Issue with VATSIM

[frankbyte]

Hi to all

 

I have a problem using both SkyMaxx Pro and Vatsim: The weather doesn't fit the reality!

 

For example, if there is a very bad weather with low visibility at an airport, the visibility is pretty good, even X-Plane had set the correct values inside the weather-settings (in that case a low visibility). As soon as i deactivate the SkyMaxx-plugin, the weather becomes as it should: bad visibility. In fact i always have a good visibility using Sky MAxx Pro.

 

I am using the NOAA-weather plugin as well for having the upper winds simulated but it doenst't seem to have an impact on this issue.

 

Is this a bug or is there a way to improve this?

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks and cheers

François

OK :(

 

I searched in the forum and found this thread about the same problem i have:

At the end you said "We are still working out the best way to handle this. So far it's proving to not be an easy task." So am i right, that you were talking about the same thing and that for the moment this can't be fixed? Just to be sure we are talking about the same.

 

Thanks!

Yes, that's correct!

 

There are more recent topics on this that go a bit more in depth however. Laminar's assistance and changes to the sim itself are required.

OK, thanks for your answer.

Regarding FrankByte's initial message and your replies Cameron, shouldn't you have a disclaimer that states that Skymaxx Pro doesn't work with Vatsim via XSB and X-plane?  Like Frankbyte, flying around the midwest yesterday smack in the middle of it all and nothing but clear blue skies and a few puffs.

XSB + SMP weather works for me...
