Hi Gary, Yes I was aware that LOOP2 is in 4.0 . Point I was trying to raise is that having them available is good , saving them to the database would be great! By not saving some of the new the observations to the database there usefulness is severely limited. Carefully double checked the new database schema and not finding: windSpeed2 windSpeed10 windGust10 windGustDir10 THSW
