Textual vs Encoded metar different, and TSRA parsed gives RA

Featured Replies

Just curious why the Textual and Encoded Metar differ for me?Eg. Textual Metar (Report Page, and real Metar reporting) says:CYBD 302200Z 32013KT 15SM -SHRA BKN090TCU 15/09 RMK TCU6 WND DCTN ESTDEncoded METAR - WX Config PageCYBD 302200Z 32013KT 10SM -RA 15/09 Q1019And - when I parse the Encoded Metar above with:CYBD 302200Z 32013KT 15SM -TSRA BKN090TCU 15/14 Q1019 (adding the -TSRA for some excitement), it comes out as -RA not TSRA? I can't force the thunderstorm. So I tried coping and existing "Encoded Metar" from a location that had TSRA in it, and after I do it shows -ra, losing the TSRA? Bug maybe or just me?Thanks,Garett

Hi Garett,In Wx config separate parsing is used... SH is stripped because it is not simulated in FSX. Not sure why the BKN090 layer or TS is gone. It may be the multiple elements here. Perhaps try TS and RA as separate items? We will look at this.Best,
