I beg to differ!

IMHO snow should stay on the alps where it can be admired when necessary!

...and I live in Switzerland!

We don't even get enough snow here to make the middle finger! Damn!

Here in Wisconsin someone made this huge rabbit out of snow, ill see if i can upload a pic onto the forum when i get home later, I got it
when it started to melt, but it was hilarious. I love the snow, and weather, clouds, amazing, its great, snow in wisconsin rocks, I have
some pics of a huge snowfall last year with my explorer, couldn't see outside the explorer when we jumped in the truck.

Snowed for about 20 minutes here in Virginia, it sticked, but the a rain/sleet mix came through and totally melted all the snow within the hour, but
that was before Thanksgiving. Then on Thanksgiving, it should've done something cuz I was outside playing football with my friends, and it was about
19 degrees all day (I think I lost the feeling in my legs for a couple of days after that...)

[SWAFO]

I know the feeling. I remember growing up in Michigan! Great times!

I am also interested in Active sky, but i'm wondering about something.

It says that it requires: FS2004, A Century of Flight (installed) - (WideFS Compatible)

What does it mean by widefs compatible
Is it something i have to buy, or is it something that can just be downloaded and run for free?

Hope you don't mind me asking in here.

No, it doesn't require anything, only fsuipc but it is registered for fsuipc already so you don't need anything but ASV

[SWAFO]

I believe the "WideFS" module is included in the FSUIPC download... that shouldn't be a problem!

[JayKae]

Sorry Brad but WideFS is a seperate purchase from FSUIPC quite worth the money though if you have multiple computers running FS
things

On IVAO, I was handing out heavy weather awards the other day at Sioux Falls, SD. 1/2SM +SN and a 30kt x-wind component to boot.

Kinda fun watching the aircraft s-tailing down the ILS and most of them skidding into the parking area after landing. LOL!

[runibl]

Thanks

So that's how they set fs up with about 5 computers and 10 screens....

Today is the day i will buy pmdg 737ng and the addon, and maybe also active sky.

How will the performance be with active sky?

You don't need WideFS to use Active sky I don't have it, and I use Active Sky without problem

[SaVas]

and set ups like that make my spending on the sim seem insignificant.

[SWAFO]

I can manage just fine with one computer, and one monitor. I could've sworn WideFS was included with FSUIPC. I've never used it, but
have heard of it. My mistake.

Just ordered Active sky 5 Enhanced, downloading now. Wondering if I should download 512x512x32 texture sets,128x128x32 texure sets,
both or use the default

What would you advice and what are the fps hits.
