Help active radar not showing any precipitation why isn't it working???

[flightsimmer747]

I did place my aircraft at an airport where it was raining and i got nothing on the situation radar. Any help greatly appreciated?

I would suggest that you take this question to the ActiveSky forums here:

Phil is right, but I do check these forums a few times a day also. Now, at any airport does the data for that airport show up OK? Let me know. I'll check back in a few. Or you can e-mail me and we'll go from there.

Hope this helps,

yes weather data seems fine however sometimes i'll get 360 hdg at 0 kts for the wind. I personally think that isn,t accurate anyhow its really my radar that i'm having problems with. Thanks for any help and sorry for writing in this forum.

Got to ask: Running AS2004 at the same time right?
Make sure there is rain or snow in the METAR that is being shown in the AS2004 window.

yes it is.

OK, copy and paste a METAR from AS2004 the next time you don't see rain/snow on the radar.

That's a good METAR. AR showed rain all around on my display.
Did you ever have Weather Center installed?
Please tell me a little more about your system and what versions of software you are using here.
