Deputy Sheriffs Tom A320 4915 Posted December 7, 2018 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted December 7, 2018 Can't confirm: Please login to display this image. Are you sure that you have configured the Active Sky folder correctly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The world map has the feathers, the METAR is reading, but "No weather data available" on the charts tab when you go to release the flight... Works "Online" though as OP says.

Deputy Sheriffs Tom A320 4915 Posted December 7, 2018 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted December 7, 2018 I think to problem is, that the Active Sky weather file is exactly what it's name says: a snapshot. It doesn't contain any forecast information. For example: my current Active Sky weather contains METAR information for 072100Z my scheduled departure is 072235Z, my scheduled arrival is 080105Z And PFPX actually tells me that it doesn't have the needed data for that time: Please login to display this image.

donkey20048 8 Posted December 7, 2018 Author Share Posted December 7, 2018 Yeah except I used Active sky to plan another flight and I got all the wind data and charts etc perfectly so not sure what going on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wasn't sure if it was a genuine bug or not, so thought it was worth flagging. ActiveSky works as is did in the previous versions in all other respects. Thanks for thr clarification.

As you have seen in my case a 1.5h difference is already rejected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HammerTime_MC 6 Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Can confirm the vertical profile winds appears to be fixed in v2.01… Still missing wind information at the various flight levels though Please login to display this image.
