hi1. i use FS9 with FsMetar. Can someone tell me, if i need to setup FSUIPC in a special way, so FsMetar works right? In FSUIPC there are many settings i don't quite understand, is there a suggested setting for FsMetar? (like "use FS own weather" etc...). Which settings do i have to choose?2. When weather changes in FS (using FsMetar), the panel "flashes" every three seconds for several minutes. It's annoying. How can I get rid of that? I use PMDGs 737NG only, does it have something to do with that?3. Which FsMetar server is best? (IVAO, VATSIM or NOAA?)Thanks for comments and explainations,Stu

"2. When weather changes in FS (using FsMetar), the panel "flashes" every three seconds for several minutes. It's annoying. How can I get rid of that? I use PMDGs 737NG only, does it have something to do with that?"Noticed that also( not restricted to aircraft type )- or occasionally stutters for a few seconds as FSMetar updates the WX.I found the best way is to use it at the start of the flight and then switch it off untill you have travelled a significant distance (EG in a C172 100 miles, in a jet say 200 miles) Otherwise the thing keeps on updating endlessly - particularly if you are in an area that has a lot of (WX)reporting airfields close together.Not ideal I know but this works OK for me.Dave

Hi Stu,FS Metar has a readme that gives some suggestions for FSUIPC settings. For the flashing panel, make sure that "render to texture" is selected in the hardware setup menu, at least I think that is where it is. Which server is best is a personal thing. I use NOAA because that is what I've always used for all my sims.Mike
