BPN Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Is there a problem with Ian's site or just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 No, it is not you mate...I have contacted him but have not heard back...for reliability I offered several times to buy the code and host it here but the offers were declined. However, some good news...I have asked Stan (Stanzahereo) to develop a much more safer and reliable version of PEMET to have on this site. It is laid out in two columns with the formal weather forcast from AirServices in the left column and the Plain English version in the right column so for safety you get both forcasts AND, it will be a helpful learning tool seeing both versions together should you ever only have the formal weather available to you. Stan is working on it as fast as he can so hopefully it won't be too long a wait and when he has finished it I will let everyone know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabiru Phil Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 It would be great to have the program more reliable. I use a lot and get frustrated when I can't access regularly. I.B has done a good job but as he says he needs to work for a living so not always at the computer. I hope you can develop a similar product. Regards.

jetjr Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 others like Pitrex have stopped working too, Im thinking the no login page from ASA might have finally been shutdown I used to have a fast link to the page, as of last Monday it just goes to front page for Air Services Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 I fixed our weather page here for the formal weather as soon as I found out...it is a very simple fix...I also advised Ian Boag at the same time but his is still not working...much better when it gets on here completely for everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryon Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 If anybody knows how to fix Pitrex, please let me know as it is a great program Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabiru Phil Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 I too have not been unable to access. Dex, program gives taf, arfor in plain english. The best point is that it draws a line portraying fronts, also nominates the best runway. I have had for a couple of years, bought from a guy Melbourne way for about $30. Don't remember his contact though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryon Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Pitrex is a program that was developed by Tony Nixon. I knew him as a FI at Tyabb in Vic As Jabiru Phil said, 'gives taf, arfor in plain english. The best point is that it draws a line portraying fronts, also nominates the best runway.' Giving the fronts as a visual guide is a very handy feature as it overlays the text and highlights the text description at the same time thereby giving a very quick and easy reference for fronts Just by hitting page down, it highlights the next text reference and shows a visual diagram of the front A great little program that was advertised for sale in RA magazine a year or so ago I was at Tyabb on Sunday but Tony went aerial surveying 12 months ago and we have no contact info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
