The REX winds aloft are totally broken. Often at altitude I will have no winds whatsoever, i.e. winds aloft are 9900, when in real life they will be like 2430. It's just bizarre. When REX actually generates winds aloft, they appear to be totally random, I cannot figure out where they are getting their data from. I love the REX-E textures but I can't use their weather generator. And there is no real planning feature, either.

I double that wish for historical weather. While the online flying is done with real-time weather of course, some seasonal switch for the offline hours would be nice.

 

One could cheat with archiving or even sharing those weather download files. All it needs is that weather data file for the corresponding time. If you let the REX-E soft running for a while, it will collect those.

 

Haven't had any trouble with REX-E yet. No strange things like rain with no clouds or 'advanced interpolation' giving me 30C at the one spot and 9C some 9nm away while rw data reports nice 30C all the way.

 

For the folks looking for fast texture loading times, that REX-E update (it's free!) really is recommended over the old REX. The loading times improved a lot on all texture changes. But that initial weather engine start will take quite some minutes. :Waiting:

That site certainly is a winner. I really like the concept of it.

Holy...er...um...wow. That is so cool!

Hopefully, the guy that runs this site will be including UK/Europe sometime soon

There's only sunshine in Europe. Wait, I may be mixing something up right now. :Worried: How do they call London rain?
