That would really be awesome :)

Yea, would be cool that.I have seen pretty nasty clouds reaching as high as 37,000ft as thunderheads and I always wonder what the criteria for avoid such things is.A WX radar would I'm sure give us a visual colour coded picture of whether to alter course or not.

Well I've seen a freeware panel released with a fully functional TCAS and Wx radar in it. If this can be done with freeware, it can surely be done with a top class addon. I'm be surprised if it wasnt included to be honest...John http://homepage.eircom.net/~eamonnmca/images/logo_ba.JPGwww.bavirtual.co.uk Senior Captain Simflight.com Staff Reviewer

Jim,We mean a ND WX. Not one of yours which BTW. I also have and I think its a great WX display but it would be even greater if we had a WX in the ND itself with a Tilt + or -. :( :) :D

it is possible, Reality XP did it...

[Guest FattyBear]

If it's not in the feature list, it probably won't happen. Something like that they would want to brag about.

I certainly hope it is included! Remeber that there are things not listed on the web page that we will see. Marc stated things are not 100% set. I KNOW I will be askin for it too ;-)Best Wishes,[h4]Randy J. Smith[/h4][h3]P M D G's 747-400[/h3][h4]coming to a runway near you[/h4][/font color]Caution!

actually...you know what would be even better?if FS WX actully realistically impacted your flight enough that you would have to avoid it.

Try 55,000 feet for serious CB clouds -- in the equatorial region.I've seen 'em a lot (in real life) ....but never had to fly through them or over them, thankfully !Jonathan

Weather radar? would be nice :9But flying only online i suspect it would not be that useful at this time, there would be a need for a remake of the VATSIM (or any other network...) protocol integrating weather, so all pilots and ATCs had the same (hmmm wx overlays for controllers... ) then the WX radar would really be useful :DBTW: This would probably request a new FS WX Engine too.... :(Ciao, Luca

I really think FS's weather depiction needs to get a lot better before it would actually be practical for a sim pilot to use a weather radar - there's no penalty in the sim for flying through storms the way there is in real life - you're not going to get the wings ripped off in FS. [;)]

Good point Luca, but I
