DaveDo you have to be linked to internet for metar updates.What if I just want to fly with my own preset weather. Dont always want to fly with real worl weather.I get an error when I try to use the app without internet connection.
Yes, it's purely for real world weather updates.
Hi Dave,I am running Version 1.02 without problems on XP, however, running it on 64bit W7 I get "Exception received 14-WEATHER_INVALID_METAR". Both systems are running FSXA in the same part of the world, north Scotland.George
It's one bad Metar out of 500. I'm removing this message in version 1.04 out today with any luck as I think people are assuming there is a big problem when it's just one Metar out of 500 or so.

It seems as though it doesn't continue after the message.Why would it be different between the two OSs? I have exactly the same scenery addons on both machines and never see the message on XP.GeorgeEdit. It does continue.

Thank you Dave!

Thanks for the update. I can't see any donate button on your page. It surely deserves one. :(

Any posibility to have a similar program that just work with default weather themes. I have created a few themes myself and would like to add these functionalities to the default weather themes.

Great idea!!!My FSX computer is not hooked up to the internet so I don't have access to VATSIM weather.Regards, Mike Mann

Sorry not at this moment. Some time in the future perhaps but this app brings more benefit to users wanting on line weather then off line users.Of course if you are flying with off line weather then why not have a go yourself using custom weather.

For a computer as weak as mine, this'd be a winner for real weather. One obvious question - does this require anything such as a registered version of FSUIPC 4.0, or Microsoft Framework 2.0? Dave.

Not FSUIPC but yes to framework 2.0. (Can't believe you don't have that on your machine already :-)

DaveLooks like good work - it does one thing which ASE does not which is put 10 or so visibility layers into each station to graduate the visibility up from the ground layer. Is there a way you could specify a maximum upper visibility in the interface, such that the highest altitude vis layer (eg 11,000 feet up) never exceeds this. I hate the deafult "unlimited" visibility in FSX which looks and "is" unrealistic.RegardsRob

This is excellent.You have improved my FSX experiance 20 fold, thank-you.As someone else suggested, please add a donate box. This is too good to be free!My ILS approaches now feel real, like the ones I flew in real life!

I was going to post that when flying with Open Clouds running, every five minutes or so, my FPS would plummet for about 10-15 seconds. I assumed it was from the weather being downloaded and updated. I then found the newer version available and downloaded and installed it and it has apparently fixed the FPS drop! Thanks again for a very cool program. Truly appreciated.
