For taking the initiative and adding table view, the ability to choose a variable

The “Productivity” subcategory of “Modules” has a paper airplane icon. I just saw that! :-)

I’m loving this module. I found, however, that I was getting multiple results for some airports where the METAR had changed more than once in the last hour. That was easily fixed by editing the .js to add ‘&mostRecentForEachStation=true’ to the end of the url. And because I’m not a pilot, I couldn’t remember what the red, blue, green, etc colours meant, so I hardcoded those in as well. Much more useful to me now!

I’m not a pilot either. I made this module by request of a few users. It was quite an ambitious undertaking for me as I was still quite a novice then. (I still am). Once I had the module working well enough, another user sent me a PR which included a more elegant, efficient way of coding the module as well as some table magic.

I’m glad you are enjoying the module and thank you for your kind words.

@mykle1 If I wanted to increase the font size for the entire line (mode: rotating,) which css element would need to be edited?

For your custom.css file. It works. I just tested it before posting. Modify to your liking.

.MMM-PilotWX .bottom_bar {
   color: cyan;        /* Color line. Default is white. */
   font-size: .9em;    /* Or you can use Ex. 12px */
}

Yep, that works. Perfect. Thank you.

Loving this module, but for some reason the list doesn’t appear in the same order that I entered them in the config.

Is there a way to fix that?

No, they wouldn’t. The divs are dynamically created based on the return from the API. The most recent item (timestamped) will always be at the top, dropping down as more recent data comes in. So, there is nothing to fix.

Of course, you can always fork the repo and make any changes you like.
