If you are seeing X01 files and still not seeing weather in FliteDeck, continue with the
next question.
Are the weather files being cached in JWC's XMWeather folder?
After XmLink collects the weather data from the weather receiver and places it in the
XmLink data folder, the Jeppesen Weather Controller (JWC) collects the XmLink data
and caches it in its own folder that FliteDeck uses.
• For Windows 2000 and XP, the JWC folder resides in the same location as the
FliteDeck folder on the user's hard drive. For instance, you installed FliteDeck
in the default location (C:\Jeppesen\FliteDeck3), the JWC folder will be
located at C:\Jeppesen\JWC.
• For Windows Vista, the data resides in the
C:\ProgramData\Jeppesen\JWC\XMWeather
folder.
Browse to the JWC folder, and open the XMWeather folder. If you are collecting
weather information, you should see a variety of weather folders (cloud tops,
freezing, METARs, radar, and so on). If the weather folders are available, check the
date and time the folder was last modified. If the data is more than 30 minutes old:
1. Close XmLink (do not minimize).
2. Open the Services Console by using one of the following methods:
A. Click Start > Run, and enter services.msc, and then click OK.
B. Click Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools, and then double-click
Services.
C. Click Start > Control Panel > Performance and Maintenance >
Administrative Tools, and then double-click Services.
3. Right-click Jeppesen Weather Controller Services and choose Stop from
the shortcut menu.
4. Delete all the contents in the XMWeather folder.
5. In the Services Console, right-click Jeppesen Weather Controller Services
and choose Start from the shortcut menu.
6. Configure your receiver with XmLink.
7. In the Services Console, click File > Close.
It will take approximately five to seven minutes for weather data to start appearing
in FliteDeck.
Is there a satellite signal?
To determine if you are receiving satellite weather, open XmLink. When XmLink
starts, and when it is minimized, its task bar button is removed and only the double
headed arrow icon is shown in the system tray (near the time display). To display
the XmLink main screen, do either of the following:
• Double-click the XmLink icon on your desktop or in the system tray.>
