Weather for FS9

Featured Replies

Hey!

I'm almost desperately searching for a good working weather program, like Activesky. This latter stopped working ubder Windows 10. So I'm searching for a similar result program, that wordks well for FS9 under Windows 10. I've tested several ones, but none works completely well. Without a weather engine FS9, this is what I"m still flying on, is only half as nice as with a good working weather engine program.

Who knows what I should do?

If you have an old computer lying around with Windows 7 or Vista on it, you can run ASE on it and network it to your FS9 install with WideFS.  That’s what I’m doing now, and it works, for as long as the AS servers keep running.

Hey! 

Thanks fot the advise.

I just want to keep my present means, an excellent modern computer, Windows 10, FS9, because they give me full satisfaction, but  only the weather is what ennois me, that is far from good!

I tested several weather programs, but all do they miss one or another item. I'm now looking for a, best is freeware, weatherprogram that gives also satisfaction like Activesky did before….

I run 2 weather programs for FS9:

- FSRealWX (sometimes I find it buggy in FS9 but no issues in FSX).

- FSMetar (originally developed for FS8, but still runs in Win10. Apart from the window flickering, no issues).

Hi

 

I don't think there is a feeware that will live up to ASE. I would back others comments though and if you can get Pilots FS Global Real Wx. It is really good and still supported for FS9. I bought it at the start of the year and like it a lot. It also works well if you want to run on a separate PC and network it, which is what I do. 

At least for me,FS Global real weather works great IN FS9.  The reason i got it because you can use it in FS9,FSX,and P3D

i use fsrealwx and love it!!

Hi, just installed fsrealwx and when the program opens it states 20 days of trial period left. Do you need to purchase to continue using the program, I understood it was a free program. Regards

Did you even try FSATIS which I directed you too on Simviation and spent a while explaining?

Over ASE, looks like they pulled the plug exactly as I expected. Still works partially but I want fully working. I bought FSRGW.

Hi Skywatcher. What am I not getting in ASE anymore? I just checked now and downloaded the weather which is as it should be currently at my local airport so that part seems to be OK.
