November 11, 201312 yr Referencing a post I made in the FSX forum: http://forum.avsim.net/topic/425734-interesting-weather-in-the-us-midwest-tomorrow/ Assuming something like Active Sky or OPUS is available for XPX, I'm not sure..... Thanks, Bruce. ASEL, Instrument. KBJC, Colorado.
November 11, 201312 yr Not really. The default weather is METAR based. Not really bad at parsing the METAR data. I also use the freeware, Python-based, NOAA weather injector for winds, turbulence and temperatures aloft. You can get it from here. Sandy's Python X-Plane interface ( 32 and 64 bit ) is available here. Basically you get an interface to set bellow which altitude you should revert to X-Plane's METAR-based RWW. You define it as a flight level, like I did for 060 in the picture bellow taken from my X-Plane 10.25b3 NOAA plugin settings menu. The only problem right now is that while the NOAA plugin injects weather according to forecasts, X-Plane's RWW is based on observations, and there is usually an abrupt transition as you cross you "transition level" :-) I believe the author might come up with a smoothing algorithm, but I also know that there is at least a 3pd doing an excellent weather injector for FSX considering an X-Plane 10 version - FSGRW.
