June 28Jun 28 Weather download failled: GRIB file not found. GRIB-1970-01-01-00.00-ZULU-srfc.grib METAR file not found metar-1970-01-01-00.00.txt Learning to fly gliders since 1980Stopped using flightsims for good since early August 2026, after 34 yrs using some really great specimens... If I'm asked to name the preferred one, after all these years, MSFS 2024 is my answer without hesitation.(No desktop :-// after the last one crashed for good, so no simming, but I keep polling AVSIM - my main ludic activities spot since around 2006...)
June 28Jun 28 Yes, the weather server is broken at the moment. Lamminar knows and Laminar will fix it. No time frame though.Workaround: Manual weather. 7950X3D + 7900 XT + 64 GB + Linux | 4800H + RTX2060 + 32 GB + Linux My add-ons from my FS9/FSX days
June 28Jun 28 what a fkin joke. not cheap payware bought by many many thousands of people this shoud be fixed in a couple of hours. all it does it DLs a 100megs, input is a primitive text file based system, not working for 2 days when theres a serious weather phenomenon over europe now. no wonder realistic weather simulation is so far behind actual possibilities in current sims.
June 28Jun 28 Mmm no that has nothing to do with it. It's not LR's fault. The sim downloads realtime wx files from US gov. The distribution servers that XP uses are down and I imagine will likely stay down for the rest of the day because it's the weekend. Historical wx does work. That server is LR's. Edited June 28Jun 28 by blingthinger Friendly reminder: WHITELIST AVSIM IN YOUR AD-BLOCKER. Especially if you're on a modern CPU that can run a flight simulator well. These web servers aren't free...

June 28Jun 28 Not working in 12.4.0 Prod, either. I fell back to my 12.3.3 install and it wouldn’t even launch (hung on getting weather message)

This is the first time I personally can remember live weather being fundamentally non-functional. I’m confident that if it were in Laminar’s immediate ability to repair, they’d have done it by now. I.e., we’re looking at some upstream 3rd party vendor problem of some sort.

June 29Jun 29 The fault was with NOAA, not Laminar. But real weather is working again. 7950X3D + 7900 XT + 64 GB + Linux | 4800H + RTX2060 + 32 GB + Linux My add-ons from my FS9/FSX days
