FSUIPC settings (do I need to change them?)

[rustam]

Hi there,

I've been using FSUIPC4 for years but I always had a difficulty in setting it right. I also use AS2012 as my external wx program. This time (after re-installing FSX) I decided NOT to touch any settings except those for controlling devices (Saitek X52 Pro in my case) since from what I can read in the FSUIPC manual, the weather and visibility options are optional unless controlled by external weather program. Well, you can send me back to ActiveSky forums to get the answer but logically thinking - do I really need to apply say wind or pressure smoothing settings through FSUIPC if they in fact need to be controlled by AS2012 (or any other external WX application). Or, am I missing smth here?!?

So, if this is the case can I leave FSUIPC4 default settings as-is and let AS2012 control all weather related operations? Any recommendation or advise is highly appreciated.

Thank you!

I have the settings turned on in both ActiveSky2012 and FSUIPC4 - useful in case I am not using AS2012 for any reason. I've noticed no issues in doing so.
