Detlef Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: "Active Sky for real weather" 12-21-02, 17:31z  Hi all, I wonder if somebody can give me some advice as to the use of ActiveSky 2002 from Damian Clark which I installed for use with FS2002 today. It works great if I start FS2002 first, then connect to the web using my modem connection and then start ActiveSky. However, I do not want to stay on line throughout complete flights. I understand from the readme file provided that I can force an airport ICAO ID to be my destination airport. I guess if I fly into the destination area then, even when offline the weather is adjusted correctly (not sure about that yet). I have to try some more. What I miss is a feature where I can pre-program some locations on my route and have ActiveSky get all those weather stations upfront in one online pass. Or get a complete METAR text file from the web and then have ActiveSky use those data. Is there a way to accomplish anything like that with ActiveSky? (I had RealWeather back with FS98 but did not want to go through the complex install process with RealWeather for FS2002, and pay for WinBatch..). Other than that, I wish a good holiday season and Merry Christmas to everyone! Regards, Detlef Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
