Author problems loading weather
Marcel Kuijper

2005-03-28, 6:11 pm


I have a good DSL connection (better than good actually) and websites and
such load just fine, but Real Weather doesn't want to load.

Anyone else having this problem?

Hi Marcel,
This may not be your problem, but I have found that I need to have the
connection made before firing up the sim and then real weather is no
problem. Trying to log on initially from within the sim does not work.
HTH

Cheers,

Quilly

Hi Studmuffin,

"(You've got clearance, Clarence. Roger, Roger. What's our vector,

Kills me, every time, mate! :-))

I haven't tried Real Weather yet, but maybe there's a setting to control
the frequency of the updates?

John Ward

Yeah me too. I friggin' love that film!
Fantastic dialogues, eh?

"How long 'till we land?"
"I....I can't tell."
"You can tell me! I'm a doctor!"
"Well...not for another two hours."
"You can't tell me for another two hours?"
"No I mean we can't land for another two hours."

or

"Surely you can't be serious?"
"I am serious. And don't call me Shirley!"

or

"Say Joey...have you ever been in a Turkish prison?"

or

"The HOSPITAL?? What is it?"
"It's a big building with patients, but that's not important right now!"

or (and to me it's the best opening to a movie in history)


M-speaker: "The red zone is for immediate loading and unloading of
passengers. There's no stopping in the white zone."

F-speaker: "No. The white zone is for loading and unloading. And there
is no stopping in the RED zone."

M-speaker: "The red zone has always been for loading and unloading. There's
never stopping in a WHITE zone."

F-speaker: "Don't tell me which zone is for stopping and which zone is for
loading."

M-speaker: "Listen, Betty. Don't start up with your white-zone shit again!
There's just no stopping in a white zone"

F-speaker: "Oh really, Vernon? Why pretend? We both know perfectly well
what it is you're talking about. You want me to have an abortion."

M-speaker: "It's really the only sensible thing to do. If it's done
properly, therapeutically, there's no danger invloved!"


Ya think I've seen that movie too often, John? ;-))

No, there was a hick-up somewhere at the weather servers. It seems to be
working again now.

Hi Studmuffin,

ROTFL!! :-))

That's going to be the first DVD I buy, now that I'm about to have a DVD
player, for the first time, in the new PC!!

After that, I'm going to bug you about other ones to get. :-))
