ASN weather information?

[kermit_70]

Hello, I have a couple of basic questions on the way Plan-G handles information from ASN-generated weather.
I understand that currently (v3) there is no map overlay for winds, clouds or precipitation (that would be a great update, of course!).
I see that if I set plan-G up to get weather info directly from FSX (in my case that would be ASN-generated), then I could get in Plan-G a METAR-like table for weather stations at START and END of a flight plan.

Questions:
1) Can I get the same table with information on ALL available METARs along the route of my flighplan (and not just beginning and end)?
2) Can I get these same METARs directly on the map, and not just in table format?

Apologies is this is all obvious to you, but I am just starting with Plan-G...

Thanks!

Hover your mouse over the airport, and both TAFs and METARs will be shown in the popup, if they're available.

How do you get ASN weather in Plan G.

I have plan g networked, ASN on a seperate computer networked. ASN weather loads in FSX but Plan G still shows the winds and I assume weather from FSX weather engine not ASN.

How do I get PlanG to show ASN weather??

As far as I observed, Plan-G shows exactly at least the winds being injected by ASN. When flying big irons like PMDG's T7 or the NGX the wind information (speed and direction) given is identical. I didn't check the airport related METAR information within Plan-G up to now as I use ASN directly.

METARs come from NOAA, which is one of very few public free aggregators of METAR and TAF data. Bearing in mind that airports only issue METARS/TAFs once an hour (and not all airports report H24), it's about as accurate as it can be. The server is polled every 15 minutes - assuming you have WebWX active in Plan-G - so data should be no more than 75 minutes out of date for an actively reporting airport.

Okay, a second independent source.  :azn:
