Metar Screens

[David Norfolk]

Hello all, 

I've noticed for a while that the a320x doesn't have the metar screens by the ecam displays & was wondering if this is something you guys plan on adding in?

There is no such term as "Metar Screen". Do you mean Controller–pilot data link communications (CPDLC)?

No idea, i'm gonna say yes but i've attached an image

This just an feature in the jar Design Airbus for Xplane. This system doesn't exist in the real aircraft. 

As Till said, thats the CPDLC and it's used for communication with ATC

Personally I like to idea of having the METAR there. However, it contradicts FSLs commitment to realism.

They do not fancy stuff somewhere which does not exist in RW just because it is nice

I imagine that if someday VATSIM updates its old infrastructure that we might see something there...

Or wait for POSCON to revolutionize the way we fly on online networks

Mmmh - I learned not to wait for things in flight simulation. I just believe what is released and usable.

What about IVAO? They are working on a new pilot client as well. The new ATC client is already CPDLC capable. No ETA for that new pilot client though.
