Charly,First of all welcome to the Active Sky Fourm! We hope you enjoy your stay. The message you are getting is from the winds aloft server. Over that same time period I have had one or two server problems. There is not much we can do. Some things you can do: make sure your Internet connection is as good as possible AND keep in mind that weather data is being processed correctly. I will watch the server and see if this gets worse. Please post back if you continue to have problems.Edit: Question, is this at all airports or a certain one or few?Hope this helps,JimActiveSky Support

If your Internet problem is solved you can go to Options and check ON the "Use FS2004 Weather Writes" box. You should then get weather in FS04.Hope this helps,JimActiveSky Support
