Hi Micha,I'm afraid I can't help you as I have a similar problem. In my case my flight Sim just 'freezes' when I try to donwload real weather; I then have to abort the flight. All working OK yesterday though. I'm in Somerset, England.Doesn't help you, but at least you are not alone :)Ken

Why not try FS Metar? It is freeware and gives you a choice of download sources.

I found fsmetarbeta1 but it's in spanish, is there an english version?

[Guest Charlie Hall]

There should be English text in the latest version (although I thought all versions had English text) from the author's website here: http://personal.telefonica.terra.es/web/fsmetar/
