The real weather option does work, I fly with it almost all the time now. It knows how to fetch the local weather automatically so you don't need to download a weather file in advance. Depending on your network arrangement, you may need to go through a proxy or other convoluted wierdness, but if you have a direct internet connect it should work.There are a couple ways to pan the view:keyboard - shift and the number keys will pan around.mouse - click the right button once and you will enter the mouse-flight-control mode. click the right button again and you will enter the view pan mode. Click the right mouse button one more time and you will return to normal mode.You can also type "v" to cycle through the different internal/external views. "Shift-V" cycles in the reverse direction. "Ctrl-V" returns to the cockpit view.Regards,Curt.
