I am getting a message from FSX saying the generate real-world weather function is not available. My internet connection is fine. Anyone else experiencing same? I am using the Steam version of FSX.

The only way to get real world weather for FSX is through a third party weather app. There are freeware and payware options available. The real world weather that was originally a feature in FSX expired some time ago.

As Michael points out, there are both freeware and payware options. For freeware, check out FSXWX at http://www.plane-pics.de/fsxwx/home.htm For payware, either Active Sky 16 at https://hifisimtech.com/ or REX Sky Force 3D at http://www.rexsimulations.com/skyforce.html

I believe that if you fly on VATSIM, they serve you the real world weather for your flight.

Thanks everyone, will try the freeware suggestion first.
