The real time weather download fails using X-plane 11.3 and your 172 airplane.

Question

Since the 11.3 update x-plane real time weather fails to download while using the x-plane Skyhawk 172 and maybe all other aircraft.. just have not been able to use real time weather for weeks.

Comments

I having the exact same issue with all aircraft. Log.txt states the following:

However navigating to the sites through a browser, all sites are reachable and it correctly downloads the information.

Answer 1

I have been through the same situation.

I have seen somewhere else that x-plane 11 has issues with a new noaa weather format, but just that.

X-Plane does not tell us any solution either or what is happening with this issue.
