Not working for FSX either.Perhaps the server is down because they are configuring it to work for the new sim? Worse case you need to buy one of the Active Sky products or similar.

Does REX use the same system (or whatever its called) for downloading weather as microsoft? Cause REX has it's own real time weather options. (I am not home now to check)

Relax everybody.The weather seems to be working fine now at 3:30pm PDT.Todd

Thanks for letting us know. I am not home now so I couldn't check to see if it was working today.
The word at flightsim is that it's over for good, no more realworld weather provided by the server.Over and out
Huh, I don't know where whoever over at flightsim got the idea that RW is over for good. In any case they're misinformed, RW is going again just fine this afternoon....

Why? Folks here are just as likely to be misinformed, hysterical, et cetera as anywhere else! :He He:The weather server has been down many, many, many times over the past ten years. Sometimes only for a few hours, other times for as long as a week... :(

Well it's down again today at 11.00 UTC. Hopefully it's just a case of server maintenance at times when the majority of simmers or not on line. :(
