FS Metars not working

After last week's issue with just getting FS2004 to start (and many thanks to the many contributors on that one!), I wonder if something similar is now occurring with FS Metars (i.e., Win 7 is blocking the metars downloads). It happens with all three sources (IVAO, VATSIM, and NOAA), with the message "Metars download failed."

 

thanks.

Hi John, open your FSMetar.ini file with notepad and change:

 

http://usa-s1.vatsim.net/data/metar.php?id=ALL

 

to:

 

http://metar.vatsim.net/metar.php?id=ALL

 

Then in options set VATSIM as the default source.
