Real wheather won't update in FSX

[lulu47]

Hello Pete,

 

First I would like to thank you for the fabulous FSUIPC addon that I use since many years now.

 

Since a few weeks I have a problem with FSX real weather update every 15 minutes, my base airport is Brussels (Aerosoft) and the weather doesn't change anymore, it stays on winds 250/5!!!

I don't use any wheather addon, just the FSX weather engine + FSUIPC 4.9.0.0 since a few weeks (before it was an older version of FSUIPC) in which I ticked some options in "winds" and "clouds".  

This appear suddently a few weeks ago on my old computer, since I have a new computer and I made of course a complete reinstallation of FSX Gold Edition (so with Accelaration), using FSUIPC 4.9.0.0 again (since today the 4.9.2.0 version) and the problem stays the same, always winds 250/5 in Brussels! I 've delete all settings made in FSUIPC, clicked on clear all weather, reboot the computer and still no real weather update in FSX! With the older version of FSUIPC (before 4.9.0.0) I never had this problem, so should it be possible that FSUIPC 4.9.0.0 version and the last one version could block the FSX weather engine? do you have maybe the solution?

 

Here is the last FSUIPC log file...

Since a few weeks I have a problem with FSX real weather update every 15 minutes, my base airport is Brussels (Aerosoft) and the weather doesn't change anymore, it stays on winds 250/5!!!

I don't use any wheather addon, just the FSX weather engine

 

FSUIPC has nothing to do with downloading and setting FSX real weather. The most likely thing is that the FSX weather server has closed down. Ask over in the AVSIM FSX forum -- there may still be a few folks trying to use Microsoft's weather.

 

With the older version of FSUIPC (before 4.9.0.0) I never had this problem, so should it be possible that FSUIPC 4.9.0.0 version and the last one version could block the FSX weather engine? do you have maybe the solution?

 

There's not been any changes whatsoever in the weather facilities in FSUIPC4 for FSX. They are minimal in any case. FSUIPC4 is unable to do much at all with FSX weather -- it can help weather programs set and read the weather, but it can do virtually nothing with FSX's own weather downloads. You are assuming wrongly it is anything to do with FSUIPC.

 

It seems quite likely that now, with withdrawal of FSX support for Micxrosoft after 7 years since its release, that they have also withdrawn the weather download service. I don't know because I've never used it, the results of the better weather programs being so much better!

 

Oh, similar outages by Microsoft have been reported from time to time. See for example

http://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/showthread.php?262601-Microsoft-Weather

I really wouldn't be surprised if it disappeared permanently, but maybe this current outage is another temporary one. Ask around.

 

Regards

Pete

Thank you very much for your very quick and complete respons Pete.

It was just to be sure of the cause but it seems indeed that the FSX weather server has closed down, I will check on the AVSIM forum too, and if it's confirmed, make use of REX.

 

Have a nice day
