PFPX Wind Data Uplink

[lbarber 20]

I'm not getting the wind data uplink to work. Hit LSK6R to SEND, get "SENT" prompt, but never get the data. I'm using PFPX and have verified that the XXXXYYYY.wx file is in [FSX]/PMDG/WX. Worked fine last time I flew with the 777, has the format of the file changed at all?

Nope.

I thought the wind data needed to come from ASN or AS16?

As long as the file is there, it could come from you manually transcribing the chart on aviationweather.gov as long as you've formatted it properly. It just won't be updated over time (unless you painstakingly update it by transcribing the charts again).

Rebooted and tried on another leg, seems to work fine now ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
