Real World Weather Crashes FS9
I've been using real world weather with 15 min updates for over a year now with no problems what so ever. My system was down for hardware and lack of free time for the last couple of months and I just got it working again.
Now I have this problem of real-world weather updates (both one-time and 15min) crashing my system. I get the first dialog of downloading the Jeppeson weather and then the second dialog ?Loading weather? crashes FS. If I choose custom WX every thing is fine. If I choose a WX theme everything is fine.
Before I pony up some cash for ActiveSky I'd like to try to fix the problem!
I have not made any system changes except updateing my versions of Project Magenta.

When I tried using FS9 real weather updates, FS9 almost always froze in the middle of loading the weather. Sometimes I had to kill FS9 several times before it would finally come up. Once it came up though, it worked OK.
Anyway, I switched to ActiveSky and that is working flawlessly for me. It really impresse med once when I wanted to fly out of Toronto (I live about 60 km NE of the airport). I started FS9 and I was surprised by the thunder & lightning at the Toronto airport (all was calm where I was). 10 minutes later, the sky opened up and all **** broke loose. So, ActiveSky does work really well in my opinion

Jeppesen's server is down it has been reported.
Supposed to be back up in 24hr or so. I don't know when it went down so I don't know when the 24 hours are up.
This was reported on several other sim sites.Boeing Skunk Works
Remember...140, 250, and REALLY FAST!
We don't need no stinkin' ETOPS!
