Real World Weather.

Is Real world weather site down for fs2004. everytime I try to use it it said Unable to connect?

Seems to be working fine for me.

Try the usual:

Firewall settings
Security settings
If you're using anti-virus software, check it's firewall settings

Are you using FSUIPC?  It controls some connections for the weather generator in FS, if it's registered.

FSUIPC? not sure what tha means.

It always worked before. then when i got back from the hospital it stoped

Perhaps the doc's removed it because it's signals might interfere with your health?

FSUIPC is a module that interfaces with FS to provide extra control over the system that runs FS, and smooth or allow interfaces between FS and exterior programs that effect it.  Those are some of the minor things it can do.  It's actually a very powerful little module, which is required by some addons.  If I were you, I'd go ahead and get it just to be on the safe side.  It will work even if you don't register it ($), and might actually fix your problem.  I'm not sure on that.

Make sure you get the correct version!  Click on the blue lettering saying "FSUIPC 3.90".  After you download it, drop the module into your "Modules" folder in FS.  That's it!

Other than that, I can't see why it wouldn't work.

Regarding weather. I am fairly new with FS9 and FS generally and have not been able to find how to generate winds on "create a flight". I have noticed much discussion on crosswind landings so there's something I've missed.  I have looked through the learning center several times  but can't locate any directions on how to generate winds. My settings are at  most difficult.  Appreciate any guidance on this.

Gentlemen: Thanks very much for the guidance. I missed "customize" and you've solved  the problem. Thanks again.
