Colm Fitzgerald 1037650 Posted December 1, 2008 at 10:00 PM Posted December 1, 2008 at 10:00 PM Just wondering, is it possible to setup an alias for the metar to go into the text box to send over frequency? Without having to copy and paste.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you first call this function it may return an empty string. It is because when the METAR is needed EuroScope asks for it from the servers, but the evaluation is not suspended to wait for the result. Therefore and empty string will come, but next time as the METAR arrives it will be displayed correctly.

Colm Fitzgerald 1037650 Posted December 2, 2008 at 04:18 PM Author Posted December 2, 2008 at 04:18 PM Thanks for that. So basically, select aircraft, then $metar EIDW -for example? (Is there a space or not, etc?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexander Cohrs Posted December 3, 2008 at 11:03 PM Posted December 3, 2008 at 11:03 PM Is it really to possible to send this metar string via text in Euroscope? I've tried it several times, but didn't have any success... Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephan Boerner 945550 Posted December 4, 2008 at 09:13 AM Posted December 4, 2008 at 09:13 AM Hm, I just tested it with 3.0c2 and couldn't get it working, either. Maybe a bug?

Todor Atanasov 878664 Posted December 5, 2008 at 07:56 AM Posted December 5, 2008 at 07:56 AM That is strange...it is not working here either....but it may be a beta bug, not a official release bug...Alexander, what version is your EuroScope?

Gergely Csernak Posted December 6, 2008 at 07:14 AM Posted December 6, 2008 at 07:14 AM Colm, The syntax is $metar(), eg. $metar(LHBP). Alexander, Stephan, Do not forget how ES extracts the function names in the command line. After typing .metar(LHBP) you must press the TAB to get the values. The good thing is that it will not be replaced by an empty string if the metar is unavailable. So you can press the TAB some seconds later when the metar arrives from the server. Gergely.

Alexander Cohrs Posted December 6, 2008 at 08:21 AM Posted December 6, 2008 at 08:21 AM Ah, now it works! Sorry, didn't remember the TAB function... Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephan Boerner 945550 Posted December 6, 2008 at 11:01 AM Posted December 6, 2008 at 11:01 AM Ok, maybe the metar wasn't available when I tested. Now it works.
