* Savaş Yatmaz -- Tuesday 09 October 2007: > Is there any way to decrease interval between metar changes?
FlightGear looks once per minute which the nearest METAR station is (from those listed in $FG_ROOT/Airports/metar.dat.gz). If a different station is the nearest, then an update will be made. Otherwise, when the nearest station remains the same, FlightGear will only download a new data set once every 15 minutes. You could only change that in the source code -- it's not configurable in an XML file. But it wouldn't make a difference, anyway (apart from annoying NOAA), because the METAR stations themselves only update around once every 30 minutes, and some even only once per hour or more. So you'd only update the old and unchanged data set more often, but you wouldn't get more frequent weather changes. m. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
