Although I could not spend any time in further development over the last years, the backend was always up and running, making sure that the latest weather and GRIB data is always available. This server finally got an upgrade, which I used as an opportunity to make some technical adjustments to the FSXWX client.

This means that you have to download and use the latest version 1.6.2 from now on. All former version will not be able to fetch data any more!

Unfortunately, the 64bit versions of P3D broke the compatibility with the FSXWX's direct wind control via FSUIPC offsets. The developer confirmed that and does not plan to revive this possibility. While the weather depiction (i.e. weather stations, clouds, visibility, etc.) are still working, the wind speed and direction cannot be directly controlled any more but are the result of P3D's internal interpolation of surrounding weather stations.

Anyhow, there will be a new P3D version of FSXWX coming soon!

It will contain some mitigations for the lost direct wind control and further cloud and visibility depiction updates to better match the look'n'feel of P3D v4/v5 (incl. trueSKY).
