Question for the hive mind: using RealWXLite and working great until yesterday. Fired up FS9, fired up RWx, Rwx downloaded the weather and showed connection via FSUIPC, and then instead of sending the weather to FS, gave me a message "waiting for FS". Obviously connected to FS via FSUIPC. Hit all the buttons on RWx..nothing. Restarted both programs, restarted the computer, I even did a restore point...same result. Any suggestions?  Mike |

Mike I had exactly the same issue here in the UK yesterday, it just said error when it was downloading the WX and I did what you tried with no success. I assumed it was me but maybe its an issue with the program?

Thanks Tony, I had the option set to check for updates, I wonder if an update happened and it broke itself?? Glad to know I'm not the only one...misery loves company, heh?  Mike |

I just registered with the RealWX support forum, and there are numerous bug reports of the same issue...so a problem with the program itself.

For what it might be worth, I experienced the same issues but tried the NOAA feed instead of VATSIM. It worked but is darn slow although still better than no weather at all.

I just went to their website to see if anything new has happened on this bug, and their website is broken in a number of places....not a good sign.
I'll try the NOAA download and see what happens, but I don't understand how that is related to the "waiting for FS' message.

The NOAA download worked, but as Chris said, is VERY slow in terms of writing stations. Something must have changed in the VATSIM data...Oh well, I can live with it for now.

Final word on this from the developer via the support forum: he said that the code for FSrealWXLite is broken and he won't fix it. He said to start using FSRealWX Pro. I'm not sure if that is payware or not and I haven't tried it. So there we go.....  Mike |

If you're okay with couple clicks to manually update weather than FSMetar + Metar DL is an option.

I thought the real weather in FS would not work anymore?

I heard/read something along those lines too .... but it might have been "FS version" specific.
I didn't pay too much attention to it all at the time as I don't use it.

Tony,
My FSRealWX Lite works OK with the NOAA data, just very slow and sometimes has an error writing stations.
