Hi,

I am using X Plane with XP Noaa weather. I found out that the Metar provided by XP Noaa weather is most of the time 1 or 2 hours older then the when used by VATSIM (which is very close to the current time). 

For example if I select NOAA as a source for the metar at 7.00 PM I am getting following metar recorded at 1500Z which is 4 hours late and 1-2 hours late compared t what Vatsim is using...

But if I select VATSIM I am getting a metar recorded at 1730z which is same or close to what VATSIM is using.

any idea why when I select NOAA I am getting a metar which is 4 hours old compared to the current time but when I select VATSIM I am getting a metar which is 1,5 hour old...

 

Thanks!!

 Just for Info I solved the problem by installing Python 3.10.9 (previously Python 2.7) with XP Python 310 and XPNoaaweather 3.2.0 (previously 250). Now all is fine again 🙂
