How does the PMDG aircrafts communicate with weather? (ie: Wind Speed and Direction?)

http://www.skybrary.aero/index.php/Inertial_Navigation_System_%28INS%29

 

To quote the article,

"

Inertial Outputs

As well as raw acceleration data in all planes and axes, typical Inertial outputs fed to other aircraft avionics and systems include, but are not limited to:

  • Pitch and Roll
  • True and Magnetic Heading
  • True Air Speed (TAS) and Ground Speed (G/S)
  • Latitude, Longitude and (inertial) Altitude
  • Wind Speed and Direction, and Drift Angle
  • Pitch, Roll and Yaw
  • Vertical Speed and Rate

Jim,

 

Thanks for responding, but that is not what I am referring to. The aircrafts do not display "wind speed and direction" in either the Nav Display nor aft Overhead Panel. It has always functioned properly, but for some reason it will no longer read the weather. I have uninstalled and re-installed the aircraft, but trying to come to some solution before going to the extreme of uninstalling and re-installing FSX.
