    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

FSXWX stopped working

Hi,
I have used FSXWX for a long time to inject real time weather into my sim.
For the last couple of weeks it has been failing to load weather and generates a "WX DATA initial download failed" error.

I have the latest version that is available on the website.

I tried to register for the website forum to post a question and am told that "Sorry, but you cannot register at this time because the administrator has disabled new account registrations".

Does anyone have any ideas about how to solve this issue? I've gone back to FSRealWXPro but prefer the rendering of FSXWX.

I'm afraid that this might be another bit of software that has reached the end of its life.
thanks

Hi,
I can highly recommend Active Sky 2016 as a weather engine, if you were thinking of going down the payware pathway, and it is available at a sale price at the moment. I have been using it in FSX for years together with Active Sky Cloud Art and Envtex and I have been very pleased with it.

The last freeware option is FSrealWX Lite, however, recent airports not offered by NOAA never appear, and unfortunately it doesn't reflect Grib Stations.
 
I didn't think the free version of FSRealWX worked anymore. I thought all of the free versions lost connections when they went to version 3.0 which is payware.
