HiI have recently returned to flightsimming and am having problems with the weather not updating. I am using FS 2004 and AS 4.5 B193. When I flew two days ago (Oct 23) everything seemed fine. Yesterday I was still getting the previous days weather (home airport is in UK EGSY). I thought it was a server problem. Today I still appear to be getting Monday's weather (231050Z). Certainly the rain outside is not being represented (I'm getting blue sky with broken clouds.) I am using Norton Internet Security 2005 but it is configured to allow AS to connect. There is about 370k of info downloaded everytime I run the program. I've tried various settings in the config file but to no avail. I have followed the instructions in the manual to the letter. My ini file is://AS2004.5 configuration file B193[General]WindowPosX = 105WindowPosY = 105DefaultWeatherFolder = D:Flight Simulator 9ModulesActiveSky2004SuppressionCeiling = 4000SurfaceWindLimit = 10CloudLayerLimit = 5LocalSuppressionRange = 50MinimumVisibility = 0MaximumVisibility = 59LastPlanFolder = C:Documents and SettingsPWMy DocumentsFlight Simulator FilesIncreasedWake = FalseDisableWindsAloft = FalseForceTstormsWithCB = FalseAutoConvertPlanFiles = TrueDisableVisGraduation = FalseDOWNLOADTHROTTLE = FalseForceDestinationWeatherZone = FalsePreventIcing = TrueOnlineUpdates = TrueExtendedDestinationWindsForce = FalseDisableAllGroundUpdates = FalseGlobalWrites = FalseDepictFS9HazeLayer = TrueExtendTstormLayers = FalseDisableDirectWindControl = FalseVoicePlayback = TrueLocalSuppression = TrueStartupSound = FalseDisableGroundUpdates = FalseUseProxyServer = FalseFogLayerGeneration = TrueUpdateSuppression = TrueOvercastEnhancement = TrueIgnoreFSReadyStatus = FalseFSUIPCWindSmoothing = TrueLimitSurfaceWinds = FalseLimitCloudLayers = TrueAutoGlobalWriteToggle = TrueRainWithTS = TrueDisableUpperLayerGeneration = FalseVisibilitySmoothing = TrueDisableMessages = FalseAutoTimeZoneDetection = TrueUpdateInterval = 10VATSIMData = FalseZuluConversion = 1AloftPredictability = 100WindDriftRate = 0TAFProcessing = TrueEnforceVisibilityLimits = TrueWakeTurb = TrueStartPaused = FalseUseSystemTime = TrueDisableCAVOKClouds = FalseProxyAddress = NONEAny help would be appreciated.CheersPaul

Hi Paul,Sorry that you are having a problem. Server is up so that is not it. I just tried with my copy and got a good download.

I have just tried it again, without making any other adjustments, and now it appears to be giving me the weather I'm getting outside, even though the 231050Z remains at the top right corner of the AS window. Now, though, the line below is:EGSY 251945Z 22008KT 3000 +RA BKN012 BKN020CB RMK AUTO GENERATED AS2004.5 13/10 Q0992 RMK DYNAMIC TAF ELEMENT RMK SUPPRESSEDwhereas earlier it was stuck at 231050Z.Honest, I haven't changed any settings!Paul
