    Great job. However, mine is not fetching anything and just stays blank. I installed both VC_Redist but no luck!

    Where do you get the names for airports from?
    For example:
    Porto/Cameriro
    The airport is:
    Porto/Sá Carneiro
    Arpt is short for Airport???

    Hello Volandovoy!

    Airport names are loaded via the aviationweather.gov API.

    Though, this is planned to be changed to another API, which will give the entire name.

    For example, "Bergen/Flesland Arpt" in the next update, will be "Bergen Airport Flesland".

    Hello!

    This update now includes the Microsoft Visual C++ Runtimes. Because some people may not have this installed. Because VisualMETAR relies on theese libraries. I decided to make the DLLs just be inside of the VisualMETAR folder so people that don't have them don't need to do an external download of them. This is why the size has gone up.

    Hi Phillip, thanks for this great addon. I got a couple of points as feedback for you
    1. When typing the airport ICAO code, hitting the "Enter" key should also trigger a search.
    2. If some fields (like visibility or ceiling) are not fetched from the METAR, instead of using "None" I would suggest to use dashes.
    3. Changing the units in the settings triggers a restart. Would be better if it's done right away (if technically possible). Or at least if units are changed in the settings, persist the state of the search bar, so that the user doesn't have to enter the ICAO code again (this is more likely a "nice to have").

    Other than that, keep up the good work :)

    Hello DroneSim!

    I highly appreciate your feedback on VisualMETAR.

    I am planning on adding your first feedback. This was supposed to be a feature in the inital release, and those after. but i've kept forgetting this. (Most likely because of my ADHD)

    Aswell about your second feedback. This will be changed in the next release aswell!

    About the third feedback, aswell, this will be added aswell in the next release. And yes, it is possible. For example the switching of wind speed units will auto refresh itself, even before you click save. Because it auto refreshes in the app. But doesn't actually save itself in the settings until the save is pressed.

    Thank you for your feedback, I really do appreciate it! :)

    Hi Vtolvr, i downloaded your file and left it in its folded as instructed and placed it on my desk top. I clicked the cloud symbol in the founder to start the program windows gave me the message cannot proceed because VCRUNTIME 140.dll was not found. Have i done something wrong myself??

    Hello longfly54!

    This issue occurs because you do not have the Microsoft visual runtimes installed. You can install them using theese links:

    Download from the links below. I suggest you install both the x86 and x64 versions.
    x86: https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x86.exe
    x64: https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe
