Guys, I need help. Squawkbox has decided it no longer wants to add rain or any precipitation for that matter when online. To my knowledge I haven't changed any fsuipc settings, I've reinstalled FS, fsuipc, squawkbox.. nothing.Winds and clouds are ok but no rain when it clearly shows it in an online METAR... nada. I've reset fsuipc to normal defaults, and would be interested if anyone has seen this... or if there is a checkbox in fsuipc I have checked or unchecked.I have latest versions of SB and fsuipc, on FS2000.Any help would be appreciated.MicTic

This has been touched upon in other threads, but I'll go ahead and respond here.The Squawkbox weather engine DOES NOT support precipitation. Never has, but I won't go so far as to say never will, as 3.0 is currently in the development phase.Some people have purchased FSMeteo, and have found that to be a suitable replacement. I use ActiveSky (freeware), and if the only upper winds you seek is for the US, this program is highly recommended, as it gives you the option to use the VATSIM metars instead of the NOAA ones.Every time a METAR says I have precip in this little gem, I get precip in the sim.Do a search on ActiveSky in the library, I'm sure you'll find it. Also, if you decide to use it, make sure you set SB's weather engine to "Ignore Real World Weather".
