Help me to create weather radar on XML!!!

I looked for a way to do it a long time ago! What I found in the SDK was ONE usable variable dealing with clouds; "AMBIENT IN CLOUD".I couldn't find any way via the SDK to "look ahead" at environmental data.I'm pretty sure a Weather RADAR, beyond just dummying up a display, will require a series of simconnect queries into the sim.If there is an app available to accurately find the location of clouds, high winds, and rain, I'm not aware of it.Not knowing simconnect, or, "C" for that matter, ended my attempt before it got started...Don

It cannot be done. Period. There is no functionality in FS to create an accurate "weather radar" at all, not even via C++ gauge or SimConnect. Clouds are randomly drawn in 3d space... :(

Those are FAKE "radar" displays... No, you cannot access them via XML either.

FS doesn't provide enough weather information to develop an even remotely accurate weather radar. Anyone who provides a weather radar that is accurate has most definitely hacked into FS itself.

Fake or not Reality-XP's weather radar depicts what I see in front of my cockpit windows. I also use PT's Groza Radar which I like very much.....both very much more than the usual fake weather radars. IMHO :(

And yet the facts remain the same... FS itself doesn't provide (legally) enough information to create an accurate weather radar... thus if they're "accurate"... they broke the rules, the law... etc and hacked their way into FS to accomplish.
