METAR delay ?

[VPA481 27]

Hi everyone,

 

 

First thanks so much to HiFi for achieving this new masterpiece. I tested it a week and bought the upgrade from AS2012.

 

I have a single question, as it's hard to have others: it has never been so simple to use a weather engine, no more option tweaking nightmare.

 

I use to fly 100% on IVAO, and each time during last week, I always saw a 30 minute delay between IVAO and ASN Metar. For example 1830 Metar on IVAO and 1800 Metar on ASN. That can be disturbing, and first of all it gives a bad impression about "as real as it gets" ...

 

 

Any idea ?

 

 

Thanks !

No ideas. It has been that way since the beginning of time.

 

Several years ago Damain Clark had a long discourse in this forum on the reason for the delays but I don't have a link to that. Try a search of his content.
