I currently have 3 versions of FG installed: 2018.2.2, 2018.3.3 and 2019.2.0
All three have unlimited access granted by my firewall.
Live weather used to work fine with 2018.2.2 until the NOAA-server-URL changed.
Installing 2018.3.3 and 2019.2.0 left this problem unsolved (at least on my machine).
Only meddling with the fgfs.exe and a hex editor led to live weather working in 2018.2.2 and 2018.3.3 (thx to V12
).
2019.2.0 won't even start with the altered exe-file.
As a side note:
The link contained in fgfs.exe is
- Code (): Select all
https://tgftp.nws.noaa.gov/data/observations/metar/stations/[station].TXT
in 2019.2.0 whereas it is
- Code (): Select all
http://tgftp.nws.noaa.gov/data/observations/metar/stations
in the two older versions.
All I can say is that network access for any FG version is not an issue on my machine.
The problem could indeed have to do with the connection to the NOAA-server or an https-connection in general.
