Pete,
We've got an issue with setting weather via the New Weather Interface (NWI) in Microsoft FlightSim 2004 (COF).
When weather is set via NWI & FSUIPC the flightsim crashes within a few minutes.
Our setup consists of;
1 pc running MSFS+fsuipc+WideServer
5 pcs running WideClient and the Glass Cockpit (2), the CDU (2) and the EICAS
1 pc running WideClient and our software to control/interface with MSFS and ProjectMagenta
All WideClient versions are 6.470
The WideServer version is 6.47
The FSUIPC version is 3.48
All machines run WindowsXP.
In the WideServer logfile I sometimes see this message. (The length is not always 25)
334907 **** ERROR! Sumcheck or length fails on received socket 2388 block, len=25 (time=22831891)
In the FSUIPC logfile I sometimes see this message.

Please note that the log entries mentioned above dont occur with every crash, sometimes I get only one, sometimes none, sometimes both. Also note that the WideServer logfile and FSUIPC logfile from which these logs are taken are not from the same MSFS run.
If you need more information I'd be happy to supply that... (I could mail some code snippets if that is useful).
I hope you can help us with this, because we are out of options.
sincerely,
E van Nooijen.
PS. Setting weather via the (advanced) weather interface within MSFS works fine.
