Group: Forum Members Posts: 13, Visits: 117	Tim, thanks for your fast response. Probably I made an interpretation error: thinking that the weather along the whole route would be displayed but it is only displayed when you flying over fields with weather information. Is that a correct interpretation?

Where is that - I'm evaluating a 1 month trial version on iPad Mini (1) ? Downloaded 04/06/2019. Version? I have NO weather / clouds in Virtual Radar despite there being adequate TAFs and METARs available in the "Météo" panel. Thanks

Still nothing in the Visual Radar window. I repeat, this is NOT in actual use. Sitting at home. Maybe why? Thanks.

Good news. Any possibility of a date for the next release? As I said, I'm on a 30 day trial and the most commercial incentive to change my software is this feature. cheers Ozfrog.

The bug is very specific and you can see exactly how it "should" look if you drag your turning point slightly away from the exact position of the airfield, so you're turning just adjacent to it. Then the cloud layers will appear as they should based on the METAR.
