Active WX Station different from current METAR

[Thomas Molitor 0]

Hi,as you can see from the screeny below, wxRE is using a different METAR (here the forced destination) instead of WX station LHTL. Known problem with v1.8 RC7 or something else?http://forums.avsim.com/user_files/11707.jpgRegardsThomas Molitor

Hi Tom!This sounds familiar :) I can't recall the details so lets start over with this one. Can you confirm this is not a PARSE ERROR with LHTL? Check the status screen date/time field. If it is a parse error, we might have a station prob with LHTL and can remove it from database. Let me know.. thanks!-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/wxrebeta.jpg][/td][/tr][/table://http://hifi.avsim.net/activesky/ima...[/tr][/table

I don't think that it is a station problem. I had this problem several times. wxRE always used the forced destination station and after a while it switched back to the right one. Shouldn't it use the last good METAR, if there is any problem?Thomas

Hi Damian,I am currently kinda frustrated and I have switched to another proggie. I am getting "PARSE ERRORS" all the time during flight. Leading to the fact that wxRE uses the forced destination METAR all the time. Clicking "Refresh" solves the problem until next METAR refresh. Is there any chance of solving this problem?ThanksThomas Molitor

I hope there is a chance.. there have been no problems we haven't solved yet!Which METAR stations are causing parse errors? This is probably our issue.. invalid METAR stations..-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/wxrebeta.jpg][/td][/tr][/table://http://hifi.avsim.net/activesky/ima...[/tr][/table

Tom,Just confirm LHTL is invalid, will remove from dist file... Delete from your icao.txt as well, this should solve this problem.. if any other stations experience the same error, let me know.. thanks!-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/wxrebeta.jpg][/td][/tr][/table://http://hifi.avsim.net/activesky/ima...[/tr][/table

I don't think that a single station is causing this. I even had it for EDDF. Whcih shouldn't be invalid or? ;)I think it's more likely a connection problem. I have switched back to v1.5 and v1.7 and they are more stable than v1.8. With these old versions I get no "PARSE ERRORS". The strange thing is that a click on the "Refresh" button directly solves the prob until the next stations comes available. If you need more info and help, then contact me via email. Maybe we can locate the problem together. I know some other users that I have the problem on a wide range of system configs (different OS etc.).Thomas
