Good Luck

Tanks Capt

Can you give me an image with WD setup?

Tanks

From the WD Help page at http://www.tokaanuskihire.co.nz/wdhelp/index.shtml, Getting Weather Reports and Metar Data

Click on “Setup” in the menu bar. Click on “Setup FTP / Internet / …”. Click on the “FTP/metar download”.

There are 3 sections to this setup page:

* Times to Download
* Weather Reports /Warnings
* Metar Downloads

Download times

These times apply to both a warning or forecast download and the Metar download. They all are provided by NOAA, based in the USA.

METARS

The Metar download is the easiest to setup. Just select a nearby airport/station nearest to you (LIRN.TXT) from the list, so that it is added to the list on the right hand side, or enter it into the space provided and click on the > button. Remember to include the .txt at the end of the 4 letter station ID code.

Then if you want to use one of these metars to update Wundeground, or to update your weather icon, or to appear as extra text on the summary image, then select that metar, so that it appears in the bottom edit box, and then tick to use this metar for local sky conditions (and wunderground).

Note: You don
