Here it is (use your own windows username of course): X:/Users//App Data/Roaming/HiFi/AS_XPL/Weather/current_wx_snapshot.txt The tricky bit was finding the Active Sky Weather folder. To do this, click in the ‘AI Aircraft’ at the top of the flight planner: Yes, you can now sit at 26L and hear ‘You are number 6 for takeoff’ and ‘Traffic alert, 3 o’clock, 270 - do you have them in sight?’. This allows Pilot2ATC to ‘see’ the aircraft, as they are X-Plane AI (minus slow drawing model) which means we get TCAS and routing. To fix that you can add ‘dummy AI’ aircraft, that World Traffic 3 draws but X-Plane uses a tiny one line icon for. One problem is that Pilot2ATC doesn’t know about the WT3 external traffic. So the goal is to get them all to play nicely. It doesn’t really do this that well so far, but it is certainly an upgrade over the default clouds and winds. I really only wanted it for the ability to do historical weather, but the feature that caught my eye was in being able to plan a route and have the weather transition better. More info here - World Traffic 3 for X-PlaneĪctive Sky XP | HiFi Simulation Technologies Active Sky XP was recently on sale, so I picked it up. World Traffic takes a lot of setting up (a post of its own) but once using the AFRE Real traffic data pack here things look alive. World Traffic I got fed up with empty skies and my system crawling to its knees with 3 AI flights. I use it in VR via a button here - X-Plane VR Push to Talk and a general overview here - Pilot2ATC. The speech recognition (all Windows stuff underneath) is great. It’s good because it is nice at both ‘do some patterns at the local field’ GA plus the full IFR SID/J way transitions/STAR of the heavies. I really enjoy jumping to IFR Route Analyzer - FlightAware entering a common route and then setting it up in Pilot2ATC. It provides the missing GA and IFR ATC communications so sorely missing in X-Plane. Despite the crimes against humanity of the home page web design, behind that facade there is a really nice ATC and speech input/output tool. My latest pain has been getting the following to all talk to each other: My sub-conscious plan seems to be to keep adding stuff until the PC starts burning like blow-torch thrown at a magnesium depot.

I think I have a masochistic streak when it comes to X-Plane and trying to break it.
