timmo32 Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 (edited) Gday gents just a long shot here and i know this isnt a weather Forum and you can delete this topic as i would understand tho i guess many of you are active sky users?? and i have lodge a couple of support tickets at active sky,and ive only had two replys asking for more info on the case which is fine and ive provided this but then keep getting the msg a day or two later from them saying if this is resolved the ticket will be closed? this is without solving the issue? Now my issue is that i have upgraded too the Beta version of active sky p3dv5.2 and followed all the promps,tho when i fire up the sim then active sky,in the active sky weather engine promp it is indicating that it is waiting for the sim?now in the options panel in the sim i have active sky ticked,and has FSUIPC6 and all the other stuff it needs i have my p3d sim on my g drive,im sure a file or something has not been directed into the path of active sky,its a strange one,as i still use p3v4 with active sky and its fine,if anyone is able too help this would be fine,as it has been nearly 2 weeks waiting for support from active sky and have followed all the procedures too log a ticket there but for some reason my tickets are not getting too them ?thanks gents.

Aussie123 Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 I have been on P3D v4.5HF3, Active Sky for P3d V4, and REX Environment Force for a long time. They have been working well together. Anyhow, decided last week to buy P3d V5.2 full install, along with an upgrade of Active Sky 3D (to 5.2 beta?). Both installed OK. Active Sky starts and connects OK to P3D for me. However, the clouds look horrible to me after having REX Skyforce and REX Environment Force that I am used to on V4.5. I did go from FSUIPC5 to FSUIPC6 for another reason (ProSim 737 needs it) Active Sky does throw up an error box saying the '3D Connect' is the wrong version but I think that is for Radar screens that I don't use. After that it is fine. I must say Orbx ground scenery on V5.2 looks terrific. Great increase in frame rates as well. Just need to get the sky looking as good. I'm not sure if anyone has REX Skyforce working with P3d V5.2 yet. They say that they have a Technical Upgrade v2.6 in the pipeline? Sorry I can't help.

Aussie Thanks for your reply Aussie,yes the sim looks great i must agree there could be a bug in the connections,as it is in Beta i guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Hello, it does work. The previous version displays the "waiting for the simulator" message, so perhaps you could run through the update again and see if it works at the second attempt.

wain71 Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 I am not seeing this issue, I updated the other day to ASPD version 7840, it then installed a connect update into the sim, I get the 'waiting for sim' then all connects and works fine...I just updated over the top and changed no settings......

Aussie123 Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Just checking Timmo, In Active Sky' options, you have turned off the Version 4.5 slider and turned on the slider Version 5? Also, have you double checked that you have browsed the correct folder for P3d Version 5 .exe's location? Aussie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie123 Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 Oops Timmo, I was getting confused with the selection sliders in Sky Force. What I meant was, have you checked both of the P3d addresses in Options are pointing to V5.2 and not 4.5? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
