Problem using Active Sky for informational purposes

[p47thunderbolt]

Dear members, hello to everyone.
I'm having an interesting problem and I couldn't find a solution. I have Active Sky for P3Dv4. However, I no longer use P3D and have been uses on MSFS for a while.
I want to use the Active Sky Program for Simbrief and informational purposes only. I would like to tell you step by step about an important problem that I cannot solve...
- I am running the Active Sky program. (P3D is off and working smoothly)
- I'm running P3D (Connect and works smoothly)
- I exit P3D (Disconnect occurs and it works without any problems)
- Then I run MSFS. (The problem starts at this stage)
- ActiveSky detects MSFS and connects ( P3D is disabled )
- When MSFS is active.. I run ActiveSky (P3D connects! and the program gives a warning and closes).

Why does Active Sky detect MSFS??? How can I solve this problem?

Note: P3D and ASP3Dv4 are installed on (E) disk..

This problem destroyed my joy of life
Thanks for the help. Cenk.

Hello,

ASP4 is specifically for P3D and Active Sky Products are not compatible with MSFS so we cannot provide support for this.

p47 : Why AS detects MSFS ? IMHO, because MSFS uses similar interface and AS is confused and quit to the desktop with error message. But I do not understand, why do You use AS as information source. Check for example windy.com, this site has very nice visualization of many weather properties including wind aloft etc. etc.

Have you tried just running Active Sky without P3D? I can run Active Sky for X-Plane 12 without the sim running and it does not show any errors and I can use it for informational purposes. MSFS uses the simconnect module so there may be an issue there even though it does not have any coding to connect with Active Sky.

AS, all versions, are tied into the simulator installation in several ways including use of scenery, runways and internal airport database(s). It requires a simulator installation as documented. You don't have to actively use the simulator, but it needs to be installed.
