**spense** · 08-22-2003, 11:19 PM

I was just wondering if there are any programs that actually d/l real weather unlike default FS weather. Programs like FSMeteo but that are freeware? I would appriciate any info on some programs that arent payware.

Ok i tried out weather center novice and it works great and it gets acurate weather... but the displays says 10sm for visibility but the visibility looks like 50 sm in fs. Any suggestions?

Are there any options in the program to randomize reported 10 mile visibility to something more? The reason this may be happening is that most AWOS/ASOS systems can only detect visibility up to 10 miles. So while the visibility may be 50 or more miles, the station will only report 10. Therefore, there may be some setting that will allow higher visibilites when visibity is reported at 10.

Just a suggestion. ;-)
