FS2004 Aviation Weather Information System

Aviation Weather Information System (AWIS) brings real-world weather briefings into the FS2004 kneeboard using clear, graphic HTML pages sourced from NOAA’s aviationweather.gov. Check METARs, national radar with cloud-top heights, PIREPs for icing and turbulence, plus decoded and raw TAF lookups for faster, better-informed route planning.

A weather briefing map displays precipitation patterns and numerical weather data across the northeastern and midwestern United States.

An electronic kneeboard briefing displays current weather for KALB, showing calm winds, clear skies, and a temperature of 16.1°C.

A briefing display shows a map of the northeastern United States with several pilot icing reports marked by blue symbols and altitudes.

An electronic kneeboard briefing page displays Aviation Weather Information System links for METARs, US radar observations, PIREPs, and TAFs.

Aviation Weather Information System (AWIS) v 1.0

This is a collection of HTML pages that can be viewed in the kneeboard giving the sim pilot fingertip access to up-to-date real-wold weather information in qick-to-digest graphic formats.

All content is courtesey of aviationweather.gov (NOAA).

- NOAA METAR Applet
- US National Radar w/ cloud top heights
- PIREPs of icing, turbulence and sky condition
- Decoded an raw TAF lookup tool

To uninstall, nuke the AWIS directory and restore the backup of nobrief.htm

I can make way more advanced functionality for the kneeboard (I do ASP.Net apps for a living), but I'm lacking in ideas for it. Got any?
