• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Not much to go on here. Have you tried other lat,long numbers hard coded.

Also did you read this - assume yes:


The exception SIMCONNECT_EXCEPTION_WEATHER_UNABLE_TO_GET_OBSERVATION is returned in a number of cases, including that the station provided as a parameter does not exist. However there is one case where this exception is returned that a client should not treat as an error, and that is when the weather station does not have any valid data to return because it has not been recently updated with its current weather. In this case a client could keep polling for a weather observation until a valid metar string is returned. This could take 10 seconds or more, as there are certain situations when a user can reset the weather through the UI that clears many of the weather stations of their current weather, and it takes some time for the weather engine to regenerate all the weather settings.
