chromium Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 Hello, I'm trying to build a mod that will load into the DCS mission editor the real current weather in a pre-defined location (not dynamic weather). But the first thing that I need is a site where I can read the current weather information (or the METAR string) using lua scripting. Can someone suggest a site that allow connections and download of such information? thanks!

1.JaVA_Platypus Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 I know that FSX had that kind of mechanism. Maybe you should look into how that was done? Happy Flying! :pilotfly:
chromium Posted June 16, 2015 Author Posted June 16, 2015 It has a dedicated site hosted by microsoft AFAIK. Nothing that I could look into.. the same for FSUIPC.

effte Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 Enter an ICAO identifier and you get a URL which you should be able to use for HTTP access from your code. ----- Introduction to UTM/MGRS - Trying to get your head around what trim is, how it works and how to use it? - DCS helos vs the real world.
