December 30, 201312 yr Looks promising. Is there a P3D v2 specific installer/version of the iFly 737? I have the FSX version, so I don't want to shell out again for a P3D installer. Do we know any details regarding the wx radar? Will it be a purchasable addon? Ed Haslam
December 30, 201312 yr Commercial Member Is there a P3D v2 specific installer/version of the iFly 737? I have the FSX version, so I don't want to shell out again for a P3D installer. It's a $15 upgrade fee. Aamir Thacker
December 30, 201312 yr Ok, thanks. Just been reading the iFly forum and it appears that there is no upgrade path from the FSX version to the P3D v2 version. Unless I've got it wrong - it all seems opaquely clear... So $95 + ASN to try out the weather radar in p3d is not going to happen... Ed Haslam
December 30, 201312 yr If they could get their 737 to work under windows 8.1, I might give this combo a shot. Don't really want to retrograde my setup. Mind boggling that iFly would limit their customer base... Might be a staffing problem ?
December 31, 201312 yr Seems more of a ground-based cloud radar return embedded into the ND to me... Not an aircraft WXR. --Peter Fabian
December 31, 201312 yr Seems more of a ground-based cloud radar return embedded into the ND to me... Not an aircraft WXR. I agree! It doesn't look any different to what's already available. Super VC10 into LOWI with PF3 at a cinema near you https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=298UDyNmgUA
December 31, 201312 yr Author The weather radar should be tracking data direct from ASN. Soarbywire - Avionics Engineering
January 1, 201412 yr That info is still going to be given as METARs and is interpreted as such in the sim. Whilst there ere people working on ideas. For the moment all you will see is a quasi satellite image. This weather radar "debate" goes on forever! Until such time (if ever) a developer announces that they have a weather radar that trully reflects precipitation in front of the aircraft this subject is a dead duck. Cloud representation and weather engines would have to be re-written from the ground up. Super VC10 into LOWI with PF3 at a cinema near you https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=298UDyNmgUA

That would be ASN. Check their feature list. Hook Larry Hookins Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of EarthAnd danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
