Winds aloft...

[jcomm 5,938]

Although I installed the NOAA plugin ( latest available version ) I believe that Ben has re-enabled the download of winds aloft a few updates ago.

 

Are those winds just for the USA or for the whole Planet ?

 

And, are the temperatures also updated now with just the default XP10 weather engine ?

 

Thx for any enlightenment

There is a thread on this very subject over at the org..

Basically it's USA only which seems half-baked given that plugins like noaa can cover the whole X-Plane world. Weather is Austin's territory so don't hold your breath!

Jose I was spot ON

You were!  Know me better than my wife :-)

 

... plus, it was a single install ( well PSX stays forever, just as PS1 ... and looks great with the externals provided by xp10... )

 

Why ?... Don't ask me ...

 

For how long ?... Ehehe - no one asks me that anymore... not even me asks me such a complex question ....

 

At least, it's a lot less stressing and time consuming than air combat, and also a lot less useless, since I can use my spare time away from the PC to read nice aerodynamics stuff, study a bit of scripting in SASL or even Python, dream of fine tuning the prop effects :-), instead of reading maybe great, but IMO totally useless stuff about ACMs...
