Mine's working perfectly. What's wrong with yours? Can you discribe the problem a little more in detail [ie: how it first started, error messages, etc.]?

Happening to me also. It's probably a Microsoft problem and will sort itself out.

Did you setup your firewall to allow FSX to gain internet access?

I believe the weather site is temporarily offline. Someone else posted about this last night but the topic seems to have disappeared.

Download FSMetar so you have an alternative when fs2k.zone.com is
down. It doesn't happen often but when it does just open FSMetar
and then FS9 or FSX...no CFG changes needed. It's seamless.
