As real as it gets. I thought I should fly level d but....

The fantastic Dynamic weather system based on realistic atmospheric physics, with true three-dimensional clouds that form and dissipate, and automatic real-world weather updates when you're connected to the Internet does not work.Any solutions? The weather loads only to 77% an then crashes the FS9!http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/108527.jpgAbove the only real world weather allowed today.Then the FS9 crashed.http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/108528.jpg

That happened to me when I installed DXT HiFps clouds from Fs Sky World. Try to restore the default clouds and weather texture in FS9, and see what happens.

Also to try--enable "Render to Texture" in your display/hardware settings...-John

also you could delete fs9.cfg and let fs rebuild it - same thing happened to me once.regards,Mark3.2HT/1GIG/X700pro256

Thanks, -I have tried all. Nothing seems to work.

[John_Cillis 2,406]

Only other thing I can think of is real weather loads the data into a file--it's kept in the same folder tree that the fs9.cfg is stored in. I don't remember the name, but if you search the folder tree and sort everything by date order, you may be able to identify it. I recall seeing something like this when downloading real weather. I deleted the file, and was able to download. Just a guess--I don't use real weather or dynamic weather that often since I have a slow system and the real and dynamic weather really thickens up the cloud deck--thus lowering my msfs performance.-John

Yes thats the wxstationlist_file. I have deleted that one, - does not help. Must be a "main" problem in Fs9.

[John_Cillis 2,406]

Could be a problem with the way FS9 is installed or working on your system. This is not a common problem so I wouldn't consider it a bug.Why don't you post the rest of your system specs--O/S, CPU--the works. Maybe someone will see something that can steer them towards helping you.-John

After "Google" search:The same thing here:http://forums.flightsim.com/dcforum/DCForumID21/21311.html

[John_Cillis 2,406]

Still doesn't mean it's a bug--especially since the thread has no follow-up. If you want help, post your specs and as I said, maybe something will catch someone's eye. Also remember, real weather is being downloaded from an external source. It is quite likely that sometimes the data can get corrupt--could even be spyware on the downloader's system corrupting the data as it comes in.If you really want expert help, download HijackThis, run a scan, and post the log results here. Could be something going on in the background that you're unaware of thats trashing the weather data and causing FS9 to CTD.-John

Suddenly it works!?:http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/108573.jpghttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/108574.jpgBut I think it is a bit unstable.

[John_Cillis 2,406]

Takes me back then to my hunch that these random issues may be caused by bad data in the Real Weather feed. I don't know if there's anyway around that.Wonder how common the problem really is? That would determine if it's unstable or just plain bad luck.-John

So far so god!Thanks a lot!I think that the bug originate from Jeppesen data.But I am not shure.

[Guest Caveman]

So... What kind of performance hit comes from using the realistic weather option? I'd assume that after the initial download finishes then no performance hit?

[Guest GabrielR]

No, actually there is where the real performance issue begins, clouds being drawn on the Screen take a lot of resources.Best choice: Get Active Sky (Payware) and ActiveSky HiFPS (Freeware) you would not go back, and the performance issue is smaller.
