Hello... when I first start up wxRE, I have to wait a while for it to do some kind of initialization. That includes getting the weather for DGAA (why, I don't know). During this time, the program is not responsive and it is not possible to get a wx briefing, for example. Could startup be speeded up by removing the DGAA weather download? Why not just make the program sit idle, waiting for a "GET" input or for FS2002 to startup?Cheers,Peter

Peter,You already have this option, in Options it is called "Start wxRE Paused(Refresh to Start)". Have you tried this?Hope this helps,JimActiveSky Support

Whoa... a quick reply! I posted the question, flew CYGK to CYYZ (40 minutes), checked back into this forum and there lies the answer!Yes, that's the trick. Start wxRE paused. Sorry, I missed that.Thanks,PeterPS: A cold front is moving into the region (in real life) and we have winds at 17 knots with gusts to 24. Thanks to wxRE, it was a challenging and bumpy flight this evening :-)
