== Known problems == | |||
Though working perfectly for years, the "live weather" feature in FlightGear 1.9.x and 2.0 is now broken. Unfortunaltey, the FlightGear code of past releases contains minor problem which so far remained undetected and without effect. Since early November, probably caused by a server upgrade at the weather services, the FlightGear weather requests are now being rejected due to this problem. To revive live weather you have the following options: | |||
* As a workaround, configure a proxy-server on the fgfs command-line. Relaying the request through a proxy solves the issue (see [http://www.flightgear.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=10002 forum topic]). | |||
* Experts being able to patch and recompile FlightGear may try to apply a patch (also see forum). | |||
* Developers can use FlightGear's latest developer version from GIT, which already contains the required bugfix. | |||
* Otherwise please stick with manual weather configuration and wait for the next FlightGear release (won't be too long). | |||
