srcooke 422 Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 PFPX weather service continues, whilst the integrated Topcat function will populate the PFPX weather it does not do so in the stand alone application. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe that is correct Michael, it merely requires a URL update within the program as have others that have them embedded.

GodAtum 2 Posted August 28, 2016 Author Share Posted August 28, 2016 So how do I fix the weather for PFPX and Topcat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf0 35 Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Hello, I'd also like to know how to update the links to the new servers. TOPCAT is now almost useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srcooke 422 Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Topcat is not useless, use either the IVAO option or link to ActiveSky if you use it. Data can also be entered manually. You cannot update the Topcat NOAA link as it is embedded. PFPX is unaffected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlightSimSoft.com 283 Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 There will be a new TOPCAT version in the next few days which solves the weather source change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf0 35 Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Great news. It's good to see TOPCAT still being maintained after such a long pause. Is there any chance to release the update for PFPX also on the next few days? At least a fix for the "can't send data to TOPCAT" message (I know the data gets sent, I just really hate the message!)
