Plan_G will show both TAFs and METARs if you mouse over an airport, if that's the kind of thing you're looking for. It'll also include the data in a printed flight plan for any stations included in the route. But it is live data - getting historical data is somewhat more specialised.
Nah, the Windows 10 update stuffed it. Would no longer boot or anything, wouldn't even reload Windows 7. My iMac is OSX-only now, pure as the driven snow.
I paid £10 for my first joystick. Just saying.
It was crap.
Seriously though, I have an X-52 and it's a nice stick. It worked fine plugged into USB3 on my old iMac running in Windows mode (it might not have had an xHCI, not that I know what that is).
