Hi,This has been bugging me for a while... On my normal FS setup I use ASE on a second PC but then sometimes if I just want a quick blast about I don't bother setting up the WideFS machine and just use my main FS rig, which has ASv6 for the weather...Sometimes I also use ASv6 to check weather for afcad choice (before firing up the whole mulit PC setup) and what I have noticed, is that the METAR data is often very different between the two programs!Here is an example for EGLL today (but I notice the problem is often present)ASv6 -> EGLL 211120Z 03006KT 340V080 9999 SCT042 24/12 Q1031ASE -> EGLL 211220Z 06008KT 020V080 9999 SCT043 23/12 Q1031 NOSIGREAL -> EGLL 211220Z 06008KT 020V080 9999 SCT043 23/12 Q1031Why is this? Surely one of these (ASv6 in this case) is just basically wrong!Geoff

Hi,The METARs are an hour apart, due to the way in which each program updates via the data system.

Hi,The METARs are an hour apart, due to the way in which each program updates via the data system.

Ok - so I can expect this as normal behaviour then...

Hi,Yes, but it is all based on the 2 different ways that each data server is updated. And it is going to depend on what part of the METAR hour you are running each program. There may be times when the hours match up exactly and other times where ASv6.5 is an hour behind.
