I have flown the SkyRadar four times now since I have all the software up to date. If I update the weather via the website within 24 hours, I get winds aloft, if not my iFly reports none found (anywhere in the SE.) At the same time the status screen (today) was showing 68 fresh winds reports received. I'm now suspecting that any winds aloft reports that I've seen in the past were not live from the SkyRadar connection? Are there any addition updates that I need to install?
Radar, Metars, and TAF's are working like a champ, with plenty of fresh reports anywhere in the SE.
I'm uncertain about Pirep's, as the status page is showing numerous hits, but again I couldn't see any today.
One other observation; I'm connecting the SkyRadar and the serial port adapter (autopilot coupler) to the iFly through a USB hub. If both are connected when I turn on the system, the iFly sees only the autopilot coupler on "COM 5" but if I bring it up with only the SkyRadar connected through the hub it sees it just fine (on serial port "0".) After that connection is established, if I connect the serial port coupler to the hub, it sees it also (on "COM 5") and everything is fine. Prior to the installation of SkyRadar, I was having no problem connecting through the hub to both the USB drive (for my in-flight tunes) and the serial port adapter on boot-up. (The USB thumb drive is not in the picture right now)
Thanks for any experience / insight,
Dave
