Can't load weather

[mattc]

Hi All,

I've been away from PSX for a year or so but notice today I can't download any real weather.  On the weather page, when I tick the box to 'set zones by flight track...' it then says 'Disk: 0.0nm/0.0m 01 JAN 1970 (next: STBY).

Here's my default perf file. What have I done wrong?

Hi,

in February 2019 the NOAA website URL changed from http to https that requires a new security certificate that is only included in Java 8 Update 201 or higher. You probably have a lower Java version.

You can download Java 8 Update 201 (or higher) here:

https://www.java.com/en/download/

Your MetarUrl in your PSX version 10.85 is already set to the new correct URL.
