I am using 1.6.1 for FSX. Today the metar for PANC is wrong. The following is program's output:

Note that the PANC metar shows a time stamp of 281953Z. That's in the future as the actual time was 0505Z, Feb 28.
At that time the metar from NOAA is
PANC 280453Z 18005KT 10SM FEW008 FEW055 SCT120 M08/M09 A2983 RMK AO2 SLP104 I1000 T10831094
The altimeter settings are quite different in both cases (A2905 vs A2983).
Thanks
