Why is my download wx not even close?

[ryanbatc 12,812]

Lately my downloaded real world weather has been so far off.

 

For instance I'm flying near KMSP and the ceiling is broken at 500 but I can easily fly much higher before I get to any clouds..

 

Anyone else having issues?

Hey Ryan,

 

Wow, I did not know XP had a real weather download. 

You my friend are almost at 10k posts. That is enough for some serious carpel tunnel LOL

Version numbers help.

 

The 10.30 beta has a new METAR parser which is fairly broken.

Could be a factor... I'm at the latest version.... 10.3b5 I think?

 

Yeah almost 8 years here at avsim....  I think I've been over at flightsim.com for more than 12.

It's a known issue.  I submitted a bug report a few weeks ago and got a reply saying it'll be addressed in the next beta.

Cool!

The next beta being 10.3b6 or 10.4 run...?

B6 I believe.  I erased the email.
