Thanks for the info, skino.
With so many different free radar satellite pics of europe available in the web, wouldn´t it be possible to assign another download page to the PMGW config.ini? If so, how is it done? What is the format read by PMGW?

I have no idea if and how it is changing.

If tou look in your PMGW folder you'll find a log file and within this log file, when using PMGW in Europe you'll see that the connection to the weather radar is ok but there is a reply from server that consist in "HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found".
So no data from the server is available for Europe.


Ok, so PLEASE PM staff, don't forget your European customers and users ...

Has anyone being having problems with PmGetweather not returning Metar info to the acars/metar screen on the cdu. It seems to download the sat file ok, but the metar is pretty flaky.

I have the same problem - Mostly No METAR downloads - Live in EU.
It should be fixed as there are several free sources with METAR - even VATSIM METAR is better than nothing.
Also nice would be a "PRINT" function that sends the output to a standard WIN Printer.
There are several very small ones so it is possible to have an "ACARS Printer" in the "radiobox"

The funny thing is that if one chooses a european airport on the site, like EBBR the wx shows up just fine..

btw i would appreciate it very much is someone could kindly send me a copy of your PMgetWX cfg file as mine got deleted when i upgraded to the last version and since then have no WX at all, regardless of where i am

Tks
