues, so I flew in normal simulation speed to cruise altitude. Issue still continued. Event though I always go through pre-flight checklists before take off, I double checked that my pitot heat/anti-ice systems were on, and sure enough they were. I confirmed this on various aircraft, including the default A321/B737/B747 and even my payware PMDG 777 and 747. Issue continued! I am now quite simply stumped as to what is causing my aircraft to suddenly just stall out of the sky and drop the airspeed to 0KTS out of nowhere. My aircraft just falls out of the sky and crashes! Could anyone please help me figure out what is going on. 😞

Hi, apologies for the late reply. Please try to view the images again in this link: https://ibb.co/pnJnYzb https://ibb.co/ZNC2j7x and https://ibb.co/pnJnYzb https://ibb.co/ZNC2j7x The first image is showing the towbar missing, the second image is showing the airport top-down view while trying to edit the pushback route and the lack of green arrows that would show the pushback route. Yes some of my other default and payware aircraft don't have this issue -- I can see the towbar on the Schopf vehicle. But a majority of my aircraft don't when using any of the pushback vehicles. I can see the ground personnel just fine however.

Apologies for the late reply. Yes I've triple checked the manual, tried to uninstall and install the programme on my FSX again and still no luck. I've found out that the issue is with other aircraft as well! Attached below is an example on a Thomas Ruth A330 add-on... Screenshot01 Please let me know what's going on?

UPDATE -- For anyone who might face similar issues, deleting the add-on and then copying the entire add on back into the /SimObjects folder did the trick. Not sure what caused the strange issue, but a simple "delete/add" again did the trick.

Thank you for the reply. Could you please disclose a bit more about which specific section I should be looking at in the aircraft.cfg? How much more would you recommend raising them to?

I recently installed UGCX V2.6 and on trying to pushback with a specific freeware aircraft (a OpenSky B747-8i) at a default airport (Boeing Field) with no add-on scenery, the towbar is not visible at all. I can see the marshallers however. Also, on trying to create a custom pushback route, I can't see the 'green arrows' that would otherwise appear from the top-down view when in editing mode to show the custom pushback path and where the aircraft would stop -- I do not have EZDOK or any other recording software downloaded. What can I do to fix these issues?

I suddenly have a bizarre issue where my Project Airbus A320 is "jumping" and jolting around on the ground parked at a gate -- engines off, weight and balance completely okay. It jumps around on the spot and eventually slides off of its position and completely off the taxiway centerline. When I switch to another Project Airbus A318 aircraft, that doesn't jolt around at all, yet 2 other PA A320 models suddenly have this strange issue. There has been no change to the aircraft.CFG of any kind. I recently installed ActiveSky 2016 -- I thought maybe some erroneous setting there is over exaggerating surface wind conditions, but when I start FSX without using AS, the problem still persists. I've also disconnected my Logitech joystick, and yet the issue still persists. So that's 2 potential problems that have been ruled out. Can anyone please help me understand how to fix this?
