This is an addendum to my post on setting up FSMeteo. I have auto connect and disconnect enabled, but when I click start I get a message like "unable to find server" or "server is out of service" then "use download world weather and stay offline option". What's wrong? Thanks.

i wish i could help, but i have dsl, and fly with constant updateshave you checked with marc or does fsmeteo have an faq page?jd

If you're going to use that feature, you need to have FS_Meteo set up to do the dial-up and connect. It sounds as if that part isn't set up.What I did with dial-up was just to DL the world weather once. It was adequate for my uses. Sometimes if I know the weather I want to fly out of or into - like a big scary storm - I'll still DL the weather.However, you may wish to review the manual. You need to set up a few things, like a new dial-up connection, for FS_Meteo to dial out for you.I found that naming the dial-up connection FSMETEO, as is the default connection name in FS_Meteo, worked best. You use all your regular settings otherwise. You can try setting the connection name in FS_Meteo preferences to a dial-up connection name you have first.

Thanks Scott. I wanted to set up the FSMeteo connection as stated in the manual but then it said AOL users should disable the auto connect-disconnect option. My problem is I can't constantly be online while I am flying - the Mrs. and my daughter would have a fit on a 5 hr. trip from NY to LA. We only have one line. I was hoping to have FSMeteo auto dial as it says and then disconnect automatically after the download. Up till now I have been using the FS default jeppeson sight to download and then disconnect.
