Change X-Plane's weather load interval

Featured Replies

Is there a way or a Lua script available to change the 1hr reload interval of the weather. I'd like to reduce the reload time to every 20 minutes. I don't use any weather addons and the NOAA plugin reloads too frequently. Thanks

I believe it is hard-coded into XP10.

Wow, ok thanks.

 

Is X-Plane supposed to load new weather as you fly along at FL400 and mach .75? I often run into clear skies after a certain time within the 1 hour reload period and have to manually reload the weather myself.

The interval for NOAA can be edited in the metar.py file.

Thanks. I'll try that.

NOAA WX is working again? It wasn't working for me in the 10.50 betas.

It is working, but you must adapt the NOAA server address in the script, as the one used has been shut down.

Vanilla X-Plane had the same issue, but LR fixed it in the last RC and later.

Guys, 2.2.2 has been released with the required fix.
