The normal real-weather mode of FS2004 is fully supported, the 15-minute update is still in test phase and Can cause short breaks during flight. The 15-minute updates will not be stored locally. GetWeather is a server program for Microsoft Flightsimulator 2000, 2002 and 2004. The program communicates with the Flightsimulator using the build in "Real-World-Weather" function.
The main features are:storing downloaded weather scenarios on hard disk for later reuse of stored weather data. To do so GetWeather gets into the connection between the Flightsimulator and the weather server at Jeppesen which provides the real weather data. Every time the "Real-World-Weather" is used in the Flightsimulator it will communicate with GetWeather.
As a result it is not necessary to connect to the internet every time you would like to get a new weather. You may just get a already existing file from the GetWeather server which may run somewhere on your local network or on your own computer. And you are ready to fly a bumpy approach ...
You can also download the latest real weather from the internet and GetWeather will save the data for later reuse on your local computer. Furthermore you can download the weather files within GetWeather without starting even your flightsimulator. That's a great feature if you just noticed a severe weather alert and would like to have this situation for later fun.
Get Weather is able to serve as many Flightsimulators as you wish. It is the perfect tool to provide the same weather for all computers in a multiplayer environment. Download it once and all other clients just have to connect via the local network.
