Opus weather engine only works if you actually start the program after you start FSX. It can't possibly effect the FSX weather if the program isn't running.
So it doesn't come with any modules ? That's good to know, but it's possible using it has changed something the FSX setting or your start-up flight ?
I joined this discussion because you made the statement that nobody else had reported this problem so I just wanted you to know that I was also having the same problem as the person who stated this thread.
Nobody else reported this problem when I replied it, now there are two of them, but the other poster said he *was* using Active Sky, but never posted back after he said he would try without it.
If you want to get defensive and just automatically blame 3rd party programs then so be it.
That's not the case, and you got it entirely wrong. I'll rephrase the question in a different way:
Let's EXCLUDE BOTH GSX AND OPUS, don't you find odd that, you said you had the temperature a -14°C, but the FSX internal variable that holds the ambient temperature doesn't agree with that ?
Are you sure you were looking at right temperature ? Which was the temperature indication you relied on to save it was -14°C ? The default FSX weather menu ? An instrument on your airplane ? Something else ?
That's not going to get us very far is it.
Exactly, especially since you still haven't replied to the question which I already asked twice, let's try the 3rd time:
"what happens if you go into the FSX weather, and set/check the temperature manually ?"
And the question I've asked once in my previous reply:
"Do you have multiple temperature layers ? GSX will only look the "ambient temperature", which is affected by the surface temperature layer"
I didn't see anywhere before I bought GSX where it says this only works with bare FSX and does not work with any 3rd party addons
First, we are not required anywhere to say it will work with ANYTHING other than the system requirements, which are just FSX + SP2, and that's it. The only 3rd party addons we officially advertise being compatible with, are the supported 3rd party airplanes.
To check if/how/how well it works with other 3rd party addons, WE HAVE A TRIAL VERSION. The whole point of having a Trial version, is to allow you to check how it works with your combination of 3rd party addons.
That's to clarify the point about how we should supposedly guarantee or even tell you that GSX will work with any foreseeable 3rd party addon, and why it's wrong to expect that, especially considering there's a Trial, and the existence of a Trial is clearly indicated everywhere on our site.
Do all your other 3rd party add-ons provide a Trial version, so you can check they work with GSX before you purchase them ?
Most serious simmers have spent a fortune on 3rd party addons just like YOURS and don't expect to be fobbed off with lame excuses when trying to get support.
You ARE getting support, but until now, you are failed to provide all the informations I've asked, to start troubleshooting your issue.
And, are you even SURE the problem has something to do with the temperature ? THAT'S another reason why I asked to check it in the FSX weather menu.
Maybe you don't see deicers for another reason, for example if you are trying to use an unsupported airplane and haven't created a configuration for it with deicer points.
Or you don't see them because you haven't installed the latest version.
Or you don't see them because you are trying to use them on a too small airplane (airplanes with wingspan less than 22 meters are not supported)
