FS2004 Pauses When Real World Weather Won't Download

[Andrew Watson]

When FS2004 is set to download real world weather at 15-minute intervals, if
the program cannot connect to the Jeppesen weather server to download data
an error window pops up and FS2004 pauses till OK is clicked to close the
window.

Why a pause has been programmed for this error I don't know. The sim should
just keep going as the error is not critical to gameplay.

Other that flying with stock or user-defined weather situations, is there a
way to avoid FS2004 pausing when this window is open?

You don't have a firewall blocking net access during game play do you?
