Hi, since a week or so, I can't use FSMetar. Everytime I try, the only answer is "Metars Download Failed", on all three servers (IVAO, VATSIM and NOAA). I've downloaded the latest FSMetar version and reinstalled, I've downloaded and reinstalled the latest FSUIPC version, but no success. havin googled, but nobody reported actual this problem, only very old posts from 5 or 6 years ago. I am using FS9 on XP prof. and had have good experience with FSMetar for many, many years. Has anybody actual the same Problem, Or is it possibly a failure in my system?
thanks MM

Same thing happened to me but I found a fix over at the FilightSim forums. Open your FSMetar.ini with a text editor like Notepad or Wordpad; Find the lines VatsimURL = and VatsimOnline = ; Edit these lines to read: VatsimURL = metar.vatsim.net/data/metar.php?id=ALLVatsimOnline=http://metar.vatsim.net/data/metar.php?id= Save and close. This worked for me. The relevant thread is here, see Reply #8 Something has happened to my FS MetarGood Luck. Chris

Chris, Thank you for this tip. I changed the Vatsim URLs and now, at least, Vatsim works again!
