Why do you (and also the core FG folks) hardcode the NOAA url? why not put it in some config?

It actually is configurable in FlightGear since three years: /environment/realwx/metar-url

(As far as I can see the URL from three years ago is still working fine...)

I started to port it so it works on linux... didn't get far tho just cause of time limits and other projects which were more interesting

Thanks merspieler, I'd like to help but my skills are quite limited... anyway I'd like to know if it is good/possible to integrate winds aloft data grab into the FG wheater system (when you set real weather, FG should automatically grab both local METAR weather and wind aloft data)

Good? ig that's subjective?
Possible? I'd say yes as long as the data source license is compatible.... and... you find someone who implements it in the core code.

Don't know if the licence is compatible, anyway I was thinking about an fgaddon with a blank configurable data source path so there is no problem with licence... Once installed is up to the user to set the correct path to start grabbing data... I'm going to look at this, anyway probably this is beyond my coding skills :(

There is also an alternative way... it should be possible to import wind aloft data from littlenavmap which can already grab them from https://nomads.ncep.noaa.gov/

I mean, tighter integration with lnm would be awesome.
Like... the A320 can import flightplans from this one navigraph owned service... would be nice if the same is possible from lnm. Also fg connection without needing a 3rd software which is at least here a but flaky...
