I have the wind enroute set to Auto, but every time I plan a route in the UK (yes whilst having an Internet connection) the Plog is not loading and calculating the Weather. The weather tab reports, "Wind forecasts are not available for your journey, so zero wind has been assumed." and this is despite seeing current TAFs and METARs enroute in SkyDemon! I also deleted and re-installed SkyDemon, but still the same issue; no wind in Plog for the planned route despite TAFs and METARs being available. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Check the date and time of the flight you are planning. It will only use forecast data for a time about 30 hours or so beyond the current time, outside that horizon it will assume zero wind.

Yeah i set it to today but still the weather doesn't pull through into the route planning mode. Still saying no forecasts despite current TAFs and METARs being visible in SkyDemon for the route. Zero wind still.assumed?
