Looking forward to many more years of FS9! Hi, Yeah, same here. Also, if I really want "today's" METAR for one or more airports in ASE, I can get it online and copy/paste the relevant data into the ASE WXConfigurator, unless there are gusts which ASE WXConfig ignores... Or I edit a WX file. Those are just GZip files that can be opened with 7-Zip and the file inside can be opened and edited with Notepad. Kinda looks like what's in current_wx_snapshot.txt but without line breaks... Regards, DDP. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish to do this at some point but not sure there will be a way to batch process them. And yes on the current weather METAR's you mention, ASE is still a highly functional weather program for anyone who owns it. Mark Daniels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When one loads a WX into ASE it creates a current_wx_snapshot.txt, that can be copied into the ASv6 folder. But I have both ASE and AS6.5 installed, and it seems ASE automatically updates the current_wx_snapshot.txt in both ASE and ASv6...

JSkorna Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 AS16 is still being sold and supported, so it's not "closed online". http://www.air-source.us/images/sigs/000219_195_jimskorna.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
