Hi,Offline archives are provided every 6 hours (00Z, 06Z, 12Z, 18Z). Your input in the archive download screen is rounded DOWN to the nearest 6hr archive. So things are working normally. In your example if you used 18 (through 23) you would get the 18Z archive. This is explained in the documentation. To handle the changes in weather from one 6-hour archive to the next, TAF processing should be enabled.We are working on providing hourly archives as well as synchronous "replay" of historical wx (i.e. you start at 1300Z and fly for 5 hours, and you'll get the 1300, 1400, 1500, 1600, 1700 METAR, TAF and winds data appropriately). This is a ways out but it is coming!Hope that helps..
