Pete, first of all i would like to thank you for your quick response. I did some preliminary testing and that seems to confirm your conclusions about unsupported cloud type stratus(3). okay, that is useful information! I didnt realize not all the types were implemented (copied the options as listed in MSFS and figured those were the supported ones.). I will have to check which types are valid and which are not. Then just limit the options I supply to the user. Can you tell me if this is the case for only cloud types or are there other items which aren't (fully) supported (that you know of)? My plan is to set weather directly via MSFS, read out the actual weather via the WeatherSet2 application and spot the differences. (those which MSFS changed from invalid to valid). This should result in a list of all valid and invalid options. I wouldnt expect troubles on the network since it is a very simple setup. All fixed ip, no router/gateway (no internet either!). But I will look into this. Maybe have a check with a network sniffer (etherreal) to see what is going on. Good to know. I'm going to impose restrictions myself to make sure the set is valid. thanks again for your useful and quick response, Sincerely, E. van Nooijen.

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. 20969563 NW_SETEXACT weather command received, ICAO=GLOB 20969735 >NewSet: **** New Weather [4] being set: ICAO=GLOB (Dyn=0) 20969735 >NewSet: Pressure=1013.0, Drift=0.0 (Target=1013.0) 20969735 >NewSet: Visibility: range=1.0sm (1609m) (Target=1.0sm), from=0ft, to=82021ft 20969735 >NewSet: Cloud[0]: type=3, from 0ft to 19685ft (+/- 66ft), cover=7, turb=3, topshape=0 20969735 >NewSet: Precip=2, base=66ft, rate=4, icing=4 20969735 >NewSet: **** End of New Weather details for ICAO=GLOB 20969797 ***ERROR C0000005 at 2112C218 ChainedProcFF (Diag=04000000) 20969797 *** Access violation trying to read address 0000000C 20969797 *** EAX 00000000 EBX 00000001 ECX 0D8D18F0 EDX 0117D418 EDI 0CA55A28 ESI 0CC692E8 20969797 Stack -1 (0920CC20) = 0042CB71, Bad=N 20969797 Stack -2 (19840110) = 00000003, Bad=Y 20969797 Stack -3 (4B434F43) = 20544950, Bad=Y 20975485 Results: FS98 Wind0: ground (-3ft) to 0ft AGL, dir 0M, vel 0, gust 0, turb 0 20990250 Results: FS98 Wind0: ground (0ft) to 0ft AGL, dir 0M, vel 0, gust 0, turb 0 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.
