Describe the bug

The METAR display and request does not work once IVAO is selected as the network.

The following error message is displayed within the EFB: "TypeError: undefined is not an object (evaluating 'metarString.trim')"

Within the MCDU, the request is broken:

Expected behavior

In previous versions it was possible to display METAR via IVAO. It works via VATSIM etc., but not via IVAO.

Steps to reproduce

EFB

  1. EFB configured to "IVAO" (Settings --> ATSU/AOC)
  2. Load flight plan "FROM SIMBRIEF"

MCDU

  1. Request weather via MCDU menu

Please retest with development version and reopen the ticket if issue persists.

The experimental version is not supported and issues should be reported in Discord.

FRYYYYYY commented 2 years ago

Same behavior in the development version. @aguther : I am not able to re-open the issue.

IVAO have deprecated the METAR API we use.

We are awaiting on a key from them to switch to the new one. In the mean time, we are deploying a server-side change that will fallback to VATSIM to prevent errors.

Benjozork commented 2 years ago

Closing as further changes will be server-side.
