The bug is very specific and you can see exactly how it "should" look if you drag your turning point slightly away from the exact position of the airfield, so you're turning just adjacent to it. Then the cloud layers will appear as they should based on the METAR.

O Group: Forum Members Posts: 8, Visits: 0	+x Tim Dawson - 6/11/2019 9:42:24 AM Thank you. We were able to reproduce this and track down a very specific bug. It will be fixed in the next release. Good news. Any possibility of a date for the next release? As I said, I'm on a 30 day trial and the most commercial incentive to change my software is this feature. cheers Ozfrog.

Still nothing in the Visual Radar window. I repeat, this is NOT in actual use. Sitting at home. Maybe why? Thanks.

O Group: Forum Members Posts: 8, Visits: 0	+x Tim Dawson - 5/20/2013 5:40:22 PM Have you perhaps turned off display of TAF/METAR? You didn't say which version of SkyDemon you're using, but on all versions there is an option to display TAF, METAR or neither on the map and virtual radar. Where is that - I'm evaluating a 1 month trial version on iPad Mini (1) ? Downloaded 04/06/2019. Version? I have NO weather / clouds in Virtual Radar despite there being adequate TAFs and METARs available in the "Météo" panel. Thanks

Group: Forum Members Posts: 13, Visits: 117	Tim, thanks for your fast response. Probably I made an interpretation error: thinking that the weather along the whole route would be displayed but it is only displayed when you flying over fields with weather information. Is that a correct interpretation?

Group: Forum Members Posts: 13, Visits: 117	Hi, It seems that I lost the weather on my virtual radar. On the previous versions I saw the cloud base/tops and rain areas along the track. Do I have to set a parameter to get these back? Dick
