Old METAR never cleared

It seems that there's a problem with updating the METAR display data.



I have left SD Plan running for two weeks without exiting the program. I planned a route when I just started the program and it shows METAR information along the path. Then I planned another route. The METAR along the first path stays visible and hovering over a cloud shows that METAR . It never gets updated, and it also does not get cleared although obviously outdated.



We are now two weeks further. The METAR along the new path is updated and hovering over a field along the route shows the current METAR. But hovering over one of the fields along the old route still shows METAR data from two weeks ago.



I have attached screenshots, both taken today.

Cheers. I think we've discovered why this might be happening and put a fix in place. Every 10 minutes SkyDemon goes through its data to see what has expired, but if a resulting new download fails old entries would sometimes not necessarily have been cleared.
