ASE and rwy problem

[tompie]

Hi Pete, I am using FSUIPC 3.9 together with ASE SP5 in FS 9.1. This has always proved to be a very compatible pair of software. However since the 3.999z versions I experience this problem some people reported using AS 2012 in FSX:

at my arrival airport I get the opposite rwy heading by ATC as should be, according to actual wind reports in ASE. For example approaching KDFW with winds gusting up to 18 k from 193 degrees in ASE(real weather downloaded) ATC sends me to the 35 or 36 rwy's instead of the 17 and 18 rwy's as it used to do before.

Of course I installed v 3.999z8, but no improvement. I unistalled and reinstalled both ASE and FSUIPC. No improvement.

I followed exactly the installation instructions of ASE in relation to the (registered) FSUIPC version. It looks like a certain incompatibility between the two programs. At the same time it is a consistent error.

Any suggestions what to do?

Thanks in advance,

Tom

There has not been any changes in FSUIPC weather setting for FS9 for years, and certainly it is not in control of runway selection.  In fact nothing can control FS's own inbuilt runway selection. If ASE is setting the winds and they are setting correctly, that's as much as anything or anyone can do. The rest is entirely up to FS's internals.

 

If I were you I'd look at getting a better ATC program, like Radar Contact perhaps.
