no NOAA weather data at the moment

[Fly_High 1]

Hello gentlemen,

Could somebody please confirm that there's no NOAA weather data at the moment?

I activated it in the option menu, but there's no data showing up.

Thanks

NOAA decided to use encrypted connections (HTTPS/SSL) which is a good thing. Bad thing is that they broke the old HTTP connections and probably a lot of applications which rely on it.

You can fix this yourself in the options dialog. Replace "http" with "https". Next version of LNM will update the value automatically.

Will this also work on a P3Dv4 network setup?

Sure. Why not? The NOAA weather source (besides VATSIM and IVAO) is for  all simulators. If that matches with the actual weather in the simulator is another story.

BTW: This is fixed with the 2.2.4.
