Live weather conditions - Unknown98 - 10-09-2017
Live weather conditions have been added to the airport information page. Eventually weather will affect flight delays, but as of right now that is not implemented.
Because this feature was just added, some airports will still show "undefined" as the weather status. As the game goes through and updates the airports, it will begin to define the actual weather conditions.
Due to limitations in the API I cannot update weather for all 1,600+ airports simultaneously. I am limited to batches of 60. The game checks weather conditions every 5 minutes 2 minutes for up to 60 airports. Only airports with weather data older than 20 minutes will be updated. Airports with the oldest weather data will be updated first.
Essentially what that means is that updates to weather conditions are a constantly rolling thing, there is no set time when the weather will update for a particular airport. Once 20 minutes has passed since the last weather update, the airport will be re-queued for another update.
Some time soon I will probably update the layout of the airport information page to make it nicer and flow a bit better.

Are they the same as the real life weather conditions?
RE: Live weather conditions - Unknown98 - 10-09-2017
They should be. Might be slightly delayed.

When will weather fully be activated? And how will we know if the aircraft is going to be delayed?
RE: Live weather conditions - Unknown98 - 10-11-2017
Probably won’t be for a while. I have to implement delays first before weather can be activated.
Probably an icon or notice on the active flights page and/or the fleet page.

Having some issues with the API, apparently we are exceeding the limit on # of calls (60 per minute) but I have the script set up to max out at 55 calls every 2 minutes. So not sure what's up with that. Maybe there's a daily limit in addition to the per-minute limit. Going to get with customer service to see what we can do.
I could switch to Yahoo's weather API. But they have a limit of 2,000 calls per day. There are roughly 1600-1700 airports in the game. That means weather could only be updated once per day for every airport. Or something like every 20 hours potentially. Not sure I'd want to do that. If weather can't be accurate, then what's the point of including weather in the first place?

Which API are we using currently?
