I use active sky for weather which also downloads weather as it is but sounds like an internet connection to me.

I had the same problem yesterday, guess the server was down.

My internet connection is working very well and I am still having this problem. Does active sky cost? And how do you download it onto flight simulation?

I'm having the same problem. I thought it had to do with my anti virus program, but I guess it doesn't. I sure hope it's a problem with the server.

Yeah Ive seen that active sky price, but I thought I could find one for free but guess not. Anyways Vegas Flyer, it happened before and it took atleast a day and it came back on, but it is a system problem everyone is having.

The actual site FS9 uses is down, and has been for several days. I tried getting into it manually through the Internet, but it doesn't appear. Hence why you can't download anything.

I would have thought Microsoft would do something about it.

I guess I'll take off, too. It doesn't look promising at this time that will have the weather up and running soon.

It's working, but not working correctly, it's only downloading surface weather, the winds aloft are calm everywhere.

Yeah it is finally back up now. But yeah I can't believe that microsoft would go down like that.
