https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D237400 Bug ID: 237400 Summary: games/flightgear: metar data won't download Product: Ports & Packages Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: Individual Port(s) Assignee: martymac@FreeBSD.org Reporter: russo@bogodyn.org Assignee: martymac@FreeBSD.org Flags: maintainer-feedback?(martymac@FreeBSD.org) Attachment #203810 text/plain mime type: Created attachment 203810 --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=3D203810&action= =3Dedit First patch file needed to correct METAR URL Flightgear connects to a NOAA web site to get weather data. This site swit= ched to HTTPS-only, but only after the most recent release of flightgear had hard-coded the HTTP version of the URL into the program. Two one-line patches restore correct function to this feature of flightgear, which is also being addressed by the flightgear developers (so this patch almost certainly will be made obsolete by the next release). Steps to reproduce: Run flightgear and start it at any airport. Enable detailed weather by selecting Environment->Weather, then clicking the "Deta= iled Weather" button and selecting "Live Weather" in pulldown box.=20=20 Expected results: live weather data for the selected airport will appear in the dialog box and the "data is valid" box will be selected. Actual results: It will report that no METAR data is available. Adding the two files attached to the /usr/ports/games/flightgear/files directory fixes the problem and restores METAR capability. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
