From the hifi forum:

 

"Now that we know where the clouds are, we decided to make a detailed accurate NEXRAD radar precipitation overlay for both the Map and the included radar gauge. Real radar simulation.. not generic station-based imagery. You see the cloud, you see the rain cell, and when you enter it, it's all synchronized. Thread the needle between cells. Realistic avoidance procedures. This overlay data is also coming soon to aircraft NDs as we are working on an interface of our radar data to aircraft developers."

_{I read the entire transcript....very interesting indeed. Might be my next FSX purchase.}

 

_{Thx for the info Boaz!}

 

_Rgds,

Good stuff, but what FPS hit will this program have on FSX?

No need to worry.

"Speaking of entering clouds... be careful.. especially with those thunderstorms. They now can render your aircraft uncontrollable if the conditions are right (and your decision making is wrong). Synchronized turbulence and updrafts/downdrafts are here (and we can't forget about the new microbursts and redesigned wind shear effects).

Turbulence is also redesigned (along with wind shear), bypassing the FS-internal simulation. Vertical and horizontal wind action affects your aircraft realistically."

 

Wow wow wowwwwww...my head just exploded.

 

Can't wait!!

OO my god, finally!!! We are about to hear the sound that was muted from the beginning of FS...

 

WIND SHEAR, WIND SHEAR!!!

You spend more time in the air than you do on the ground and in it's current form weather engines are pretty sterile.

iam glad to hear that,

 

owning the RXP WX500 so i can say, with this older version the performance impact is very small to nothing and have a high refresh rate. years ago i modded another wx radar behind the vc magenta line (level-D 767)... more or less iam a "wx junkie", so i cant wait for this new real thing from Reality XP hehe.
