FSX-MS FSrealWX lite - it keeps it's promises

[ryanbatc 12,846]

Alright I got the latest build - it fixed this vis issue but now I've got this rogue layer that cuts through all the other clouds. I'm not sure what it is any ideas?http://youtu.be/t3Me8-it7_Y

And sometimes there are very rapid wind changes, esspecially anoying when on final approach (Open Clouds had an feature to prevent any weather changing when below a certain height, 3000ft or something else). But besides of that it´s perfect.

FSrealWx has that option to:In Options/General select 'No weather update in approach'

Hey guys, I hope you can help me out with this: I´ve just downloaded the newest version of FSrealWX lite from their website. But when installed it shows me version 1.01.1291. Shouldn´t it be build 1243?

Thanks, I found it. :(

I use FSrealWX with Flight Envoronment X and i had this effect with one of the cloud sets.With most other sets it's fine.

What version are you using? 1243 is the latest stable version, I believe. The 1300's versions are in development. 1243 runs stable and I can change the visibility option fine. When I tried the 1316 or whatever it is I would get a lot of crashes as well. Found out these were development versions the hard way. The stable versions have RC next to the version number and the others have DEV.

I found out it's very important to always have the latest version of FSUIPC and to have UAC off if installing in Windows 7 or Vista.I now use 1.03.1340 DEV and have no problems with it.

Never seen it before but it looks to me like a different layer of visibility. In mine the visibility is layered to smooth it out as altitude increases. Did you install with UAC off? Run it with UAC off as well and see if you get different results. The program will seem like its running OK with it on but apparently it runs better with it off.

[ryanbatc 12,846]

UAC is off - it's the very first thing I do when I install an OS.Where do you set the visibility smoothing? I don't have a registered FSUIPC version if that matters.edit: I'm also using FEX clouds.

It should be doing this automatically. I don't know why you are getting the abrupt change you are seeing. The free FSUIPC is fine. My only suggestion is to post your vid to the hanse coders forum and see what he says about it. I actually am getting something now that I have asked him about and in about a day I got an answer back saying he would check and fix the issue. I can have a "severe clear" day in RL and the METAR will say sky condition CLR, but the wx station in the sim will give me a few at 6000 cloud layer every time. I am not getting any clear skies in the sim, a little annoying but he said he would fix it.

That's essentially what I'm getting. I think it's a FEW clouds at 060 but it sorta shows up as another vis layer.

I somehow always hated multipurpose software-for various reasons. So if you are looking for a weather importing software that won't chew up into your resources and will perform the task it was written for, then you may consider this little programme http://www.hanse-cod...?page=self&id=1 I'm using it for a couple of months now and all I can say is am extremely happy with it. It does exactlly what it promises and does it 100%. My PC doesn't even know it's running and my FS X weather is rock-solid interpretation of METAR's that were downloaded and inserted into the sim. Oh, not to forget - it's free!

That's fabulous as I am one who actually really likes REX2's weather, however I continue to get the inbound outbound firewall alert problem which is to be fixed for their new release. At least I can now have decent weather w/o REX2.Thanks for posting on this!Noel

Well maybe we are seeing the same issue then. Mine seems to show up as a cloud layer.

[simmerhead 885]

Thst´s allready checked. But I had only one issue like that. Approching with the NGX in Reno and 30 kts crossind till about 1000ft above AGL. Then the wind chnaged to 5 kts in less then a second.

Welcome to the real world. I regularly fly at airports on the coast of Norway where the wind can change radically at different altitudes. Some approaches are done with a strong tailwind, then it will suddenly change to a strong headwind when on final approach and below 1000 ft...

Can anybody help me get this program up and running? I've heard something about having to use simconnect and fsrealwx lite in order to load the weather into FSX, but I have no idea how to do this and the support board at the website is no help..

[JSkorna 137]

Simconnect is automatically installed when you install FSX. You don't need to do a single thing.

Ah, I see, well when I try to load the wx into FSX, the option in the menu is grayed out, not letting me install it into it.. what do you think the problem is?
