Weather delay

[mjrhealth]

Hi,

 

I am not sure wether this is an Xplane or skymax issue. But when Xplane first loads. the weather seems to always be the last weather received before shut down,. if you sit long enough at the airport it will change before you leave to what you expect, even doing a force refresh wont fix it. So i am not sure if Skymax is producing weather at the very start when xplane is loaded or later.

Makes sense. You can get around this by removing any .rwx files in your main X-Plane folder before you start X-Plane.

I think it may also be based on the refresh time, i had it set to 60 min changed it to 15 and it updated the weather next load in about  5 min. Need to play more

Nah, its an xplane thing, it seems xplane Atis, just uses some random weather report on initial load, after about 15 minutes it refeshes and uses the one in the Metar report, you can test it for yourself, pick a runway with clouds etc, and listen to the metar, it will change, this morning at YSBK its saying weather is clear, but it is actually over cast and raining, after 15 minuets it updates and weather is correct, of course skymax already has clouds displayed as it is reading the correct Metar report.
