Michael Pike Posted March 28, 2020 at 03:21 PM Posted March 28, 2020 at 03:21 PM I have used the public alpha for a bit with complete success with FSX in both standalone and distributed modes. When I upgraded to the first public version of 0.9.4 I noticed the following symptom: Launch Swift Launcher - click GUI (same machine and same machine as FSX.) Click weather page. Click Activate. Swift displays the updated weather data and the message "Swift weather is on" 4 seconds later Swift closes completely with no error and the weather in FSX is not updated. It seems to fail when injecting the weather but I can't find any error message to explain it. Is this a known issue? I have updated to version 0.9.4.206 today which has the same fault. Seems to make no difference if I use a default aircraft (C172SP) or whether I connect to VATSIM or not. Meanwhile, I can continue to use 0.9.3 which works fine for me, including weather.

Andreas Fuchs Posted March 28, 2020 at 03:57 PM Posted March 28, 2020 at 03:57 PM Hi Mike, thanks for reporting this. Just to be sure: - you are using the 32 bit version of swift? - swift only provides enroute atmospheric conditions (temp/winds aloft), no METARs/airport weather conditions Cheers, Andreas Member of VATSIM GermanyMy real flying on InstagramMy Twitch streams of VATSIM flights and ATC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Pike Posted March 28, 2020 at 07:53 PM Author Posted March 28, 2020 at 07:53 PM Ah. OK I'd forgotten that. Yes 32bit version. The difference I noticed is that v0.9.3 gave me the correct barometric pressure in the sim according to the METAR. That was how I noticed the weather had not been set. For example, if I activate the weather before launching FSX (!), Swift says the weather is "on" and the button changes to Deactivate. If I then launch FSX, Swift stays open OK but I notice it hasn't set the pressure in the sim. So I click Deactivate and then Activate and 4 seconds later Swift closes.

Andreas Fuchs Posted March 28, 2020 at 10:15 PM Posted March 28, 2020 at 10:15 PM Never saw this behaviour before, but I have to admit that I have not tested swift's weather function extensively as I am using FSGRW and ActiveSkyXP.

Leslie Brownsword Posted April 11, 2020 at 05:04 AM Posted April 11, 2020 at 05:04 AM Real time weather not working with fs2004. CTD when activated. Real world weather has not worked in fs2004 for a few years . Apart from this swift seems to be working well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas Fuchs Posted April 11, 2020 at 05:04 AM Posted April 11, 2020 at 05:04 AM Yes, for FS2004 you best use another external weather tool.

Leslie Brownsword Posted May 10, 2020 at 04:48 PM Posted May 10, 2020 at 04:48 PM (edited) SINCE SWIFT UPDATED I CAN NOW USE REAL WORLD WEATHER with FS2004 in Vatsim. Well done swift team.

Michael Pike Posted May 12, 2020 at 11:39 PM Author Posted May 12, 2020 at 11:39 PM Thanks for the heads-up. Looks like it's fixed for me in FSX as well (0.9.4.369). Thanks guys. 1 Mike Pike VATSIM-UK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
