epopchock Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 hey, I am having this problem with the freeware weather engine fsxwx and I just noticed that this past Friday, it wouldn't download any weather data for March 2018 (it still was able to upload weather data for January without any issues). I noticed this problem when I was trying to do a flight from Los Angeles to Hawaii. I chose a date in June of this year (2018) and it worked fine. Now when I went onto my flight simulator to test it today, I made a flight plan for a flight from Los Angeles to Riverside California, and I couldn't get the program to download any current or past weather data. Nor could I be able to access the website of this product to get help, even though I was able to access it on Friday. Any ideas about what is going on here and are others experiencing this problem? I want to be able to do flights without having to manually enter weather settings. Evan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrzippy Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 The fsxwx site seems to be down for the count. Probably their servers too:eek: @Tim....FSXWX is a freeware program like FSRealweatherlite. Not the inSim weather. Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer!

mallcott Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 FSX is more than a dozen years old. Why is it so surprising original things no longer work? After market needed for weather. A healthy respect for the fact that age and decrepitude means things no longer work also... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiger1962 Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 @Tim....FSXWX is a freeware program like FSRealweatherlite. Not the inSim weather. So it is, my bad! I caved in last month and bought FSGRW (can't stand AS - too fiddly). FSGRW can be auto-launched from a command line in the desktop shortcut, it runs in the background and stays there - perfect!
