    • Outstanding work on the new METAR runway information section!

      Excellent work giving us the prevailing winds for the different runways when an ICAO (airport) is displayed!

      For flight simming (and real-world too) this is a huge win for pilots; to see the info quickly without having to dig around (with web-cams!), for baro and IFR/VFR status. Plus, it includes real-time METAR updates... How cool is that!

    • RE: Isobars do not display using URL with correct tags.

      I did just notice, in the bottom right of the main window there is a very small "Pressure" switch that I have never noticed before. It's that small!

      I can live with that, but even still, the switch should be set when the page is posted using a new URL. When I refresh the URL from a bookmark in my browser the "i:pressure" appears in the URL then is removed from the URL. Something is wrong with the URL parsing tool upon post.

    • Isobars do not display using URL with correct tags.

      Using this URL:

      https://www.windy.com/-Menu/menu?radar,36.659,-77.582,7,i:pressure,m:eHlad1g

      Notice the "i:pressure" in the URL?

      This is the URL tag that is populated when the switch is turned on in: More Layers, Isolines of Pressure.

      But, when I pass this URL into the browser the lines do not appear. When I am leaving the page for a different URL (Google, CNN, etc.) the Isolines appear for a split second. This has to be a bug.

      All meteorologists want to see the pressures without having to drill down to a switch that is buried in the menu system. Very frustrating. I love Windy.com so don't interpret this comment as being negative, please. It is the best tool for weather that I use every day!

    • Expandable, larger satellite box, please.

      Hey, Windy!

      I am using your website, creating and following flight plans that I create for Microsoft Flight Simulator and your site works really well! It is down and dirty and gives me the details I need.

      Is there anyway that you could make the satellite box bigger or more easily expandable? I have to right-click the Google link below the image, and send the link to another tab to expand it. It's kind of a pain to do.

      That's it! Thanks for reading this.

      Best,
      HwyStar
