January 6, 201214 yr Its driving me crazy because I cant remember the name of this software that came out in the early 90's for FS5. It was a DOS bassed weather program for FS5 that did what Active sky does today only in a more primitive way. It was ugly looking Dos software that connected to an FAA server and downloaded real weather an feed it to Flightsimulator. Since FS5 didnt render clouds well, It was hard to tell if it was even working correctly. As I remember it stopped working after a few months. I seem to remember there was some licening issues as where it was getting its data from and it was supposed to be fixed to pull the data from somewhere else, but never was. At that time everyone had 2800 baud dial-up modems so it was slow getting the weather too.Anyone remember what this was called?Rob
January 8, 201214 yr Hey Rob...I've kept all my old Flight Sim software/stuff(commodore, Atari, Sublogic ATP...etc) ....the one (3.5") disk set I have was called Real Weather Pilot from Mallard(TekMate?). It also came with a patch disk. The software is dated 1993.Not sure if that's the one you were looking for though.... Edited January 8, 201214 yr by contrailer
