Running v2.0.5.493.  I connect to FSX over the network using SimConnect, moving map works well.  I want to be able to see the weather along the way but especailly at the destination airport.  When I open the Weather Data Expander, "Flight Plan Route Weather" is empty but the column headings are there.....Station, Timer At, etc.  The Nearest Weather Station just above it shows the weather of the origin airport (KATL).  In the File | Options, all 3 weather options are checked.  What else do I need to do to see weather along the way and destination airport ?

Thanks

Can you check the log? It should show any weather calls to FS, and if any errors are returned.

There are several entries with the word "weather", I don't see anything suggesting an error, what specifically am I looking for ?  Below is a typical "weather" entry in the log.

Tim,

I determined the problem.  I had thought that Plan-G retrieves weather AND flightplan waypoint data directly and exclusively from FSX if flight planning is not done in Plan-G but I guess this is not the case.  The flight plan must be loaded to Plan-G anyway so now weather data for the destination airport is visible.  The KATL weather data I was seeing prior to loading the flight plan was because it was the nearest station and not because this was also the origin airport....my misunderstanding.
