SU6 Release Notes (10-19-21)

[N6722C]

I saw some very interesting ones on there that should help out the 3rd party devs a lot.
Eg. there are new functions to pull METAR data from the sim (If I’m interpreting the list item properly). That in itself will help work around the whole sim weather doesn’t match real sources issues.

Exactly, what item in the SU6 change notes, do you attribute this API to ?
If indeed, this is to be in SU6, I would be both delighted and amazed !!

Are you refering to : -

-Added “GET_METAR_BY_IDENT” (ident) call to JS facility listener to get a METAR by airport ident
-Added “GET_METAR_BY_LATLON” (lat, lon) call to JS facility listener to get the closest METAR by latitude and longitude

Fantastic – but

Is that Real World Metars or Metars derived from the MSFS weather system in the sim.

Currently, one can get the Real World Metars by access to the Internet, (and having access with a key,) – maybe this just adding that INTO MSFS - getting Real World Metars (allowing those with X-Box to get Metars ? )
