FSX does not make WXR simulation impossible, it can be "reverse engineered" in a satisfactory if not 100% accurate way. If PMDG don't want to do that, that's their business. PWS could be simulated in conjunction with WXR. Of course the windshear so "predicted" wouldn't actually be present, but it would add to immersion and cause unexpected diversions in a semi realistic way. All purely hypothetical on this forum of course. :-)Kevin Hall

Sorry, going to have to disagree with you completely. You will never get FSX to correctly display WXR radar information. I hardly doubt PMDG would just skimp on something if it can be done accurately.

The question is about reactive wind shear, not predictive wind shear.Therefore in few words, when a wind shear happens, do NGX reacts with a warning or not ?

Exactly!

I don't want to restart the WXR debate yet again, but it can be modelled in FSX just the same as it can be modelled in a full flight simulator, which will also not have precipitation modelled to produce the weather returns. Things can be simulated without the physical information the real thing uses being available (simulation designers have to be very creative as a result). No it won't be 100% accurate or of any practical use, but it would add to immersion and completeness of the simulation.PMDG aren't skimping on WXR, they've just decided not to do it and presented a rationale (in effect "our standards are too high") which puts them in a good light. You wouldn't get very far with the FAA or CAA with such an argument though.Kevin Hall

But what about my original post which asked about Reactive wind shear? Is that modeled or just in the GPWS test?

I think you got your answer either way. Not modeled.

No, we haven't had that answer yet. PMDG may well have modelled windshear detection. All the necessary data to simulate that is available (basically airspeed, vertical speed and inertial accelerations).Kevin Hall

That was tongue in cheek. But thanks for bringing me up to speed.

Exactly, which we've neither received a yes nor no about....

PMDG makes aircraft, if you want a brand new wheater engine (giving to pmdg the possibility to develop a realistic WXR) you must speak wit ASE or REX developers... They makes that kind of programs, why they never did what you want?

There an easy way to find out the answer to your quesiton about reactive wind shear. If your flying in Wind Shear Conditions and the alarm does not go off then it is not modeled.

And you are positively, definitely, 100% sure that by flying in shear conditions it is not modeled? I don't think so. Heck, it might even be modeled and not working. All we want is a simple yes or no from PMDG about a simple question. Is reactive Windshear detection modeled?

Then put in a Support Ticket and ask! Ryan already told you guys that PWS was not modeled and RWS is probably not modeled either since it's related. Least you will find out your answer a lot faster.

PWS and RWS aren't related, PWS relies on the weather radar, RWS relies on changes in airspeed and VS as they occur...

I'm just thinking the writing is on the walls with this one by now...

Oh me too, I'm just waiting for confimation though...
