MS Real Weather Site

Featured Replies

Hi Everybody,Anyone having problems with the real weather download site? When I download the first window completes the download the the sim freezes up and eventually creates a window error message. I have not changed or downloaded any thing since it was working OK yesterday. I have tried a repair but still same problem. Isent the error report to Micrsoft.Any response/Richie35

Since about friday night, real world weather either freezes or crashes FSX for me about 80% of the time. Also at the same time, it learned to lock when I hit "Go to briefing" to play a mission. And appears to freeze for 10+ seconds after I click "OK" after selecting an aircraft or "Fly." Just suddenly started up, I didnt change anything.

Thanks Radivil for your reply. I guess the problem is indeed with the site and hope MS will repair it.Thanks again.Richie35

Same here.Peter Sydney Australia

I've had the same problem. When it tries to load the weather, it locks up.

Ye, i'm getting the exact same problem: It downloads 100% then crashes before the next load can happen and restarts my FS. It even restarted my pc on one occassion. I got it working last night on another account on my pc but I know loads of people who are having the same problem; some said they could download it but it had 0kt winds and silly errors and didn't update after 15 mins etc.Lets hope Jeppesen or MS can fix it soon ;(.

Hi,Active Sky X includes an indefinite "subscription" to the private HiFi DataNet X weather collection and distribution system. When you purchase the product it's all included ;)Best,

I'll give this one a shot being the dollar conversion rate is really in my favor right now .
