Hi Tim and everyone,



After playing around with the trial version today I must say that I am very impressed with the features available and only wish that I had come across SkyDemon at an earlier date!



One slight niggle that I came across however was the availability of some of the TAFs. As an example, I was planning a flight from Fairoaks to Lydd and noticed that although the METAR for Lydd loaded and was displayed ok, the TAF was not displayed at the bottom on the TAF tab or ticked in the weather box on the side. I confirmed via AvBrief that a TAF was available for Lydd although it was not displayed at the time (around 1800z). Upon checking again at around 2130z, the TAF was now showing however.



I have noticed that this non-display of TAFs occurs on various aerodromes and not just Lydd as per the example. As I type, the Biggin Hill TAF is not being displayed. Is this a known issue or is there a setting that I have to change somewhere in order to enable the updates.



Many thanks in advance,

Marcus

Hmm, now that I've just seen this post by you the Biggin TAF has expired. Best thing to do would be to alert us during office hours as soon as you see that there is a TAF out there that SkyDemon isn't getting hold of, then we can investigate and discover why.

Sometimes the messages window (accessible under the Window menu) will tell you why, e.g. if the TAF has expired.

Hi Tim,



Thanks for the reply. As I speak the Lydd TAF should be "TAF EGMD 221402Z 2215/2219 21014KT 9999 FEW012 SCT030="

but is not being displayed. METAR is fine though.



Many thanks,

Marcus
