Thank you to GolfCharlie and Claude Code for fixing the code to work with the newly changed FAA API! They have saved a lot of time. A new image has been created and will be uploaded today and available later tonight. If you don't want or need the image, you can visit https://github.com/markyharris/livesectional and incorporate the changes into your board now.

There has been another change to the FAA API which has again broke the map. We are currently working on this. Check back for fix. If you have the fix please post it. - Mark
I have 2 airports I'm interested in using but one doesn't list flight category even though it has a METAR. The other one looks to be correct and shows FC in Foreflight but is showing White or maybe its a very light Gray, on the LED. These are KO88 and KO69 respectively. Your thoughts are appreciated before I drill holes in the board for airports that will never display correctly.
Captain Ron,
Here's the output from the FAA for K088 using this query;
https://www.aviationweather.gov/adds/dataserver_current/httpparam?dataSource=metars&requestType=retrieve&format=xml&stationString=KO88&hoursBeforeNow=10
So the FAA is not providing any data for this location. - Mark
