But fgfs discards data sets that are older than /environment/params/metar-max-age-min (4 hours), and searches more recent data from farther away stations. If all are old (because the server is down and a proxy only spits out old data, or something), then you'll maybe get lots of requests one after the other. Next time, check the age of the weather data set that the "metar" program showed. m. _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@flightgear.org http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d
