Re: [Flightgear-devel] weather updates
But if your flying would it not be possible you could be in a differnet region under an hour that has different weather conditions. I would have thought as most of us use adsl that the option to chage this would be better. Why else does x-plane and fs2004 have this option ?

Re: [Flightgear-devel] weather updates
For example Dyce EGPD to Edinburgh EGPH does not take 1 hour and if you look at the ftp://weather.noaa.gov/data/observations/metar/stations/ site and view their weather data they are totally different. So being able to choose when the the system updates would be much better as you could easily be within range of a different weather station.

Re: [Flightgear-devel] weather updates
Oh, that. It does do that, at least mine does that, in fact there is a metar seam on very short final into my favorite runway ( 14 at KHIF ) The weather changes at random spots between the middle marker and halfway down the runway based on how fast the metar data comes off the 'net... Are you using --prop:/environment/params/real-world-weather-fetch=true ? Where are you flying?

Justin Smithies I think FS2004 uses 15 minutes because the data comes from a Jeppesen source which has more frequent updates and not from the NOAA source which is updated hourly. I may be wrong about Jeppesen having more frequent updates but they are definately the data supplier. ..finally an use for MSFS2004: use it 0 to fetch that data and 1 serve it the way we want it 'till 2 we find out how to read it fresh from the source. ;o) -- ..med vennlig hilsen = with Kind Regards from Arnt... ;o) ...with a number of polar bear hunters in his ancestry...
