It seems not...

SkyDemon -- on PC and Android both -- refuses to load the METAR for ESCM. It says "No TAF or METAR is available for the selected airfield.", which is incorrect (see e.g. http://www.lfv.se/MetInfoHTML.asp?TextFile=metar.sweden.list.htm&SubTitle=&T=METAR%A0Sweden&Frequency=30).

I am using version 2.7.0.0 on PC and 2.7.0.20204 on Android.

It could very well have been the same problem.

We identified a bug whereby TAF and/or METAR for a specific airfield can stubbornly refuse to download. Fairly rare, but chances are this is what you're running into. We've solved this problem once and for all in SkyDemon 2.7 which is due for release next week.
Is this related to the problems I had with ESCM and ESIB, as reported earlier?

Thought problem had been solved but just using SD Plan and find that for B'ham Tafs & Metars showing OK, Coventry showing Metar but not Tafs and Gloucester not showing Tafs or Metars. All information available on the Met Office site.

You have a quite different problem. I'd suggest you contact the SkyDemon folks for support again.

What exactly happens when you try and download a plate?

I told Skydemon this a few weeks ago, was told to reset the Ipad. Nothing happens when I reset, also same results on the Nexus 4, and my other Ipad is the same.

I can also not download my Pooleys plates, Tafs, Metars.

Hope you can sort this out soon.

Hi Tim,

The Taf & Metar info for Gloucester seems to be intermittent.

Today 09.57 (local) METAR info is being picked up but not the TAF. Both available from the Met Office.

Birmingham & Coventry etc showing both OK

Regards,

Steve T

PS both showing OK on iPad

Are you still seeing a lack of information for this airfield?
