I tried to launch weatherstar xl and even had TWCKodster try to run it and both were unsuccessful, can we get a system reset?

as a recommendation.. disable all extra packages except for Local Forecast, and test from there. it is known that Airport is not functioning right now because of data source. try that and see if that helps.

Yes.. Actually what has happened is the classic maps utilized in that package from Intellicast have vanished from existence. The error you're getting is because it cannot download them. In the mean time, keep the package off, and we'll have to find a new source. Specifically, the maps that went offline were the Water Temperatures, and Wave Heights (continental USA maps, for both).

Anyone know when this might be fixed?

Can you adjust the beach and boat forecast just not to have those two maps?

Title: Re: Down?

Even without those two big maps there is still plenty of information that’s good for boat and beach

Technically, yes but its not easy because the frame manager is written in such a way to expect frames to be played back in a certain way. Let's try and find a source for the maps before writing them off completely.
