LPPT 011400Z 23020G30KT 9999 FEW008 BKN012 16/15 Q1017

Hi,

I use ASN SP4 B5833 with P3D 2.5 under Win 7-64. I just departed from LPPT. All weather sources showed wind from 230. Also in the METAR string in ASN this was shown. But wind was interpreted and depicted as 320@16.

Could you please check?

I apologize ahead of time for this long error log but I am stumped. Initially when I started ASN SP3 I got errors about the exe.xml file so I fixed that by deleting it and now I get this:

I do use PFPX and load my weather by flights exported to FSX. My firewall is off and so is Anti virus. I have given ASN "run as adminstrator" rights as well. Can someone please help me?

I purchased ASN SP3 for FSX and tried it out. The main screen stated weather mode was active and it was waiting for FSX. I launched FSX and checked the dropdown addon-menu to get the ASN weather report but there was no entry! Even CTRL+11 would not work! I know ASN was running because the task manager said so. I must be doing something wrong. Could someone please help me?

Thanks!

ASE Using Offline Mean Valid Time

January 5, 2016, 8:50 am

≫ Next: ASN SP4 has been officially released!

≪ Previous: Problem getting started with ASN (newbie)

I have been Active Sky Evolution user for many years now, first with only FS2004 and now with both FS2004 and FSX. I decided not to use ASN because it did not support FS2004. When I use ASE with FS2004 it always loads the current weather for the location of my aircraft in the sim. It updates that weather in real time as I move through the virtual sky.

However, when I use ASE with FSX it always loads weather "Using Offline Mean Valid Time". Today, 1/5/2016, it loaded weather for 1/3/2016 as of 0300 GMT. Saturday 1/2/2016 I flew in a VATSIM event to "Bring Santa Home" with the ZAN ARTCC and the oflline mean time it loaded was for 1/29/2016. How it could pick a date in the future is beyond me.

I am confused why it always loads current weather with FS2004, but always uses Offline Mean Valid Time that is never current with FSX? I have tried changing the setting to both Automatic Downloads and to VATSIM Online Weather. Neither setting makes a difference and the weather remains at whatever Mean Valid Time ASE used upon startup, even if I fly 3,000 nm and 6 hours away.

If AVSIM Forums would let me paste a quote I would copy and paste the startup dialogue from the ASE Dashboard Home Page, but since it won't, if you think that info would help I will write it down and manually type it in here in a second post.

Any Ideas?

ASN SP4 has been officially released!

January 8, 2016, 3:41 pm

≫ Next: Networking questions

≪ Previous: ASE Using Offline Mean Valid Time

ASN SP4 has been officially released! This new update is available free to all Active Sky Next users, for both FSX and Prepar3D.

Highlights include numerous fixes and adjustments, improved icing depiction, and new Prepar3D v3.x compatibility! SP4 is recommended for all ASN users and can be downloaded from our downloads page at http://www.hifisimtech.com/downloads.

*Please note that this service pack does not apply to Active Sky Next: Steam Edition DLC purchased through Steam (Steam updates are managed independently through Steam).

SP4 Revision Log:

ASN for FSX Service Pack 4:

ASN for P3D Service Pack 4:

– Fixed issue with date handling when loading saved weather file
– Fixed issue related to BR, FG plus RA or SN in a METAR resulting in no precipitation
– Icing depiction adjustments for more consistent and expected results both in and below clouds (i.e. freezing rain)
– Fixed an issue regarding surface temperature interpolation
– Additional RVR/Runway Conditions handling adjustment
– Fixed issue regarding 9999+ meters decoding when vis close to threshold (5.6SM)
– Adjusted documentation regarding ambients error and SimConnect and networked configurations
– Fixed issue with METAR visibility parsing related to RVR and “Runway Conditions” elements being mis-identified, resulting in improper visibility
– Disabled Visual Fix: Cloud Pop Fix feature from P3D version as it is no longer supported or needed in P3D v3, and could potentially cause issues with P3Dv2.5
– Adjusted invalid simconnect version message warning from ASConnect to specify that the simconnect.msi file is located in REDIST or SDK folders (it depends on which Simulator type/version)
– Adjusted “Ambients error” message to be more accurate, descriptive and refer to a special URL (www.hifisimtech.com/ambients-error) which goes directly to our knowledgebase article
– Adjusted ASConnect default install path search order to P3D v3 vs V2
– Miscellenous installer fixes and adjustments related to P3Dv3
– Added detection of new P3Dv3 install + P3Dv2 paths set in ASN = Notification message that paths should be checked/set to the intended P3D version
– Added new v3 variant of xgauge.dll for new path/registry locations
– Added new ASN client handling to support installation of proper xgauge.dll variant
NOTE: P3Dv3 users should uninstall/reinstall XGauge via the XGauge Installation Wizard (TOOLS menu) to ensure that gauge files are properly updated
– Added compatibility with P3D 3.1.2.15841

* Important Notes:
* You will need to set your paths appropriately in ASN for P3D (simulator installation and simulator appdata path) and restart ASN.
* It is recommended to run P3Dv3 “As administrator” or you may experience logging/ambient errors.
* P3D v3 base install no longer includes legacy simconnect interface. You will need to install the simconnect client from here: [P3Dv3 folder]\redist\Interface\FSX-SP2-XPACK\retail\lib\SimConnect.msi
* ASNext utilizes traditional FSX/P3Dv1/P3Dv2 add-on configuration and file/folder locations – P3Dv3 recommends that add-ons use a brand new system with add-on content and files located outside of the P3Dv3 installation location in order to avoid potential issues during updates.
* Until such time that Active Sky is redesigned for specific P3Dv3 recommended locations, we recommend uninstalling ASN before applying P3Dv3 updates, in order to avoid any potential update issues.

</SimConnect.Comm>

</SimBase.Document>

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

From the HiFi manual networking page, I have these instructions...

The values for

Protocol

Address

and

Port

must be modified.

The other values should be

left default.

For

Protocol

IPv4

should be used.

Example: <Protocol>IPv4</Protocol>

For

Address

use either the computer name or the physical IP address of this

SERVER

Example: <Address>192.168.1.102</Addres

For

Port

use any port you wish to enable for SimConnect communications.

We suggest port 500.

This port will need to be enabled in any software firewall programs you are running

(including windows firewall).

Example: <Port>500</Port>

Note

: If you are

using FSUIPC

v4 with FSX/P3D

, you may need to perform the follo

wing

steps for proper

networked operation:

First set the SimConnect.xml as described above.

Next set the <Scope> variable to global instead of local (<Scope>global</Scope>).

Run FSUIPC install (again if already installed).

Your SimConnect.xml will then be

properly configured.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Which example(s) do I use and what does the final syntax of the simconnect.xml look like?

Thanks,

Mark

Trying to install the latest Update but each time I try to run it, I get a message ' A Valid ASN Version Must Be Installed To Run This Update'. Eh?

I have a valid ASN version which has just accepted the Key after I used that KeyReset Tool thinking maybe that was the problem..

Anyone else encountering this problem trying to run this Update?

≪ Previous: Trying to Install Update

After mega tries and forum help, I already have a successful SimConnect setup : am running my vPilot on a client---I guess this means SCnnct is talking across the network from server to client.

After reading the Networking section in the ASN manual:

* Do I need another license to install ASN on my client (XP) ?

* Is the client SimConnect located inside the ASN program, then, on my client?

Thanks for your help.

Can someone confirm if I right. That SP4 is only updated for P3D V2.5 and V3.? And not for P3D V2.4?

≫ Next: ASN Weather Radar: Client install ?

≪ Previous: ASN Service Pack 4 and P3D V2,4

Hello all! I am new to posting on this forum. I have looked for about an hour before deciding to ask.

I restored my laptop to factory settings and was reinstalling all of my items. FSX box, PMDG 747-400, 777-232LR,-300ER. ASN then updated to 4, PFPX(which uses ASN for its weather for route planning). I open ASN first, then PFPX to plan, close PFPX and open FSX. So, after choosing my 777, load my flight plan, which changes my location, I make sure my time is correct, then click on my final box (3) Weather. Under themes it had always given me the option to allow me to choose AS to create along with the other default theme settings. Did I miss something in the ASN settings perhaps? It shows the the SIM is connected when I launch FSX, it is on live mode. I feel like such a noob, because it is probably something like "ASN does it automatically now." I just enjoy flying in as real as the actual weather is. Will it load automatically once I start the flight? Continually change and inject current weather like before etc? I thank you in advance for your help! Josh

Running SP4 on Client PC. Does Weather radar activate from Client, or just the Server? Don't want to install Gauge from Client unless I understand----I have it running on Server, but it's 'down' when the ASN is running on client.

Am working through some ctd issues on P3D v3

I run ASN networked

Under my p3d process tree is something called as_audio.exe. Under that tree is a greedy little thing called conhost.exe that is using 2.3 gb.

What is this and is there anything I can do to reduce the system overhead?

ASN on Multiple PC System

January 30, 2016, 5:09 am

≫ Next: ACTIVE SKY NEXT SERVICE PACK 4.1 NOW AVAILABLE!

≪ Previous: P3D AI View?

I am interested in ASN for my multiple-PC system running P3D v2.5. One PC is the "server" and the other two are "clients" dedicated to displaying external views. The system is networked together by Opus FSI, with FSIserver.exe running on the server system and FSIclient.exe running on the client systems. I currently get my "weather" from OpusFSI running on the server system.

My question is, is this type of system compatible with running ASN? If running ASN on the "server", would the weather be "echoed" to the client systems for external views? Would the client systems need to run ASN as well?

Apologies in advance if these questions are not well-phrased.

Appreciate any guidance.
