Hi all!I'm one of those dinosaurs who runs his home computer without being connected to the internet.But, I'm also one who loves the real weather ability of the Flight Simulator.So, I'd absolutely love if someone with a systematic realwx library would upload simple startup flights with one wx-download per day, or something like that. Split up in weeks/moths depending on desired file size.Please let me know if someone can/will take the time to do this. Or would it only have limited interest? Speak up!Cheers, happy flights,-Halfdan

Hi,Without the Internet how would you get the archived files?Hope this helps,JimActiveSky Supporthttp://www.hifisim.com/images/as2004proudsupporter.jpg

Before I had an internet connection at home, I used a program called "getweather", I installed this on my work PC and downloaded archived weather which I put on disk and took home.I assume you must be connected somewhere as you are posting here, so maybe that is a soloution for you?.Dan.

1. Try FSMetar http://personal.telefonica.terra.es/web/fsmetar/This program turns METARs into flight simulator weather. It's free.2. Where do you get METARs? There's an archive going back to 30 July 1998 at Plymouth State University http://vortex.plymouth.edu/sa_parse-u.html3. FSMetar can also download current METARs and save them for later use.

Well what the heck!! Active Sky 2004.5 can be installed on an Internet machine and we archive world wide weather 4 times a day. This archive goes back to December of 2003. The saved file is small enough to fit on a floppy disk so you can bring the weather home and load it into Active Sky 2004.5 that you have installed on your FS04 computer.Hope this helps,JimActiveSky Supporthttp://www.hifisim.com/images/as2004proudsupporter.jpg

Hi there!thanks for your replys everyone!Jim: I bring home data on a zip-drive from my universityI was over at activesky, but it looks like payware only. At least I couldn't find the archived files...David: Thanks for the tips, I just downloaded FSMetar and a METAR from http://weather.noaa.gov/pub/data/observations/metar/cycles/In connection with FSMETAR it looks like I'm home (for) free!Thanks!-Halfdan
