Weather not loading correctly from Active Sky XP

[Markjb 0]

I'm using V2.5.0.7_x64 and pointing the Active Sky folder in the config to C:\user\name\AppData\HiFi\AS_XP\Weather. P2ATC is reporting the weather as Clear, Winds light and variable QNH 0000 which I assume means that it thinks something is available but not reading it correctly. I am also pointing LittleNavMap weather to the same folder for ASXP and it shows the correct weather matching ASXP.

In the log file I see these errors:

Error in XPWeather DecodMETARString  02/02/2019 21:44:23
System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: Year, Month, and Day parameters describe an un-representable DateTime.

There was a typo in the path in my original post, path is C:\user\name\AppData\Roaming\HiFi\AS_XPL\Weather

just updated to ASXP SP1 beta and no difference. Makes taking off and landing more interesting with a tail wind, anyone got this working?

The error is the problem.  It is not able to read the METAR line for that airport.

Please email your Current_wx_snapshot.txt file to me at admin@pilot2atc.com.  Also, what airport your are at when you get this error.

I'll see what's going on. 

Thanks,

Dave

Mark,

I found a "bug" whereby if the METAR is not current, a date calculation error can occur if the current month has fewer days than the date of the METAR string.  In this case, the METAR in your file is from 1/31 and the current month is Feb, so it tried to interpret 2/31, which is an invalid date.

This will be fixed in the next update.  As a work around, be sure to update the weather before trying to access it in P2A.

I was having the same issue using FSGRW with X-Plane, thanks for clearing that up. Looking forward to the next update.
