Man, I can't begin to describe the excitement I have over this project! Hey, what can I say - I'm an ex bush pilot turned Climatologist - naturally weather is going to be a biggie with me in FS :-).One question here. Being a Canuck, and flying in some fairly remote areas (including to Greenland and northern Norway), will the METAR coverage be complete for the entire world (assuming there is a RW reporting station present at a given location :-) )? I'm just talking METAR's and TAF's now, not Winds Aloft (you've already expained that part quite well).Thanks for your response in advance, and MANY thanks for taking this project on! All the best for the release!Glenn

Hi Glenn,Thanks!METAR information comes from NOAA servers (or VATSIM if you've configured it that way). If there is an NOAA report on file it will be available for use by ActiveSky. You can check the reports on NOAA at www.aviationweather.gov (Standard brief, METARs). This generally includes reports for all valid reporting stations in the world. Certain areas will not be as up-to-date as others, but this is where dynamic TAF processing comes in :) And you always have the ability of flying with your own weather files downloading from whatever source you can find :)-Damian[table border=0" cellspacing="30" cellpadding="0][tr][td align = "left"]Damian ClarkHiFi Simulation SoftwareDeveloper of ActiveSkyThe next-generation weather environment simulation for FS2002!http://hifi.avsim.net/activesky[/td][td]http://hifi.avsim.net/activesky/images/wxresmallbanner.jpg][/td][/tr][/table://http://hifi.avsim.net/activesky/ima...][/tr][/table

Ohhh man, this is soooooooooooooooooooooooo cooooooooooool!! The options are unbelievable (and your friendly and helpful support on your forum is equally as good, by the by). I'll be first in line for this program when it is released.Thanks Damian!Glenn
