Does anyone use this program? I just downloaded, and i'm trying to get it to work properly, but whenever I download the weather and click on 'start', the program crashes. Any ideas?

I don't know about your problem but I use ActiveSKy6 which is a payware and it decodes the METAR to the location your at in FS9 or the route your going to do plus it includes custom clouds too.

Did you try emailing the author?

Nevermind. I found a newer version, downloaded some required files, and it now works. The weather around Alaska now sucks, just like it should ;D

Should make flying much more interesting...

Alpha, it's FSMetar, and it downloads Metar and the winds aloft reports.

Here's the website

Read the manual, because there are required files you might have to download
