@helen, That's sad, vatsim services are down currently. they seems to be under heavy maintenence or something. i did read about it a week ago or so.
@noelFSX (if that's you mean) weather is not down. if you get your weather by the real weather feature of fsx, that'll work for you as FSX will update your local weather.
But when you ask michel for a metar report, itsyourplane asks for a "real metar" based on a different database. now, that database is not online, so IYP can't pull the information currently. That just means that you can't get the report from IYP, however your weather works.

Question. So if the fss weather service is down, does this mean that atis is unavailable? I suppose radar contact can be helpful as well? Also, what does iyp use the metar data besides using the get local weather command or flight following announcements? I haven't flown lately since I need to reinstall windows, so that is why I ask.Thanks.

For the past 6-years, he has been getting the METAR data from VATSIM...http://metar.vatsim.netHe will shortly be releasing a new version (IYP Version 4.1.0.348) that will get the METAR data from a BACKUP service when VATSIM is down. It's quite complex, because the METAR formatting from the new data source is not the same as VATSIM.Stay tuned and watch for the release of IYP version 4.1.0.348.
