Real Wx Issues?

Featured Replies

I'm not sure if it's my setup or what but the weather I'm seeing from FSX default is not even close to the current metar anyone else having issues today?...

 

FSX in game: dlhdefault.jpg

 

Current metar: KDLH 271655Z 10013KT 1/4SM R09/1000V1200FT FG VV001 09/09 A2982

 

The reason why I'm not using a third party program like RealWxLite is because their program doesn't turn on the FSX approach lights for some reason with bad weather.

FSX controls the lighting, not the WX program AFAIK

Check your FSX settings, it works fine here.

I don't have the "pilot controls lighting"

 

It's weird because default wx engine "turns on" the lighting system when wx is bad, but not this program... argh

That's for the airplane lighting, not the runway/approach lights.

 

I wish FSX modeled PCL Pilot Controlled Lighting.
