Flying VATSIM and weather addon

[Rodolfo Pockorny]

Hello, I don´t know if this is the correct forum to make this question.
When I fly P3D v4.5 on VATSIM network use Active Sky with the option VATSIM enabled. But the weather shows differences between .metar on vPilot and Active Sky.
Because what I have read in other forums I understand that this is the correct way. But I wish to know if there are indications about this item in VATSIM that I didn´t find.

Thanks in advance for your comments.
Rodolfo

Hello Rodolfo,

the METAR information that VATSIM collects and distributes is sometimes lagging behind by one cycle (=20 minutes). If you use Active Sky's VATSIM-option, your weather will be synchronized with what ATC assumes as current weather. If not, then you might have slightly different weather. Normally, this is not a big headache.

Thanks a lot Andreas, for your answer. 
Then, because of your answer, I understand that it is correct to use Active Sky with that option active meanwhile fly in VATSIM 
Best regards, Rodolfo
