Hi,

I am currently flying from KMIA (Miami) to KMEM (Memphis) and I am running Active Sky for P3D v4. When I request an ACARS ATIS using the KEY #2 for destination, I get a different weather report then I can see in Active Sky. For example from PF3 the wind is 91 at 5 kts and active sky shows me a win at 110 at 6 KTS.

Why is that, did I miss a setting?

Possibility it could be a lag between Activesky weather and PFE receiving the info,other than that I have no idea.

I am on a flight now from KDEN to KABQ. PF3 atis reports wind at 360/5 AS16 090/27 Actual wind from weather channel is 100/ 25. Why is PF3 atis so far off? Is there a setting in PF# that could be incorrect?

I'd need to see your log file to even hazard a guess

After I posted this I checked my AS 16 settings and it looks like I had it set to update every 20 minutes. I suspect that is what caused the problem.
