Unfortunately I stil get the WaterMarkl

Thanks Indeed Chris, One thing I haven't been able to manage is to post images in my posts, using phobucket even if the images get a watermark; That's why I instead copy the link. Bernardo

Just managed a complete flight without CTD's and landed ILS at Åarhus airport. https://app.photobucket.com/u/berlopez/p/4105fa37-0141-4024-ba26-335fb7970dfc Berlopez

Just now experiencing CTD with FSXWX 1.6.2 just when I loaded it I got this window, which is when the weather loads, just before I minimize and maximize FSX. https://app.photobucket.com/u/berlopez/p/9db35de5-8238-4bac-be9d-e42e8b0a4ba4

'Morning Chris, as you can see I am at it right now, Just checked and right after I load my default flight here in Copenhagen Kastrup I then minimize window, thenII double click FSXWX icon on desktop ( Run as administarator). As per instructions, then click connect then it tells me simconnect established, FSUIPC established I then wait a bit and it then loads the weather and all it's parameters, wind direction, QNH, etc,etc...Then Iminimize that window and the weather is already loaded innto FSX, I then tell it to put my default plane to Active Runway, and that is it. As you say the process takes about 20 seconds; It loads about 61 weather stations. Yes I have managed fixes for my other issues; Thanks for your imputs and patients: Bernardo

Hi again Chris and B.T.W: The download weather times of this program FSRealWX.3.0 is 15 mins. as this is the time described in the users guide. I'd like to add I don't want to be missunderstood that I am badmouthing thiss program as it work like a charm. the only downside is the long loading time; Though I figured that once the Green bar runs for the first time and loads the airports the weather will load, and one can check this by going to the airport of your choice loading and then choosing "Active Runway" Berlopz

Hi Chris, sorry I left the topic. I decided for FSRealWX3.0 which is aa simular application, But with the difference it takes 15 minutes to download the weather !? After using it all this time, I gave my DeskTop icon of FSWX a try and got the same error after it connected to simconnect and FSUIPC ??, I figured it was still down or my download or sim were in the Fritz! I am not one that gives up easy, so I tried one of the other (older) FSWX downloads I had in my downloads folder and Voila I found v.1.0.0.0. dated 4.6.20 and it connected and dowloaded actual weather in a matter of seconds.

I didn't have any problems at first, installing into my C:\ and a folder of my choice (FSX). Then I began to get freezes and CTD's, Slowly I posted about these issues and I began to get helpful replies; If you experience unwanted FSX behaviour, remember, though it not indicated as a MUST to get UIAutomationcore.dll installed onto your FSX root folder, this file is already present in windows. Mind you do ot confuse the preseent file with the one you download, otherwise you just keep the problem ( Been there, Done that). the file I am using and have used since I changed to windows10 is ver. 6.0.6001.18.000; 31-5-2020 Hope it helps.

Sometimes I add the [CameraDefinition.?] section in the .cfg file of an a/c from my hangar to another a/c to get an interior view; It's just the section of the aircraft.cfg which defines these, the description of the view is normaly described next to the section. Hope this helps. Berlopez

Premier aircraft design has some good twins specially Otters, for free, nice all around except theire VC's, after all they're for free, search for PAD. Here's link: https://www.premaircraft.com/dhc6_FSX/ Or any of the mayor download sites as many of the models have been released there.

Yes aldridgem advice is the best. If there isn't an installer present in the file there are ways to add these files a/c or Scenery to FSX. Berlopez

This topic just got out of my confort zone sorry.

Have you tried downloading and installing a new UIAutomationCore.dll Berlopez

This is true Dazkent I might add the file the file has to be an executable, for it to self install. I'd recommend to install to a TEMP file first and check the contents in there. Berlopez

Good evening Chris, Yes I know my download speed is on the low side. As I wrote before it would be dumb to invest on a better connection now thaat we've sold and are moving a bit North from here later in August, then and there I would invest in a better connection. I tried the FSrealWX settings you reccomended above and went to try them out, preatty much the same. the mayor change is instead of 14 minutes it showed 15 !?..., Then while the Green bar was running I opened the sim which I had minimized to taskbar and the weather had already ALAS! loaded. Thanks for your kind offer of FSRealWXPro Bernardo

You are right Chris there is a 30 day trial period (28 left for me) with FSRealWX3.0. I 'd say for obvious reasons it stops working after that period has expired, as you write FSXWX will continue to work as this program is free. I am not sure or aquianted with FSRealWXPro, or if it changes name after one has purchased it? (20EU) My long loading time is at the beggining of the program when I click on Load Weather Tab and the green bar beggins to run, it says 14 mins.FSXWX took a fraction of the time to load. Almost unnoticeable. All I had to do was to maximize my window to full screen and the weather would be loaded to something very similar to what i could see outside my house windows,considering the closest weather station would be Værløse just some 2 to 2.5 miles from here. I can actually see the radar of the station if I stand on the roof of my house. I too will be away a bit the next few days, for reasons I mentioned before,,(We're moving) so my correspondance will be erratic. I don't know how to check the distance of the weather stations to my aircraft ? My internet Speeds: DWN:13.6 Mbps & Up 0.9 Mbps Thanks for your kind reply Chris: Bernardo

Yes I changed my browser to Chrome thinking it would facilitate my navigating and make it more safe the net, but as you know it blocks almost everything and for us that aren't computer savi, to go and guessplay with all those settings, specially in win10, would be the same to try to design win8 blind folded. Anyway so far I am satisfied with FSRealWXv3.0 weather download picture, but not for the time it takes to download... up to 14 mins.Whereas FSXWX wa inmediate. I still have to check our internet speed, which is a service my wife was offered from her work, so it's not the fastest, We are selling and moving in August so I don't want to invest in something better for this place as I want to benefit from it, there where we move a bit North from here to a flat.

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 v1.1.1.0...Not the new

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.

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
