Hey,
It seems like the plugin-data-loader does not return the premium forecasts (i.e. more runs for ECMWF).
There are 2 problems:
Could you please consider fixing those 2 points (1 on the frontend and 2 on the backend) ?
Having the premium forecasts available in the plugin would give more incentive to users to buy premium.
Thanks
Simple repro code:
W.require("@plugins/plugin-data-loader")({
key: "QKlmnpLWr2rZSyFaT7LpxZc0d5bo34D4",
plugin: "windy-plugin-sounding"
})("airData", {lat: 40, lon: -120, model: "ecmwf"});

The source is http://www.alertwildfire.org/.
That's a network of camera that are used to look for wildfires on the west coast of the US. That's high quality picture on mountain tops.
See one example
I have figured how to get the URLs, positions and orientation of those cams.

Maybe it has to do with the amount of rain (per 3hr period) expected
(rain rate) but I'm not sure.
@MolnAir Hi, we are sorry, this was a fault on our server, not a problem on ECMWF side. We had difficulties with data importing, so there remained the old forecast. Everything is up and running now.
On Premium subscriptions: we are trying to find a balance between keeping most of the features free and giving good added value to premium users. A year ago there were just donations (no added value for our contributors). This year we came up with better temporal resolution of the forecasts and it is likely that we will be adding more premium features or maybe shifting some existing features to premium to keep the product attractive for our subscribers. We are developing Windy for people and we are happy that a part of them (like you) is willing to pay for it. Thank you!
Do you have an API to add 100+ webcams at once ?
I seem to remember it was supported on webcams.travel but it seems like only one web cam can be added at a time on windy.com
Thanks

In my opinion, late update-or even a lost 6 hr update- is not very significant in the forecasting.
Sometimes the recent forecast can be worse than a previous one!
Its called "jumpiness".
I copy from ECMWF's "Forecast User Guide"
"... Just because the most recent forecast is, on average, better than the previous one,
it does not mean that it is always better.
A more recent forecast can be worse than a previous one, and often with increasing forecast range
it becomes increasingly likely that the 12 or 24 hours older forecast is the better one. ..."
