REX overdrive Win10 and FS9

[Browncoat]

I istaed REX, and everything seems to be ok. But, when I try to load weather data from my local airport using REX, the program just hangs. I can still navigate around it, but I just see a “loading” popover when I look at the loading screen for airports. I have the rexengine2.exe cleared through the firewall, And FS9 sees REX’s engine via FSUIPC, but the engine is stuck at 6% when loading. I’m not sure what to do.

Update:

I have reinstalled the program multiple times, moving it in and out of different locations, and fussing around with the firewall settings (giving both the weather engine, and REX.exe full access) but no change.

The Random generator works great, but I see a message that the map within the REX UI won't load due to a lack of internet (yes I made sure I was connected too).

There was a thread at Flightsim not long ago where the user couldn’t get REX weather to work. Maybe they pulled the plug on internet weather updates.

Active Sky still works, you can combine it with REX nicely.
