The new flyable condition layer seems not useful.
At the moment in Switzerland we have very good weather to fly, blue sky, GAFOR say the same (O) but the new layer are just red.

Chris, if this is ongoing, would you be able to give us a location so that we can pass it along to our forecasters? Webcam locations are the best, because then they can monitor the effectiveness of the forecast in real time and adapt it. Thanks!
