Not long ago several people (myself included) had a problem of flight sim crashing while using real wx and flying out of our around Seattle. The problem involved he weather.dll file and then a few days later the problem seemed to go away. Tonight however I was on a flight from SLC to DFW and about 60 mile west of SPS had the same problem. Knowing that this might happen I now frequently save my flight and was able to re-start the flight a few miles prior to the "crash". After a couple of times of this event I cleared the weather, proceeded with the flight and after passing SPS downloaded real weather again and continued on to DFW without another crash. So, this issue is not apparently confined to the Seattle area, could occur anywhere and must have something to do with an individual wx report. Any ideas???

I have had exactly the same problems when flying south and west of Mt Ranier, when I turned off the live weather, things were okay.
