FSX Steam

[Falcon]

I have used FSX for years, beginning there in my flight sim life. Well real ones first, but I regress. Recently FSX program has undergone such a different program on my computer as I have added an extensively amount of addons. It has finally got to the point where it runs maybe 5 minutes and shuts down. At any rate, I have loaded FSX Steam parallel install directly under C: as I am transferring files, planes, scenery, and stuff that I know is safe and not causing the problems. Here is the issue. My Real Weather addon program will not recognize FSX Steam. it is a freeware FSrealWXlite.
Is there any other free real weather program out there that works on Steam? even payware?
thanks guys, It will take forever to get it up and running like my old FSX install, as that program is holding 150gig of disc space

Not sure if this helps, but have you put the directory for FSX on the same hard drive?? It could be that FSrealWXlite is seeing the old FSX in the registry? Maybe a full uninstall of FSrealWXlite and reinstall might help? Or maybe in its set up you can point it to the new FSX directory??

Yes Tony I believe that is exactly what is happening. Even the new trial version of the payware will read that steam is there but will not connect. I think I have to be patient until I've did a clean uninstall on FSX and then load the weather programs. Thanks for confirming what I thought about last night when I couldn't get to sleep. LOL

Well Tony was spot on. Once I copied everything I wanted out of FSX, installed the disc 1 and ran uninstall to get a clean uninstall, my free weather program works amazingly well. I should have screenshotted the lightning in Toronto the other day. Thanks Tony.
