Active Sky Stuck?

[BriggZee]

Hey,

Looking for some help/advice. I just swapped from SFS 2020 to MSFS 2024. Cleaned out my folders for Active Sky and did a fresh install. Since, it isn't loading at all in the sim. I have the simulator weather set to 'custom', active sky is allowed via Windows Defender and I opened the TCP port for it.

I open Active Sky before the sim which used to work fine in 2020 version. Now, I just keep getting stuck on 'waiting for simulator' & 'populating weather stream' (screenshot below).

Any help would be greatly appreciated

There is a Server issue today. If I delete my "LastDowloaded" weather file from yesterday Active Sky looks empty like yours.

Same issue here. Active Sky won't start properly. seems stuck.
When I retry I get this message and the cycle repeats.

Currently unable to use ActiveSky, it's stuck in "Populating Weather Stream".

We are currently investigating this now.

Thank you for your patience.

We're aware of an issue with DataNet downloads and actively investigating. Please uncheck "Force DataNet downloads" in general options. After setting this, a couple AS restarts may be required.

found a workaround:

manually edit the MSFSOptions.cfg found in ...\AppData\Roaming\HiFi\AS_FS\Options
and set
ForceDataNetDownloads=0

For me, the ForceDataNetDownloads=0 does not works.

Thanks

I've done all of this and still not working

Seems like MSFS live weather may also be facing an issue

Yeah I’ve even tried uninstalling ASFS twice now. MSFS won’t load live weather either, so might be a mad server issue. Tried your workaround and still no hope.

This appeared to be a transient issue from NOAA data causing downstream processing errors. The problem is no longer apparent.

AS may have a corrupt data set loaded if you had this issue. If you get an error on startup, please attempt a restart, and if the issue persists please try and uninstall/reinstall cycle or you can shut down AS and manually remove all the items in your C:\users\username\HiFi\[product name]\Weather folder and a new weather set will be created. If you need assistance please open a support ticket. Thank you.
