Besides that, it seems that not all airports do the tafs next to the metars. 
My closest airport (EHEH) seems to give tafs only when very severe weather 
conditions or conditions that pilots must know of exist. For regular tafs, I 
would have to go to the main airports around here (EHAM and so on), which 
are further away...

Would be nice to have taf support though..
