2 Qs: Start-up w/o downloading, and minus numbers in WxConfig

[frankinbahia 0]

I just purchased and installed ASE (FS9/XP). What a great app!!I have two questions:1)When I launch ASE, by default it tries to download weather after loading the internal files. That's great for folks who have a reliable internet connection (mine is down more often than up). Is it possible to configure ASE so that it does not automatically try to download upon start-up? (Otherwise, I have a 5-minute wait while it tries to connect to a non-existent connection.)2) On the WxConfig page, I'm unable to enter negative numbers in the temp and dewpoint boxes. Unfortunately, I get lots of days with sub-zero weather! Have tried with both of the "-" keys. What's the secret?Thanks, guys! Frank

Hi,Yes, you can uncheck "Automatic Online Updates", save your options, and now ASE will use the last downloaded weather upon start (thus it will be in offline mode). You can then enable the automatic updates as required.
