Im sure this has been asked however I can t seem to find an answer so bear with me. I have used AS2012 since its early days and I hate the way it take forever to load and never seems to be right.

 

I personally enjoy finding some nasty weather in the USA and flying my PMDG-737 NGX into a good IFR approach. With AS2012 I can download the lastest METAR turn off real time updates and fly to it, when i get there the weather will or should be unchanged.

 

I looked through the Opus docs. and even downloaded the demo thinking of buying. The one thing I couldnt seem to do what I describe above. I know you can point Opus to your own METAR file however I cant find anything that says what kind of file it wants. I pointed Opus to my AS2012 current snapshot .txt file to see if it will read it however Opus didnt seem to work.. So what am I missing here or will Opus just not do what I want it to. If it will could someone give me a heads up and if that works im sold, Opus seems to be very fast and relaiable.

Hi Mark

 

You can turn off weather updates either by setting the update time and distance to something large or by just disabling Live Weather in the Config dialog once you have downloaded your weather.

 

To import your own METAR just create a text file, the latest guide has an example.
