What determines the time parameter for downloading weather via AS 2004?Here is the latest at KMDW.KMDW 271053Z 00000KT 10SM FEW120 16/11 A3013 RMK AO2 SLP199 T01560106 $ I loaded my flight plan and here is what it indicated in AS 2004:KMDW 260053Z 10008KT 10SM FEW070 19/08 A3005 RMK AO2 SLP172 T01890078KMDW 252330Z 260024 31008KT P6SM SCT070 FM0400 27006KT P6SM SCT070What time does AS 2004 base its time for retrieving the metar? Is it FS 2004 time? I reset the time in FS 2004, but I am tnot seeing any change in the metar data.Thanks!Barry

Hi Barry,If, in AS, Use System Time is checked ON, then your computer clock is used. Online Updates checked ON?Hope this helps,JimActiveSky Supporthttp://www.hifisim.com/images/as2004proudsupporter.jpg

Hi Barry,I am flying right now and getting the latest weather. I even typed in KMDW and got the proper METAR. Now you are getting weather from yesterday. Double check the Online Update box. Is AS connecting to the server? Any other programs running?Hope this helps,JimActiveSky Supporthttp://www.hifisim.com/images/as2004proudsupporter.jpg

I was able to go to the Download Wx screen from Options and type in the correct METAR Tag 272353Z for example and after that point it was retrieving the weather just fine.I'll retest try again tonight and tomorrow as well and see if the Wx changes. Now the other issue is getting FS 2004 ATIS to recognize it and set the appropriate active runway.Thanks!
