HI,I noticed for the past week or so that ASX has not changes the weather servers data from VATSIM. For example FSCommander has done so. The result: after loading a flight and data ASX will crash after about 3 to 4 minutes. Do you guys plan to issue a fix for that?

Hi,Not sure if we were even aware that VATSIM changed their weather servers. We'll look into it for sure!

Ok thanks guys I would really appreciate it :(

Hi,We are not aware of any changes and if there were, ASX should automatically detect the changes. Can you give us a little more information on what you are experiencing in ASX with the VATSIM option?Thanks,

Looks like I am also having the same issue. Turn off the VATSIM option and it works okay but have it on and crash on update. See http://forums1.avsim.net/index.php?showtopic=236734

Found this on the FSCommander Support site so looks like they did change.
we just released a patch for version 8.4. in order to cope with the new weather file and location as well as the changes in the VATSIM file.
