GFD150 Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 What's the issue with the default live weather? When i fly out of south florida it's always thundering and raining even when it's not doing it in real life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViperPilot2 Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 You're experiencing the same thing many others have with the Default Real Time Weather; it's been hit or miss now for years! Get this... it works much better than the Default, it's free, and don't pay any mind to the "Trial version" messages; it's freeware: http://www.fsrealwx.net/ You'll also need FSUIPC, which interfaces FSRealWX with the Sim... http://www.schiratti.com/dowson.html :) "I created the Little Black Book to keep myself from getting killed..." -- Captain Elrey Borge Jeppesen AMD 1.9GB/8GB RAM/AMD VISION 1GB GPU/500 GB HDD/WIN 7 PRO 64/FS9 CFS CFS2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GFD150 Posted October 24, 2014 Author Share Posted October 24, 2014 i signed up for the FSrealWX. It says waiting for me to activate the account. But i haven't gotten a activation email yet. How long does it normally take to get? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViperPilot2 Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Did you click on the Download link at the Website, and download the program? There's no 'activation'... just D/L the program and Install it. Make sure you also get FSUIPC (the free version), and Install that, too. FSRealWX won't work without FSUIPC.

GFD150 Posted October 24, 2014 Author Share Posted October 24, 2014 Does this work with window's 8? I downloaded it. i have the lastest FSUIPC from the link you posted. Which is FSUIPC 3.999Z9. Or does the FSUIPC For FSX Work in FS2004 to. That one is FSUIPC4 4.937 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViperPilot2 Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 You use FSUIPC for FS9 (FS2004), which is 3.999Z9. It should be W8 compatible, because no one has mentioned anything about it not working with W8. As always, read the Documentation CAREFULLY. Take your time and don't rush.

GFD150 Posted October 24, 2014 Author Share Posted October 24, 2014 thanks. What are your setting in the program? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViperPilot2 Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 There are no 'Settings' for FSUIPC, unless you have the Paid Version. It runs in the background; you don't have to turn it 'on' or 'off'. If you've installed FSUIPC properly, when the Sim is running there should be a 'Modules' listing on the FS 2004 Toolbar. PhantomTweak gave you the Instructions on how to use FSRealWX in the Forum Thread I gave you the link for, and also in his response over @ AVSIM. Honestly... it's really that easy.
