TAT HIGH

[FSX1234 0]

Hi, the other day i was climbing passing FL200. When the a/c stopped climbing and it became very slow. The TAT was showing about +20 and the a/c was only about half full.Any ideas would be much appreciated.Kind Regards ChrisOrder ID: 244886.Also i have the unreigstered version of FSUIPC. and was wondering do i need this any more with 2012 ASE. I used it before for wind smoothing but do not use it for anything else.

TAT is not OAT so be careful with this...

Salut Epikk,I've got some troubles with temperature.I've sent a ticket and installed the lates beta version.I've got the issue again always at the same place (North Honolulu)Another ticket has been sent.CheersPierre

I see this problem regulary flying south out of Cairns, Austrialia. TAT stops dropping then starts to climb and then stops again for about 15 minutes until a certain point then it plumets to a minus figure which is what you would expect at such high altittudes. Of course the 737 struggles to climb when this occurs.

Hmm interesting, can you guys give more details like what type of aircraft, what other addons you have (aka fsinn etc. )

I had a similar problem across a couple legs from Melbourne to Kaula Lumpur to Frankfurt all were flown in the mid 30's as far as flight levels are concerned. All were on the PMDG MD-11 while connected to VATSIM via FSINN. I'm well aware of the FSINN wx problem and have it's weather disabled. It's been working flawlessly for at least 6 months while using ASE. I had to switch to FSX "Clear Skies" weather, close AS2012, and then re-run AS2012 in order to get it to go away each time it started happening. It seemed to be an issue of the AS2012 weather engine lossing it's connection to FSX. I have AS2012 on the same computer as FSX, and it is set to DWC mode. The occurances I had happened last week, and haven't been happening over the past few days doing short hops in the US (top altitudes were similar to the long hauls: FL340ish)

I thought it might be a simconnect issue. I will forward this info to Damian

Salut Pierre!Let's then hope/wait for them to correct this... They certainly will I guess.

Hello Epikk,Damian and the team are really nice. The support is perfect, not as others I knew.......For now, It seems issue origin could be FSUIPC or SIMCONNECT.We investigate.....CheersPierre

Maybe a similar or related issue that I experience before the most recent fix (which I have yet to add). Though I have serious issues about lack of cloud cover using AS2012, until now I have been pleased with overall performance of AS2012 correctly depicting winds/temps aloft. At least I thought so but I have noticed unrealistic climb performance issues with both ConcordeX and NGX. Winds seemed to be correctly depicting (with relatively correct interpolations on climbs/descents) but when I examined the OAT (SAT) I noticed that they were not interpolating between the metar levels. The temps seem to stick at the wind/temp levels until plane has climbed 200 ft above and then the temps rapidly fall to the correct temp (according to the REPORT page in AS2012). But then they stay the same again up 200 feet above the next level. (By level, I mean the discreet altitudes at which the wind/temp aloft info is provided in AS2012 metars). This causes unrealitic performance issues which complex simulations such as NGX or ConcordeX that correctly model engine performance on OAT. I went back to ASE and under DWC mode found the same issue but to lessor extent. ASE Standard mode, however, correctly implements the temperature at all altitudes with correct interpolation between reporting levels. I am about to confirm the same with AS2012. Seems that if Hifi is able to do it correctly in Standard they should be able to also do it correctly in DWC.

Sorry to ask?Any news about this Craig?I'm having the same problem with temps, and sometimes they differ from the ones on the report.

I also see this, pretty much always. Temperature inversion is pretty rare in reality, but I always get it with ActiveSky. Temperature goes way up as I climb. The freezing level in Active Sky is always way above what I see in real-world weather forcasts like on aviationweather.gov. It's just weird to fly around in far north U.S.A. in the middle of winter, where ground temps are at 0 Celsius and Active Sky is showing +15C at 20,000 feet.

Matias and Gabe! Wish I had better news but things seem to be silent from Hifi about our recent AS2012 issues. I have had to just grit my teeth and use STANDARD mode which correctly addresses temp/altitude issue. I have reduced my update range to 200 and my exclusion range to 175 thus only allowing that narrow 25nm ring of stations to update. This has cut the stuttering time down to just about 30+ secs which certainly helps. Problem I have is that it keeps updating on the ground and if I am not careful and time it just right it can start an update just as I am taking off OR just as I am touching down in extreme weather conditons!!! At first, Damian was monitoring this forum and would usually chime in within a day or so but no longer apparently.

How have you done this as I only have a Local Suppression Range slider?ThanksSteve

Go into AS2012 folder, and open the FXOptions file. You will find both parameters there.
