I see quite a lot of this type of message output (see jpeg), particularly if I've had the package open for sometime.

If I move a waypoint or modify route, a fresh set is sent to the message window. Only way to stop it happening seems to be to restart app.



Incidentally, is there any way to tell if the package has all the latest TAF/METAR/WIND/Notam data - or to 'force refresh' the data?

I can't see the errors you're referring to. Often, there are typos in TAF and METAR briefings which SkyDemon cannot interpret. Additionally there are some things in such bulletins we simply don't even attempt to interpret. Both these cases are illustrated by highlighting the bulletins in the decode window.

If you believe there's a common item in TAF/METAR that SkyDemon should be interpreting but isn't, please let us know.

There's no "force refresh" button; SkyDemon goes out looking for the latest data quite often.
