BACKING UP AIRHAULERYou need to copy 2 items 1) The ah9.mdb and/or ahX.mdb file in the AirHauler folder, depending upon whether you are using FS9, FSX or both. 2) Your company file(s) in the Company folder which will be a .mdb file with the name you originally set the company up as. There will be one file for each company. If AH is open, you will also see ldb files there. Those do not need to be backed up - AH deletes them on closing and will re-create them on start-up.

mutley 4,498 Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 Phil, Have you tried using Active Sky to generate the weather? It really is very good and generally better than the MS default. Link to post Share on other sites

It really is very good and generally better than the MS default. Hi Mutley, Never heard of that one, will be having a look in a moment for it, just about to land my 737-800 at Dublin I was thinking of getting REX 2, but I hate downloads, as you know I prefer everything on disc. But have been worried adding more will hit my frame rate, but seems to be running excellent now, have most settings just about right. I don't mind the default clouds as such, but I am always keen to make it more realistic, even though I am still a novice Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,498 Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 Hi Phil, I forgot about the download embargo, I have always used Active Sky (Now on the advanced edition) http://www2.hifisim.com/node/3 no the cheapest, I had forgotten that REX2 had the weather engine.

Hey this is almost real time support My landing at Dublin didn't go to plan, someone parked another aircraft one the runway, had to go around I think I will have to download one of these, just prefer the disc as you know, I might go for the REX 2, need to read some more to see which is better as hadn't heard of Active Sky before you just mentioned it. Could do with replacing the ground textures more as the default ones look terrible in my opinion. Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,498 Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 Active Sky has always been the industry leader, it was one of the "holy trinity" before REX came along. The programs were= Flight Environment, Ground Environment and Active Sky. Cheers Link to post Share on other sites

It is a little confusing to start with... Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,498 Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 Active Sky is the weather engine, they have their own graphics called X Graphics as a separate package, not worth bothering with this is just a replacement sky and cloud colour package. REX2 is a multi function program. It gives you the superior cloud , sky and sea textures and a weather engine. Sorry Phil, gotta go, hope to be back later Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry Phil, gotta go, hope to be back later Hi M8, No problem, add me on your msn later and we can catch up, I might go for REX 2 as seems to add more value as an overall product and I can download it quick, still a shame it's not on disc, will have to make my own I guess :-) Link to post Share on other sites

mutley 4,498 Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 Great choice Phil, you'll love the difference it will make. I forgot about the DVD service and I think it does come all the way from Oz Ps, not on MSN any more for many reasons :nea: Cheers Link to post Share on other sites

Have just setup a route with AH and flying my Boeing 737 and low and behold it's dark now.... will have to see what it is like in daylight tomorrow... :nea: So far so good, although my framerate coming out of my Hi Res Heathrow dropped to 6fps, up to about 30 fps in the sky though, may need a few more tweaks...

mutley 4,498 Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 Nice one Phil, flying at night you will not see much difference That extra update to take it to REX2 is a P.I.T.A. but a necessary evil as highlighted by our review http://mutleyshangar.com/features/martw/rex.htm Wait to daybreak, a pleasant surprise is install. You must fly real-time like me. Cheers Link to post Share on other sites

You must fly real-time like me. Cheers Hi Mutley. The installation went pretty smooth and I had read a few horror stories on forums which didn't seem to effect me at all. I do try and fly real time most of the time when playing AH with Real Weather turned on too, need to get more practice in with ILS approaches though, still not very good at them and sometimes really struggle in bad weather. Was thinking of getting a Boeing 747 soon to have a go with, but need to upgrade some of my AI aircraft too... it's tough being CEO at SlimAir :nea: I am not sure I will every be up to see day break, im a night creature...

rob16584 42 Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 Hi Phil, When you have a spare few minutes it's well worth playing around with REX to create a theme that you like. I've got a few created for various regions of the world and if I know I want to fly there I just need to install the theme. Best to set the theme installing and go make a drink whilst it does it's work. I rarely used REX for the weather as it seems to have a few bugs which cause FSX to crash, I used ASX instead. I might have a look around their site to see if there are any updates that might help the crashing issue Link to post Share on other sites

Are you still running Vista as I am using Windows 7 and FSX hasn't crashed once, but used to with XP Pro. Also do you use Direct X 10 preview as I also have that turned off as it also is very buggy. Worth a try if it makes things more stable in FSX. Link to post Share on other sites
