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.

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?
