• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

I'm having trouble with downloading the default weather. Is it down? Or is it my problem?
What do I check to correct it?
I don't know why I care ... it's never right.
Thanks
 
Joe all real world weather has been down since yesterday some time.

Check the FS9 forum for an alternative. FSMetar's it works in FSX also.
 
I have metar but server 1 has been down fora while and it takes about 15 min to switch to 2.

Thanks
 
Yes the IVAO server has done something to there weather page and FSMetar can not find it.

Simply change the default download location to VATSIM

In the program on the top tool bar

go to FSMetar

Select Configuration

In the default download server select VATSIM (NOAA also fails for me)

My other settings are

FS Refresh 30 seconds
Send Metar to FS Checked

Internet Refresh 15 minutes
Down load Metars when FSMetar starts checked

That at least will give you Real World Weather
