That's why I keep REX WF on standby!

I wish I could get my money back for that program. It's terrible.

I musts be lucky or something, 95% of the time when I land, as I just did, I type metar and the airport name in Google, and what the metar says is what I see at the airport.

You've been blessed by the flight simulation gods.

Agree completely, although I just use the SkyVector map and hover over the airport spot for the METAR.

When METAR is available I also find it pretty much matches RL.

I was referring to those situations where in sim it says - "No METAR Available".

When this happens it can take a while before I get back RWW with METAR.

Considering the cruddy clouds in live weather recently, its unavailability can only be a good thing.

That depends on your settings and the hardware you use ( eg 4K and/or multi monitor )

I have a 3090 in each of my outside view pc’s and with my settings + 4K I am happy to have them …

Even though I had live weather working just fine yesterday the popcorn clouds - where it's supposed to be CLEAR - looked laughable and unfortunately added a sour point to an otherwise pleasant flight. The wind was fine, that was as reported so at least that's something.
