I have heard that AS2012 and REX weather will integrate with PFPX. Are there any plans to integrate OPUS weather?

Hello!

 

On the new Angel of Attack 737 video, they are using PFFX and there are couple of weather options available (Rex and AS2012 including). One of them was real world weather.

 

In case you stick to flying in current weather (not historic) and Opus depicts weather conditions correcly, you could use real weather for planning. I think the real world weather comes from NOAA.

yea cant wait till the pfpx comes out should be soon hopefully

Thats good to hear, Thanks.

We think PFPX will be compatible with OpusFSX but we have yet to try it, the latest I heard it was being released shortly after Christmas...

Just went back and checked the videos of the beta PFPX. Here are the current options for weather:

• None
  
• Online (from PFPX server)
  
• Component (Head/tail wind, ISA deviation)
  
• Fixed (direction/speed, ISA dev)
  
• Manual profile (direction/speed + ISA dev for 6 fixed flight levels)
  
• Active Sky
  
• REX
  

It might be that Opus and PFPX developers have to get in contact with each other for OpusFSX to be included. If Opus could also contact FSBuild and FS Flight Keeper developers, you would have one more Opus customer. Pretty please?

 

Until then, other weather sources might be required during flight planning.

Definitely getting PFPX, it would be a disaster if OPUS is not compatible.

We believe the PFPX server uses NOAA and GRIB data, we have asked them to confirm, if so it will be compatible with OpusFSX.

It is now confirmed that the PFPX server uses data compatible with OpusFSX.

Great news! Thanks for the confirmation
