July 6, 201114 yr Over the past couple days I've noticed the metars from El Salvador have one extra digit in the QNH info. Instead of Q1012 it reads Q10125 for an altimeter of 2989. It seems FSX aircraft do not go above 32.01 or 1084. Its not only an ASE problem as the default FSX weather engine also shows the same issue. The only weather program that doesn't show this is FSWxlite but maybe they are reading older metars.Just an FYI and hoping they fix their issues soon.Sean Sean Green

What's really annoying is the reports aren't always like this. Sometimes they are normal. I pulled the last three hours from Universal Weather and they show:METAR MSSS 061750Z 34003KT 9999 SCT030 30/23 Q1014 A2995= METAR MSSS 061650Z 34003KT 9999 BKN027 27/23 Q1014 A2995= MSSS 061550Z 36003KT 9999 SCT023 27/23 Q10154 A2998=Note that only the last one is messed up. I check stations in El Salvador often since this occured to me and it seems completely random whether or not the messed up QNH are reported. I just wish ASE could filter out values that are obviously incorrect.
