Topic: WXSIM Stopped working.

[steviebaby59]

My WXSIM stopped importing data. I have restarted my PC and have upgraded to version 8.0 to no avail.

Can anyone help?

Don't know if this is the same issue you're having, but I saw this on the WxSim forum earlier today:

Could be. It just seem like it's not getting new data. I've tried both also. Hope it just fixes itself.
