How does ActiveSky wxRE compare to FSMeteo? I like the wake turbulence but I regularly fly to aircraft carriers and FSMeteo has micro climates to align the wind to match ArrestorCables carriers. I'm trying to decide which program to purchase.

I would say "Hang on in there for WxRE..." but then maybe i'm biased! :-lol

Will WxRE include micro climates for Arrestor Cables carriers?

Perhaps?! What are micro climates? How do they work? Sounds like manual setting of weather for certain areas, which can be done using features already built into ActiveSky wxRE (namely, the custom write weather option and ability to build you own METAR stations and offline/preset weather data). Hope that helps!-Damian[table border=0" cellspacing="30" cellpadding="0][tr][td align = "left"]Damian ClarkHiFi Simulation SoftwareDeveloper of ActiveSkyThe next-generation weather environment simulation for FS2002!http://hifi.avsim.net/activesky[/td][td]http://hifi.avsim.net/activesky/images/wxresmallbanner.jpg][/td][/tr][/table://http://hifi.avsim.net/activesky/ima...][/tr][/table

I would too like to see micro-climates in wxRE. Micro-climates are a FSMeteo term for mini weather areas around all aircraft carriers in FS2002 (including the Waikato if I'm right). In these mini areas the wind is set according to the approach course of the carriers landing deck. This is done regardless of the actual METAR wind direction. Hope it is clear now. Although you say it is possible to manualy set the weather in wxRE, it would still be handy to automatically have the correct wind direction around aircraft carriers.

Hi, can someone supply me with a list of carriers you want this to apply to with their lat/lon coords? If so I will do something a little better for more realistic carrier winds :)-Damian[table border=0" cellspacing="30" cellpadding="0][tr][td align = "left"]Damian ClarkHiFi Simulation SoftwareDeveloper of ActiveSkyThe next-generation weather environment simulation for FS2002!http://hifi.avsim.net/activesky[/td][td]http://hifi.avsim.net/activesky/images/wxresmallbanner.jpg][/td][/tr][/table://http://hifi.avsim.net/activesky/ima...][/tr][/table

Here's a link to the Arrestor Cables sitehttp://www.speakeasy.org/%7Erhogen/arrestorcables.htmAll the carriers are there except the default ones in FS.From time to time we put our own carriers in different locations. It would be nice to have a simple way to enter the lat & long to create a new micro-climate. By the way, everything except the wind direction within the micro-climate is the same in FSMeteo. This way is appears seamless with the surrounding weather.Thanks for your help. If you can do this you're going to get many more fans!
