Well, its beyond me whats going on here....It was working 3 days ago, it always has worked. but...For the last 2 days i have been clicking the weather tab, selecting "real world weather updated every 15 mins" when i hit ok i get;"An error occurred while downloading Real World Weather. Please check your internet connection and configuration and try again."For one i am connected to the internet, as im always connected to the multiplayer server i fly on....Its just wierd as it started 2 days ago. the only addons that have come or gone in them days areFlight deck 3 - UninstalledFlight deck 6 - InstalledFlight deck 6 - UninstalledFlight deck 3 - ReinstalledAnd to be honest i dont think they have messed with the weather...Any help, comment or suggestion would be appreciated.RegardsLiam

Liam,What I am going to say is probably not what you would like to hear. Anyway, I'll try. :(I remember trying to use the default RW weather download option and getting frequent problems with it, including the one you described.Plus there were other errors concerning some library files, especially the weather.dll.Then I decided to try some weather addons and... this was the last time I've experienced the default RWX.So what I am saying here is a recommendation for you to use weather addons. You will forget about the errors plus will get many more options and better weather depiction.There is some good freeware around, FSMetar ( http://personal.tele...es/web/fsmetar/ )coming to my mind now, but if you don't miss some dollars go fro ActiveSky ( http://www2.hifisim.com/ ). You will never regret it.

"An error occurred while downloading Real World Weather. Please check your internet connection and configuration and try again."

It may be worth checking your FS9.cfg file has the correct entry under [Weather]:WeatherServerAddress=fs2k.zone.comThis tells your system what server to connect to for the weather.Sometimes that server is unreachable for some reason. If you still have this problem, try visiting http://fs2k.zone.com/ on the web and see if you can access it. This will tell you if the server is reachable.John

This use to be a problem that occured once or twice a year. I believe that the primary problem was that Jeperson site, used by FS9, would go off line for maintenace.Tom

It hasnt gone of for maintenance, as i have asked the users on my server i co-run to test theirs and its fine.I was thinking of completely removing the FS9 cfg to see if that resolved it when it created a new one, but....i will go check the weather partI can click that link, and it loads perfectly, telling me how to download real world weather, that is, if that what it is meant to say... I will go see what i can do.Cheers for your responses guys, much appreciated :)Liam

If your settings are all correct then maybe your Firewall is stopping the software contacting the internet.John

The thing is tho, it always has worked, and updated every 15 minutes...it just the last 2 days its being funny in my cfg it readsWeatherServerAddress=fs2k.zone.comwhich is right i presumeI can also load that website with instruction on how to d/l the weather from in the simWhats this a read about the weather.dll?Liam

ahh, its decided to start working again :) well, for now ahaCheers for the help guys Liam
