• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Sometimes this Sim amazes me

FSMetar and ActiveSky do not seem pick up the same weather stations.

FSMetar seems to be able to contact a wider variety of Metar weather stations.

Next time you do it see if the reporting weather station is the same.
 
For instance: here are two screenies I took while on the ground on Kanton Island. The first shot is using Active Sky. The second is using FSMetar.

  • ActiveSky uses the metar from Faleolo, Western Samoa- nearly 600 miles away.
  • FSMetar uses the metar from Funafuti, Tuvalu, only 57 miles away.
The conditions look very similar, but that could be because I didn't clear the weather when switching between AS and FSM- I was just checking to see which metars they were using.

For some reason FSMetar seems to access more metars. I have noticed in the past that AS often ranges far from the CFS2 location to pick up a metar.
