Hi, welcome.

The server's fine, I just connected in my sim. Assuming that your internet connection is working ok, you might want to check the relevant entry in the fs9.cfg file (make a backup first):

In
[weather]

the entries in mine are

WeatherServerAddress=fs2k.zone.com
WeatherServerPort=80
WeatherGraphDataInDialog=0
DynamicWeather=2
LOADWEATHER=1

and they work fine. Has this only just started happening?

;)

No, It's always done it. Sometimes more often than others.   AL

Open fs9.exe as an exception in your firewall so it can get data out and back in.  Open the router tha same way.

best,
