- what FlightGear version do you use?
- what graphics card do you have?
- does the problem occur with any aircraft, at any airport?
- where did you download your aircraft/scenery from?
- is there any output printed to the console (black window)?

Please report any bugs not specific to an aircraft on the issue tracker.
To run FlightGear on old computers with bad OpenGL support, please take a look at this wiki article.

This is due to the NOAA changed URL for weather.

KL-666 has created a fix for Windows for versions (2016.1.1 and later) HERE
IAHM-COL has created a script to fix this on Linux. (2016.1.1 and later) HERE

On Mac, there is not a solution except to update to the 2016.3.0 version, not released yet, still in progress.

Good luck,
