FSRealWX?

I've been using it for years and I know it still works. I'm trying to get it set up on the new machine but I'm hitting some problems.

It won't connect to FSUIP. This may be a 'WX update issue as I installed it from a much older zip file and its balky trying to get it connected to the web site.
Is anyone *really* home at FSRealWX? The program translates weather files from NOAA(??), Vatsim, and ICAO so its pretty automatic.

Any Win11 users have any info? Does it even work with Win11? Run as Admin or not? The only Compatibility option I get is for Win8. I installed it to a Windows (X86) / Microsoft Games location. Good idea or bad?

If you're running FSRealWX on Win11, how did you set it up?

:ernaehrung004:
 
I'm trying to do this on the "up and up" but that doesn't seem to be the best solution. :dizzy:
Back in the day, I paid the fee for both FSRealWX and FSUIPC and had them registered.

FS9 on the new machine got FSUIPC installed with some ABACUS aircraft carriers.
I'm going to attach my "master" (Win10) HDD clone to the new machine and transfer over my registered FSUIPC install plus the complete FSRealWX files and see how Win11 likes it. :unsure:

On the Win10 machine, I found the "key" file from getting FSUIPC registered and opened it up to check it out. Way back when, I had mis-spelled my email addr and tried to correct it, just for S&G. FSRealWX didn't like it and wouldn't connect. :dizzy: I'm thinking that "key" file is the one thing that's holding up the works :wiggle: so I'll try doing a bulk transfer of both files. It isn't an elegant solution but what the heck.

Meanwhile, I did some exploring on my "new" install of FS2002 Pro on the new machine. It turns out, there WERE two versions of FS2002. :p
Several years ago, I bought the complete FS2002 Pro box set for my Box and CD collection and this addition was the bee's knees. The box has a label on it saying its an official M$ evaluation copy. Cool, maybe Bill himself or Steve had handled the box?
Anyway, I played around with FS2202 Pro and found that the ONLY stock plane that didn't get a VC was the Mooney. ALL the airliners have full VCs.
I want to check out some scenery areas. Redmond, Wa for sure and Seattle. I also want to check out Brussels. I kept seeing screen shots of the Atomium for FS payware titles, but I was never able to find it. Maybe now? :unsure: Meanwhile, I DID install some Abacus carriers with FSUIPC and the arrestor cables work again. :wiggle: I may leave this install "mostly pristine" and just add some basic moon, sun and skybox mods. Maybe some of the FS9 aircraft I converted to FS2002?
