Thankyou for your quick reply. My "personal" airfield is YLIL which is Lilydale, Victoria, Australia (there is no Metar there to my knowledge) however this message occurs at every Metar region I have been flying in since installing the trial version. i.e. Dijon and Nice and Corsica yesterday. The weather engine does appear to work but I am confused as to this message. Within your programming, what was/is this FSrealWX message meant to convey? Maybe this is a trial version experience? Thanks again, Cheers. Dan
