FSMetar problem

Featured Replies

Anyone tried this? I downloaded it and all I get is an error that says "can't read a configuration file, program is endded" (yes the mispelling is correct). I'm running XP. Not much info in the read-me.Just wanted to try an altenative to FSMeteo.Thanks,Tim

Sorry Tim, can't help. You have got further than I have. I too downloaded it but have not yet found a way of installing it and I certainly haven't found a 'readme' file.RegardsDon

Loaded it right outa the download box. Installed first time. Downloaded METARS and searched to my hearts content. Strangely, with the preference set to English the first searched METAR interpretation - three graphics representing Weather, Winds and Temperature has English titles.In subsequent searches the titles revert to Spanish - the alternate available language. The readme file is part of the installation - I can email to you if you want but it won't help much.Quite a nice little proggie

Thanks to all for the advice. Everything is now installed and working :-yellow1 Best wishesDon
