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

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....
