Hi guys,

 

Exactly what it says on the tin!

 

Are there any real world weather add-ons that still support/work with FS9?

 

I've pretty much drawn a blank on all the old ones I used to use and despise the Squawkbox weather!!

 

Any help/info greatly appreciated,

 

Thanks in advance.

It's been many many years -- probably 11 or so -- since I used FS9, but off the top of my head check into FSRealWX (freeware) or ActiveSky Evolution or FSGRW (both payware).

 

And in my opinion please don't try to use SquawkBox weather. It's garbage.

Hi Chris,

 

I suggest you purchase FSGRW. Although made in Austria, it is the "Swiss Army Knife" for weather, because it works with FS9, FSX, P3D and X-Plane. So even if you decide to switch SIMs at some point, you will still be in business with FSGRW. I have been using FS9 earlier this year before I bought a new computer and switched to X-Plane 11.

I use FS9.I got FSGRW simply because you can use it in multiple sims, and I am happy with it.

100% agree with the posts for FSGRW. I got it earlier this year for FS9 and I hope it will work for some time as it is excellent.

I have been using Activesky Evolution for about 4 years with FS9 but it will not load for me anymore. The problem started just about January 3. I have been using Vatsim weather but I guess changes are in the near future for me. I was going to re-load FSE but it seems not to be available anymore.

I do not see an option to re-install the program ASE, only upgrade options on the site.

Where did you originally purchase ASE? I got it on SimMarket and the download is available after logging in to the site. If you got it directly from HiFi, you can email them or check the support forum and they can probably help out. I used it yesterday and everything (including the weather server) seemed to be working normally.

I got it from Hi-Fi so I will email them. I still have my key code. I am glad to know it is still a working platform for FS9, thank you.

Daniel, I was able to re-load ASE after going back to Simmarket where my download history is stored. Thanks for the info.
