Hi,

requesting terminal weather for a given airport no longer works:

2023-10-20 19:30:27 CL650[cmu_subsys_comm_mgr.c:494]: DL[https://www.aviationweather.gov/adds/dataserver_current/httpparam?dataSource=metars&requestType=retrieve&format=xml&hoursBeforeNow=2&stationString=LSZH] SENT -> FAILED (code 404)
2023-10-20 19:30:29 CL650[cmu_subsys_comm_mgr.c:494]: DL[https://www.aviationweather.gov/adds/dataserver_current/httpparam?dataSource=tafs&requestType=retrieve&format=xml&hoursBeforeNow=2&stationString=LSZH] SENT -> FAILED (code 404)
2023-10-20 19:30:32 CL650[cmu_subsys_comm_mgr.c:494]: DL[https://www.aviationweather.gov/adds/dataserver_current/httpparam?dataSource=aircraftreports&requestType=retrieve&format=xml&hoursBeforeNow=3&radialDistance=35;8.55,47.46] SENT -> FAILED (code 404)
2023-10-20 19:30:34 CL650[cmu_subsys_comm_mgr.c:494]: DL[https://api.autorouter.aero/v1.0/notam?offset=0&limit=200&itemas=[%22LSZH%22]] SENT -> FAILED (code 401)

It appears that the aviation weather api was changed: https://aviationweather.gov/data/api/#/

I get weather in XML format when using e. g.:

https://aviationweather.gov/cgi-bin/data/dataserver.php?dataSource=metars&requestType=retrieve&format=xml&hoursBeforeNow=2&stationString=LSZH

i. e. same query params, different server.

Hi!

It has been mentioned in different X-Plane forums that the NOAA weather servers have been reconfigured by the gov't, causing issues with some weather addons.

I have no idea if the CL60 is affected or not; I do not often request the weather through the FMS, but the last few times I did, I did not get any return.

I assumed it was due to METARS not being available for those specific airports.
