Game Forum / Simulators / Aviation Simulators / May 2007Problems with FS9 when trying to download real world weather
When starting FS9 and trying to down load real world weather, the program just closes (crashes). Does anyone have any idea why this would be happening? The program was working fine a few months ago and have only updated my computer with Window updates and Virus Scan updates. Would appreciate any help.

Thank you Is any of your protective software shutting down the program when it attempts to access the Internet? Check your security settings. Thanks for the response. I have checked all of my Firewall settings and they have not changed since the last time i was able to load the real world weather. If you have a specific setting that i should check, please let me know. I am running McAfee Virus Security Center with firewall and virus only. I have also checked my router settings and they all seem to be ok. >> When starting FS9 and trying to down load real world weather, the >> program just closes (crashes).

Check your security settings. Hi All, I just want to thank all of you for your responses. I greatly appreciate it. I will keep the thread open. I will give it a few days and see if it corrects itself. Thanks again and happy flying >Thanks for the response.

I have had the same problem over the last few days with FSX after having run it successfully for a couple of months, so I suspect that there may be a problem at the weather server end, not on our computers. OK, now it's running fine here in Spain too! Thank G-d, seems it was on Jepessen's side. I'll still monitor the situation, though Cheers, Alek Hi, Its now running ok in the USA also. I just checked it tonight and it is working. I will do the same and monitor it >OK, now it's running fine here in Spain too! Thank G-d, seems it was >on Jepessen's side.

The weather was so bad, that the FAA said it was unsafe to fly, so they just shut down the a/c for you. See! They are a caring bunch!;-) Crash Lander  Signaturehttp://straightandlevel1973.spaces.live.com/ I'm not always right, But I'm never wrong! > OK, now it's running fine here in Spain too!

I could not get it to work with FS2002 or FS9 tonight (May 28). Both flight sims would download the weather and then lock up and crash to desktop when they tried to load the weather into the flight sim.

Would appreciate any help. Thank you Thats happened before during a bad electrical storm over in Seattle. But, I had flown this morning and also did some things this afternoon and I didn't have a problem using real weather. There is another that you can use thats also freeware. The Metar Program thats available on the www.msfsgateway.com is very good. Go to the main menu bar and look around. Not4wood >I think the problem is with the real world weather server.

It starts to load and then the program crashes to the desktop. >I think the problem is with the real world weather server. Was working >fine two days ago.

Thank you Same problem here: I've tried from different locations, USA and Europe, and either it crashes directly to the desktop or I get an error message telling that msvcr70.dll has crashed. Your message comforts me because I installed a couple of add-ons this morning and worried that one of them might have messed with my system. Besides the in-built weather feature, I also use Active Sky 6.5 that seems quite slower to load data today as it does usually, so there must be a weather server problem somewhere... but at least not on our PCs. :-) Same is happening to me. FS9 crashes upon attempt to connect to real weather. 4 days ago it was running fine. I think it will solve by itself. Let's keep the thread running, just in case.

Ditto Best way around it is to use a proxy program like FSMetar154.zip which is free and can attach to Vatsim, IVAO or the North American servers to d/l weather as opposed to MS default which looks to Jeppeson. The above prog can be got from http://personal.telefonica.terra.es/web/fsmetar/ and possibly the major FS outlets. BTW if you run Vista (which I do) it will not run on the vista machine. I have it running networked from an old XP laptop. > Same is happening to me. FS9 crashes upon attempt to connect to real > weather. 4 days ago it was running fine.

Hi, I am glad i am not the only one getting this issue. I will keep this thread open..and kind regards to you also. Thanks for your reply. >Same is happening to me.

Same problem here - weather file is downloaded just fine, but importing into FS make it crash. I've tried both direct update and with GetWeather, both ended with same results. Since this problem is quite wide (as seen here), my guess is that problem lies within weather files. Regards, Hrvoje And just to inform that the problem is still present. There is simply NO WAY to load the wx, I have made all the pertinent checks, to no avail. I wonder if I will ever be able to load it again. Without it, life and simulation itself has no meaning. Pretty annoying. Best regards, Alek If someone succeeds loading it, please notify. ilguy59@hotmail.com schrieb: Here in germany is again all okay with the download and import from the real weather!

They all pull the weather from the same servers, AFAIK. |
