Would it be possible to see METAR and TAF messages in vRoute?

I think that the raw format would be fine

 

Thank you!

Red over white, you're all right.

You mean querying by any given ICAO code? It's already available as part of route briefing, but I guess this is not convenient enough if you're asking for another feature

Hi Michal,

 

I agree. The existing feature is nice, except that you have to build a route in order to view Metars. Would it be possible to have an ICAO box and you could enter in your code and view the latest Metar?

Everything is possible . Let me announce a small contest - the person that nominates the most logical place in vroute's user interface for such a feature (you must say which screen, which tab and which location) wins the "query METAR/TAF" feature in 24 hours. OK?

On Line -> (new tab) Weather

 

... to include below VATSIM METAR / TAF queries that perhaps had also a drop down choise per Region / FIR / country

 

... as well some weather choise per minima & maxima

 

... as well as a display with custom signs for extreme weather

 

 

Also if you go in WX tab you could still keep favourite countries flags visible and by pressing on them having this country's METARs only displayed

 

Basically I'm not suggesting anything new ... it's all in ServInfo; its a good source for ideas

When you click on a pilot the details can show the departure and arrival metar

Also, click on a controller should show the metar

When you ask for a route you can see the metar and taf

When you book the system can look for taf or metar (metar if you book things < 1hour first)

A new tab called Advanced WX so you can search for ICAO, or country and city

 

To say a few ones!!
