[online weather METARS]

I have the same problem:

- I have installed the patch

- I have changed the URL from Downloads Tab:

Wearther

File name: metar

URL: ftp://tgftp.nws.noaa.gov/data/observatiar/cycles/

I tried to download weather and I get "error Dowloading weather file"

I have made more tests:

- I have tested my firewall, all inbound/otbound connections from fsc84.exe are allowed

- I have sniffed the traffic of the conection, I can see the FTP session, but after user validation we get an FTP 500 error, Syntax error, command unrecognized.

Also I tried to download files directly from ftp://tgftp.nws.noaa.gov/data/observatiar/cycles/, there are one file for hour with the metar's:

00Z.TXT

01Z.TXT

...

I tried to download manually one off them and replace fsc_metar.txt from the FSC Database directory and charge weather on FSC. .. It works!

Conclusion

I think there are a proble on FSC 8.4.1 downloadinf files (can be it don't knows wich file to download), but FSC8.4.1 can work with the files of

tgftp.nws.noaa.gov if you download them manually.

Can you check it?

thanks in advance for your workit's great software...
