The old chart covering the forecast period did not have isobars so what has changed?

Yes there was an outlook chart with isobars for some time well after the end of the period covered by the forecast but that kind of info was much better obtained from the surface actual and forecast charts available from the metoffice or many other places on the internet.

The wind chart has not changed whic is a pitty because while the period of the F215 nicely covers many private pilot's flying days, the F214 still do not!

All seems to print OK for me.

Is having the cloud amount described as few, sct etc a problem? How does one read METAR and TAFs then?

The only issue I have is the fact that some more work is required to get a general idea of the freezing level in various areas.

Gald they are finally using ICAO symbols. It will make it easier for UK ppls flying abroad sudenly confronted by all those symbols.
