Hello there.
I was making a flight to Panama MPTO some days ago, and the wx was nice:
09005kt 9000 SCT018CB BKN090 29/25 A1010 NOSIG.
However the Virtual Dispatcher suggested diversiĆ³n because MPTO was, according to him, below minimums. See pictures attached.
I thought my minimums in the Airline options were wrong... but no. Here is the exceprt: LANDVISIBILITY=2000 LANDCEILING=500 LANDMAXWIND=20
So... what's wrong here? what am I missing? I happened to me once but in a different airport.
Any help will be appreciated

Nick, That could very well be a bug, so if you would please ZIP and email us the FCDU (& Admin, if available) logs for this flight, we'll have a looksee. It could be that the standalone FCDU was looking at your simulator weather to determine a diversion whereas you are looking at the REXe METAR. Or perhaps Sharon in the Dispatch Office may have misinterpreted something and sent a false diversion report.

I have occasionally run into this myself. Most of the time Dispatch suggests a divert I press on and try anyway, and most of the time make it in. Sometimes the weather is perfectly fine when I get there. Remember that thunderstorms (cloud type CB) will cause them to suggest divert even when everything else is ok.

Hello. Sorry for the late reply. Real life has interfered lots on my simming lately
I was looking for the logs you requested... I'm not sure if these are the 2 files you requested:
I attached the manifest for the flight where I could see the error. I managed to browse to the log folder... and found the ADMIN file... I also added a rar file with all the other log files. I hope this is the one you need.
Thanks and hope to hear from you soon.
Nick
