Have you read the manual and the new game wizard text?
RW weather in AirHauler ONLY allows AH to download the latest metars/tafs for a given location. Nothing more. If the Jeppesen weather in FSX doesn't agree with the Metar/Taf in AH, there's nothing I can do about that. I get the Metar/taf from the NOAA, if it doesn't agree with Jeppesen, you'll need to take it up with one of them. Also note, that half the time FSX can't model the weather properly off a metar anyway - hence the need for Active Sky or another add-on weather product. |

fair enough, though I've spent 10-12 hours flying hops based mainly in Alaska... the altimiter weather from center or on my own consistantly remains steady at 29 92 ...... clear skys, calm winds aloft, and I've restarted three companys double checking that real weather/fuel pricing are selected at start up/ new co. generation. the AH product is exactly what I've been waiting for... Flight Sim Crack!!!!! you guys are doing a GREAT job, Thank You game wizard text?????

By new game wizard I mean the new game start pages.
Remember, AH doesn't set weather in FSX, so you'll need to do that via real weather within FSX (which is my experience is useless), or get a 3rd party weather program. I can heavily recommend ASX for awesome weather generation, or REX2 if you want visual updates and a weather engine (the visuals are excellent but the weather gen isn't as good as ASX - I run both, REX for visuals, ASX for weather). |

I'm flying a new AH company out of Seoul, which is where I hang my hat these days. Originally from Bryan/College Station, though. I don't fly this World Air Xpress anymore. It was too big and I've gotten way to busy. I have the files saved and a lot of money stashed so if I ever get the time, I'll be able to get back to this company.

Don't forget that you can manually set how the weather is in the options for the flight. You can go from sun, rain, snow, high winds, building storms, etc.
It is only a few mouse clicks away.
