2017-02-03 20:42:52 - Wx Inspector temporary solution
SOL Tech Gurus are working hard to get SOL Wx Inspector on server again. In the meantime, as temporary solution and the First Aid, here is version of this tool to be stored and run on your PC.
You can download and use it until (soon!) the on-line version will be available.

Here's how it goes:

1) Download files
2) RTFM*
3) May force be with you!

FW!

* - for meaning of this, ask some technician. This is a polite Forum! (as clue: RTFM-error is the most common error on the Planet :-)

windows 10:
Works fine if I configure 'flash player' before starting the "weather inspector"

In my (and i think in your) configuration screen is
flash player(32 bits). Double-click this.
Now follow the instructions in your word document.

Now it works in windows 10 too.

Many thanks...BUT, I cannot choose a race to enter--it needs me to make a choice but the choice slot is empty, so I cannot proceed any further. Has anyone tested this?
It may be important to note that I am using Windows 10, with it's new "Edge" program. Will it work with Chrome or Firefox, which I will need to retrieve from "the dustbin of history"?

If it breaks, it's not strong enough--if it doesn't, it's too heavy.

Thanks Rod. I've heard from others having this problem as well. It seems to be a cache problem.

You can clear your cache, or do the following:
Go to these three pages and hit refresh (which should force chrome to update its cache):
http://node1.sailonline.org/crossdomain.xml

http://www.sailonline.org/crossdomain.xml

http://sailonline.org/crossdomain.xml

For all three pages you should see a line containing "solfans.org", if not you are looking at an old, cached version.

Thanks SimeMali, Javakeda for the recent help in solving the winx issues. It is the only tool I use while playing this game unless my alarm, calculator, pencil and paper count. Good stuff!

Refresh page, e.i. click on circular arrow left to address bar (Reload this page) while .xml is open. It should reload page and add:

'<allow-access-from domain="*.solfans.org"/>'


Sorry, after have posted I saw that you ask for Firefox. There try to clean local Flash storage:
open Wx Inspector page->right click anywhere on map->Global Settings->Local Storage Settings by Site->select and remove 'solfans.org'->close settings and reload page.

You can clear Firefox cache and stored content:
Options->Advanced->Network
