Slow METAR update - incorrect cloud cover

Featured Replies

HiYesterday I was flying a club Cessna 152 in my local area around Denham near London, UKIt was a very windy day with cloudbase 3500 ft and mainly OVC. When I returned home early evening I downloaded the latest weather for the area (EGLL) in ASV/FS but the METAR was still from 1550z even though it was now 7pm in the evening. Once the weather had been processed in ASV and FS I got the correct wind and speed (300/15) but the rest of the weather was totally wrong! No OVC just a pretty blue sky with fluffy cumulus and no gusts or vertical air simulation. I am pretty disappointed in how inaccurate ASV was at generating the required weather and the delay in downloading the correct METAR.Is this a common problem with ASV? I havent noticed the problem before but this is the first time I have downloaded the same METAR for FS as for my real-world flight!RegardsAdamFS9.1Win XPPrescott 3.20 GHz - 2GB RAMAsus ATi Radeon X800 Pro TD 256MBOmega Radeon ATI Drivers19" CRT 1600x1200 @ 100hzAudiophile 24/96 Audio
