Metar Lag

[hawkt1]

Hi Larry,

My servers pulling the noaa cycles data for the metar however it shows the matar for 1350 as opposed to 1750. I note also the weather is always different to vatsim and other servers.

Any idea or suggestions

How do you have your weather retrieval configured in your fsd.conf file?

[weather]
source=download
server=tgftp.nws.noaa.gov
dir=/data/observations/metar/cycles/
ftpmode=passive

At the moment its showing 0850 metars in fsinn but the time local and in fsinn is 1237

Any idea Larry?

The server is set at 1200. the fsd server shows at 1200 using the tcp port access yet the metars still 0850 or around 4-5 hours behind?

Hi,
the fsd-server has coded a 3 hour offset, to avoid loading unfinished metar cycles.
You can edit the UNIX-Code and compile a new FSD-Server-Version or simply put the serverclock 2 hour forward (thats what we'v done on our server). But you have to test it. If you receive uncomplete Cycles, set it back by 30 minutes.
