Hi. I'm gettting errors in the log for Metars and Tafs. It seems the URL has changed such that https://aviationweather.gov/adds/dataserver_current/httpparam?dataSource=metars&requestType=retrieve&format=xml&stationString=LFPG&hoursBeforeNow=2  would now become https://aviationweather.gov/cgi-bin/data/dataserver.php?dataSource=metars&.httpparam?dataSource=metars&requestType=retrieve&format=xml&stationString=LFPG&hoursBeforeNow=2 Possibly a URL change for Paris LFPG departure charts as well. A very quick test got me Glasgow departure charts, but no Paris ones.

I'm not sure why the TBM900 is trying to download Metars and Tafs anyway. Am I losing any functionality with the denied request from that URL? I thought the weather radar just used the sim weather anyway. I'm using the Noaa weather plugin as it is, but tbf I haven't even really looked at the weather radar. I'm guessing that's whats trying to connect to the Aviationweather site.

Cheers for a great aircraft despite these very small gripes.
