Hi

 

Does anyone else experience problems with REX abruptly changing the weather? I often see very sudden cloud changes and/or movement as well as wind shifts. I have turned on cloud smoothing and wind smoothing, however this does not seem to have much of an effect.

 

If anybody could help that would be great.

 

Thanks

I think this is bound to happen with ANY weather generator. Eventually the METAR is changed, even if the program can interpolate the weather between stations...

 

For the wind shifts I'm not sure, I know a lot of programs says they've fixed it but have you also tried FSUIPC wind smoothing?

Hi,

 

I'm not sure but doesn't it say something in the REX manual to the effect that you may experience sudden weather changes in REX depending on the number of weather stations within range of the position of your aircraft at the time the next weather update is applied.

 

If you have FSUIPC you can set it to smooth the wind speed and direction so it doesn't hit your plane quite so suddenly.

 

Happy flying,

Its kind of odd. I have my weather set to refresh every 15 minutes, however I seem to get these problems far more often than that, maybe every few minutes.
