Bug in metar decoding?

I seem to have stumbled upon some strange behavior in the sim, quite often I would get a thick layer of fog on the ground, with only mountains poking up. I think I have traced it down to the metar decoding of automated stations that don't report visibility conditions(how could they really?), and it seems like it's grabbing the temperature as the visibility, so a 14/05 in the metar turns into 14m visibility. (this sometimes does not hold true, so I may be off in my guessing).

Added is a screenshot of FSrealWx in action, latest beta version, showing the decoded metar with Visibility: 11m, most of the other AUTO stations without visibility info does this as well, except one(CWQO), could be the negative dew point sets it straight(speculation, I know).




Thank you for an otherwise excellent product, I will do my best to upgrade to payed when my financial situation permits so

It's fixed. Update coming soon. Maybe tomorrow.
Thx

If you find an error, then please give me exactly about your system. Which sim (FSX / P3D / Xplane). Which connection (FSUIPC / SimConnect / FSrealWX-Bridge). Which OS.
