beroun Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Hi, Meant weather! the FS9 real weather does not seem to be updating anymore. Used to work fine with some sporadic unserviceability but always came back. Now it seems to be U/S for months. I have the Real Weather Pro uploaded, works fine but It always rearranges my desktop icons. Does anyone know anything about the FS9 built in real weather problems, or is it just me? If it is just me is there any remedy. Any advise would be much appreciated. Thanks, Peter Peter Bendl ex. British Airways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 All gone now, never to return. The servers are no longer updated, so whatever weather was locked in is there to stay. Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhantomTweak Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 It's been an on-again-off-again situation for years. Now it appears to be an off-again permanent situation. Best choice, get a 3rd party weather program. I use FSRealWX Lite and it works just fine. There are any number of others, payware and freeware, but I'm a cheap SOG (Son of a gun). FSRealWX is freeware with the OPTION to pay for enhanced features, much like FSUIPC. It works as freeware, but the payware version is better. Like I said, though...Cheap SOG... Have fun!

beroun Posted June 11, 2018 Author Share Posted June 11, 2018 Hi guys, many thanks, I actually for the FSRealWX, one of you chaps was kind enough to send me the download link. It works great but somehow the program affects my desktop icons (reshuffles these to default) and after booting up I need to change these back to my original positions. This is in spite of all the parameters set correctly to prevent this. In either case just posted this to see if the default FS9 weather update is gone for ever, unfortunately it is. No big deal I can work around it. Cheers Peter Peter Bendl ex. British Airways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnhinson Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Only one person claims it has gone for ever. Nobody else seems to know this. As has been said it has had spells of outage before. It would be interesting to know if FSX users have the same problem - I may be wrong but I can't imagine Microsft ran separate weather streams.

Yes, FSX has the same problem. I haven't looked to see if they used the same download source for their weather, but they both do have the same problem. I believe, but I'm not certain, that they both use the same weather source. Does that answer your question?
