Whatever happened to the METARs?

Post by dgor » Sun Oct 19, 2008 4:21 pm

Hi,

There used to be weather METAR reports on the printable Flight Briefing documents, but they have been removed. I'd love to see these re-instated if possible, they were very handy :)

Hi Dave,

Its been disabled. http://www.fsairlines.net/forum/viewtop ... =86&t=5082
If the metar feed failed, then we got no briefing at all.

I see. That's a shame but for the best I suppose :(

Thanks for the reply.

If you have a program called servinfo... (available widely in the FS world) you can use it to grab weather reports, there's a little button that looks like a cloud with rain, way up in the top left among the buttons. Click it and a new box appears where you enter your airport ICAO code at the top, and it will give you weather for it. Very handy.... :)
