Getting AS WX in FS9

Featured Replies

Is there a program (like an ACARS program/gauge) that will report the weather that is at the current destination.Alot of these types of program only report METARS from the internet. With suppression ranges and different updating times and what not, it is possible that the reported METAR or a station on a website may be quite different to the data that Active Sky is using.So what I need is a program that either interrogates Active Sky for station weather reports or scans the weather settings inside FS itself.I use Radar Contact, and can get destination weather through that, but I have to be close to the destination airport.Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Phil,I suggest using FlightWatch built in to AS. Turn on the Voice ATIS/FlightWatch option, process a flightplan in AS, and tune a Comm to 127.00Let me know what you think!Thanks,Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/Active Sky V6 Development Team Active Sky V6 Proud SupporterHiFi Beta TeamRadar Contact Supporter: http://www.jdtllc.com/AirSource Member: http://www.air-source.us/FSEconomy Member:http://www.fseconomy.com/

Ah, forgot about Flight Watch. I did use this in the past-can't remember why I stopped. But it certainly is a better and easier option than using the weather report function in Radar Contact.One question though. The report for Heathrow gives the visibility in statute miles. In reality, Heathrow, as the rest of Europe, report the visibilty in kilometers (and then meters below 1km). Would it be possible to incoporate this in a later version?
