BIG UPDATE: I have now modified it so all you do is enter an airport ident and it gets the weather automatically off of the internet, example idents: KDFW(dallas ft. worth intl), KDEN(denver intl), KGGG(East Texas regional), KJFK(New york). It will also translate remarks.
UPDATE: V1.1.5 released. I added some features such as error checking and telling which direction the wind is going like N, S, E, SW, SE, etc. and i added a '.' between the altimeter: 29.92 before it was just 2992
UPDATE: V1.1 is released. This is in the same windows form as below except with some new features added such as a about button, and a 3rd way of translating the metar. Check it out!
UPDATE: V1.0 is released. This one is in a windows form. The metar translator that i released earlier was considered beta; this is V1.0. It translates very basic METARS such as this: KGGG 120153Z 11006KT 10SM SCT085 26/23 A2997 RMK. V1.1 will support advanced metars without remarks, v1.2-4 will have support for remarks, V1.5 will get weather data off of the internet. V2.0 will hopefully be incorporated as a plugin for both X-Plane 8.64 and Microsoft's FSX(Flight Simulator 10)
UPDATE: I am now putting it into a window frame.
This translates the very basics of a METAR, a weather strip generated by aviation computers.
Read the readme.txt and run METARtranslator.exe
