Well thanks a lot, it works perfectly now, it downloads the GRIB data before the Metar as i can see on the Spy window, which wasn't the case before. I'm all set to go now, you made my day, thank you so much. Happy Holidays to all of you

You're welcome, i don't know why my Simconnect became corrupted after uninstalling OpusFSX though... Sorry to bother you a little more, but back to why i uninstalled opus is the fact that i can't manage to have GRIB data loaded... I'm running fsx and stay on the ground while the weather updates : i get the local weather just fine and it's accurate, but when i look at the reports for lower and upper atmosphere, i get the "No Data available at present" message. I opened the Spy window but it doesn't say anything special. All my options are set to default and the "Stabilized GRIB" is uncheked...I get winds aloft but they're not GRIB, so very innacurate... (like 100 degrees off the real winds). Thanks Again, Gaston

Thanks a lot for you quick release of a new beta. I think the problem was not linked to the popup, because when i still had my FSXSERVER.DAT and FSXSERVERCFG.DAT files inside the opus folder, the popup didn't show (because it knew where fsx was), but i had the problem of the main server windows appearing for just a tenth of a second and then closing. This happened with AND WITHOUT the popup showing. What's even stranger is that OpusFSX wouldn't start but the FSXSERVER.exe process was still showing on the task manager and was impossible to stop. The only way was to reboot the computer, but even then : the main server windows would show and close instantly (without the sim location popup)...

Thank you both Stephen and Cheryl, i just rebooted my computer and it works. I already rebooted after reinstalling OpusFSX but not after reinstalling SimConnect. So i think the problem probably came from simconnect. What's strange is that it only appeared after reinstalling OpusFSX, so during the uninstall and new install of Opus, some files of simconnect must have been removed or corrupted... But a reinstall of Simconnect AND a reboot after that seems to work. So if anybody else come across this issue, just uninstall and reinstall Simconnect, and don't forget to reboot. Thanks again to both Stephen and Cheryl for your quick and precious help, and for your awesome piece of software.

I ran OpusFSX without FSX running, clicked ok and waited, but the Server form appears and closes instantly , so i can't open the Config dialog and browse to the sim folder, because the main server window doesn't show. It pops up only for maybe a tenth of a second and then closes, i can barely see it pop. There must be something blocking the FSXSERVER.exe but i don't know why, i didn't change anything from my previous install...

Done, i deleted FSXSERVERCFG.DAT, but now i get the "Flight Simulator Installation folder not specified" popup, and the FSXSERVER.exe now closes instantly instead of hanging. I managed to uninstall and reinstall SimConnect with the .msi you provided but the only change i see is that OpusFSX start, i get the popup and then instantly closes before i even see the main window... My Antivirus is avast but i deactivated it so i can solve the problem without being bothered. (It worked well till yesterday even with Avast installed...). So just a little improvement but i still can't run OpusFSX.

I always launch OpusFSX before FSX is running, i just tried with and without fsx running and the problem is still here. I run FSXSERVER from my C:\OpusFSX folder. Also tried installing SimConnect using your supplied msi file, but it won't launch either... I followed all the steps of the "Getting Started" guide once again, and no change... Is there a way to uninstall Simconnect ?

Hello Stephen, Thanks for your quick reply. I uninstalled using Control Panel as recommended, and installed again using the Flight1 program. I unwrapped the Opusfsx.msi installer in C:. Because it didn't work better after that (fsxserver still wouldn't start), i uninstalled again using the Control Panel and downloaded the upgrade version from your website and installed it. Same problem. I saw a post earlier on the forum with users having the same problem (fsxserver would close instantly and you can't even remove the process from the ctrl alt del menu). For the Grib data i imported a flt pln and specified a cruise alt of 36000ft. But i never check on the ground if it's working and i read once you're in flight it's too late so i'll try to open the spy and look at my fsdecoder as you told me. This, as soon as i manage to get my OpusFSX working again. I just uninstalled it all over again, using the control panel. Deleted the complete OpusFSX folder AND the OpusSoftware. Also removed any entry that was left in the registry. Launched the Flight1 software which created a new OpusSoftware folder with a .lic file. I then downloaded and installed the latest release 3.38.6, but still no luck... When i click fsxserver, i see the circle on my mouse saying it's loading, but the windows never comes up, it just hangs there.

Hi everyone, After having installed OpusFSX on my new computer for about a week, i started to do long haul flights and noticed the upper level winds / temperatures were not accurate at all, and even sometimes the complete opposite of what the real winds were. Reading the forums a little i found it was because the program didn't download the GRIB data... I had it on my old computer and it worked fine with winds extremely precise and accurate (congrats for this amazing software by the way). I still don't know why it didn't download the GRIB data, even after putting all the options to default etc... The weather on the ground is fine and accurate, i juste have problems with the Grib weather. But that's not the main reason of my post : to try and solve the problem, i uninstalled Opus and reinstalled it. But now, when i click on "FSXSERVER.exe", it won't start... i see the window popping for about 0.0001 sec, and then closing. I spent my afternoon trying everything, but nothing seems to work. It was uninstalled correctly, it's installed in C:\OpusFSX , i followed every recommandation in your guide and on the forums, i always run it as admin, i have sharing and permissions on C: and fsx. I stopped my antivirus. Thanks a lot for your time and help. Best Regards, Gaston W.
