August 17, 200421 yr Hi Damian and Jim,Am happy with the great progress in the new releases. Yesterday updated to build 140. Have flew for 4 hours (or so) and all went OK. Good visibility and wind transition and good overcast skies (viewed from the spot plane). Congratulations!Have a little problem with METAR of SACO airport. From day 05-AUG-04, I get only TAF for this airport. I know you can do something with this.Thanks for your great support.Regards.Dirk Trotteyn (SANT)
August 18, 200421 yr Hi Dirk,Thanks for the report!Just positioned myself at SACO and got the METAR albeit 4 hours old. Then went to: http://weather.noaa.gov/weather/metar.shtmland plugged in the SACO code and got the same 1900Z METAR. So I ask: is it since 05-Aug or is it with archived weather from 05-Aug?Hope this helps,JimActiveSky Supporthttp://www.hifisim.com/images/as2004proudsupporter.jpg
August 18, 200421 yr Hi Jim, Thanks for the fast replay.Yes, since 05-AUG with CURRENT D/L weather.I just D/L current weather for 181250Z and NO METAR for SACO. Fetch let you see the METAR for SAOR in place of SACO.This is the string in the 20040818-13z.dat file:SACO::*::SACO 181100Z 181212 18010KT 9999 SCT010 SCT100 BECMG 1820 OVC010Hope this help. Thanks

August 18, 200421 yr Dirk,Look to me like SACO is a station that does not report every hour. NOAA still has the 1900Z METAR from last night. AS autogenerated a METAR for me just now so that means no data was on the server. If a station does not report there is not much more we can do!Hope this helps,JimActiveSky Supporthttp://www.hifisim.com/images/as2004proudsupporter.jpg
August 18, 200421 yr Hi Jim,I had (5 months ago) a similar situation for SANT (my home airport). And these were the results:http://forums.avsim.net/dcboard.php?az=sho...ing_type=searchSACO is the second important airport of Argentina and is center of weather forecast of half the country. Really a strange behavior for an important weather station like these. Before 05-AUG, I daily had SACO METAR in the fetch. What could happened whit? Thanks for helping me.Regards.Dirk Trotteyn (SANT)
August 18, 200421 yr Hi Jim, Good news:Just downloaded Current Weather from 20:00Z and SACO METAR is present again!Regards.Dirk Trotteyn (SANT)
