Where does AS6 get real weather data from?

Featured Replies

I positioned myself in Dallas. Denton Muni. (KDTO)The weather from AS6 is not real. While I get the latest Metar from FSX Real weather. Its raining here in Dallas area. But AS6 shows no rain.MAnnyAS6 is 292253ZKDTO 292253Z 16013KT 10SM CLR 20/M02 A2970 RMK AO2 SLP055 T02001022 TSNOReal world Metar is 292338ZKDTO 292353Z 09010G19KT 10SM RA BKN028 BKN065 OVC085 17/15 A2983Almost an hr old.

Those strings are from different times, and things can change that fast in Dallas. If they were from the same time that would be something.The first one DOES call for TSNO which I believe to be T-storms in area...(???)I know ASV6 arrives at a wx using what is described in the documentation as, "a variety of sources" or something like that. I imagine these sources must include NOAA/NWS, and possibly places like France Meteo or whatever it's called, and possibly various universities...It's an interesting question. Who has the weather for Mali, for example? :) What an obscure place! Yet ASV6 models it.

Actually, TSNO means 'thunderstorm information not available'...DJ

Hi All,I did miss this post the other day.1. We have many sources of weather, more than 12, I believe. At the top of each hour our 2 data servers gather the information, and it takes 15-20 minutes to prepare everything. That is why the data can be a bit behind, depending on the time you are on.2. Any codes after RMK are not used in AS.Happy New Year,Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/Active Sky V6 Development Team Active Sky V6 Proud SupporterHiFi Beta TeamRadar Contact Supporter: http://www.jdtllc.com/AirSource Member: http://www.air-source.us/FSEconomy Member:http://www.fseconomy.com/
