Hi Tom,Taxi winds disabled in FSUIPC?Using FS02 or FS04?Turn TAF processing Off in wxRE.Hope this helps,JimActiveSky Supporthttp://www.hifisim.com/images/as2004proudsupporter.jpg

i've turned off taf and taxi wind control. i'll let you know how it works out. thanks, tt[fs02[2k2pro]]

i just got cloud layer conflict [again, about 90% of the time] in metar, skipping transition... tt

Sometimes there is code in the METAR that wxRE does not recognize.Hope this helps,JimActiveSky Supporthttp://www.hifisim.com/images/as2004proudsupporter.jpg

ok. tt
