May 13, 20197 yr It looks as though FSXWX isn't working, cant download in the app (WX DATA initial download failed) and the site is offline. Hope it comes back, I really like it as a weather engine.
May 14, 20197 yr You're correct - FSXWX has stopped functioning, including the Site. I haven't been able to use it for about five days now. I have gone over to FSrealWX: https://www.fsrealwx.net/ A much better weather engine, though it appears that there's a limited use of about three weeks. I believe registration is required - not sure about any payment. Chris
May 14, 20197 yr I just tried to install FSREALWX 3.0 but my malware app keeps blocking the installer process as a "PUP" type of threat(?)

I believe registration is required - not sure about any payment. That is with full functionality, all the bells and such. The basic weather engine keeps working ( and working well I must add ) after the trial. Been using it for years. The one drawback? - slight nagware, not bad, just an inconvenience. After a few starts it either downloads a reset / update with auto updates off or has a startup counter in it. The settings get put back into default release. 😞 No problem - Takes less than a minute to change to your preferred. EDIT - Just seen there is a major update - above is applicable to "my" current version - v2.04.863, unknown about new version FS RTWR SHRS F-111 JoinFS Little Navmap

I didn't get the warning of a Potentially Unwanted Program at my installation. I've used it for a few days and there doesn't appear to be any problems. For that matter, Malwarebytes quarantines Advanced System Care as a PUP, and I've had that for donkey's years. So, it's up to you whether to go ahead with installing it or not.

Was going to register anyway. Chris
July 8, 20205 yr Seems to be off tonight getting an error: simconnect established FSUIPC established WXDATA Initial download failed connection closed Hope it comes back on line soon. Berlopez
July 11, 20205 yr I have v.1.6.1 Anyone know if this app. is going to work sometime in the near future ? Berlopez
July 12, 20205 yr Just saw a note on their Site which indicates that you need to have 1.6.2 as earlier versions won't fetch weather data anymore. https://www.fsxwx.com/note.htm Otherwise, there is FSRealWX 3.0 or the FSRealWX lite (under Downloads > Archive) https://www.fsrealwx.de/index.php Chris
July 13, 20205 yr Chris: Thanks for your reply and advice. Inmediately after reading it I went to the site using your link. yes there on the Top Right Corner v.1.6.2 is offered. But when I click on anything any of the tabs or the download buttom at the Top Right, nothing happens ? It's as if the site was down. Anyone know anything about this. Berlopez
July 14, 20205 yr That's peculiar. I just went to the site & it downloaded fine. I guess you also tried the green box with the down arrow? Would your browser be stopping access to that site? Chris
July 14, 20205 yr Hi Chris, thanks for your reply and guidelines; Yes I have clicked on the Green ball with the arrow and it downloads a file to my downloads in windows 10, It downloads a program.exe when i try to run this windows blocks it as unwanted and dangerous. I know this is a common fault...Even if I try to run it anyway and execute it into a temp. folder in my desktop it gives me a result of another .exe with the old FSXWX v1.6.1...Not the new v1.6.2. I just changed to Google Chrome, wonder if that could be the reason ?If it were how can I change my browser to be able to download the file ? Now very computer inadequate: Berlopez
July 15, 20205 yr Despite all my attempts to download from the link, NADA And I don't know how to fix my browser? I found another option: FSRealWX and downloaded that instead, works like a charm...but the final download the Green bar takes forever to run ( 15 mins) there after I get a preatty good weather picture. Berlopez
July 15, 20205 yr Glad you got that sorted out Bernardo. I did try the downloads before recommending them to you, and they seemed to download easily. However, I didn't want to run the Setup.exe: I use Chrome. Chris
