This happens a lot in the pacific and isolated areas. However never questioned it since i use navigraph charts to get metars and D-Atis

Same issue. Just solved setting NOAA as source for METAR/TAF on the FBW A32N ipad page. For all other Asobo aircraft the problem persist

METAR is back at KJFK:

I don’t think METAR is needed for Live Weather to work in the sim. And a lot of smaller airports don’t have METAR reporting anyway. Not for JFK :joy:

Just JFK or did you only have time to test there?

I also spawned at LFPG prior KJFK yesterday and METAR was also available. Do you still have an issue on your side ?

Issue seems to be resolved!
