Yeah, that would be nice. Especially since HiFi guys have been doing just that since a few days already And clearly there is some confusion here since i am not the only one asking for the same clarification

Will PMDGs radar and FMS wind input work with this?

More info here. Link goes to the flightsimcon REX presentation.

"Sound Awareness for Severity of Weather

 

We are now able to sync specialized environment sounds WITHIN a flight. These sound responses, including hail sounds mostly appear within supercell and severe weather conditions. In the event that a tornado warning is in effect, you will hear realistic tornado sirens in the distance, and only while on the ground at the airport."

 

Sounds amazing.

 

But also does seem to answer my question, seems it can do all this on METAR data alone. They also state it's compatible with ALL weather engines. So this + AS16 to be the go-to combo?

 

Oh and, wow.

 

METAR  alone is kinda subjective to observers and those who report the conditions which may be prone to errors from delays or just merely thier viewpoint on what they see at the airport. May not necessarily be the weather thats happening miles away or thousands of feet up. But then again we cant expect exact conditions within the realms of a simulator.

 

Screenshots look quite good which much better representation. So nice to see continuous improvements within our hobby even if it means another paid product. No one ever claimed this hobby to be cheap.

well that is really cool. you can almost see a face on the funnel if you look close.

Rex has posted more information and screenshots in this PDF from their website: http://www.rexsimulations.com/skyforce.pdf

 

Here are a few screenshots including tornados!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Like all good things ....I am sure time will reveal all that is to come.

Looks nice. I hope everything is scaled and placed as beautifully in P3D. If so, I will buy without hesitation and drop ASN.

It is not a weather engine, it will work with ASN.

The beauty of the package is that it can be used with any weather generator - even FSX's default weather engine

The treatment of rain columns in shots 6 and 7 solves my biggest weather gripe with existing weather depictions...

Ahhh, well that is good and bad in my view. ASN+REX was stunning in FSX. Since switching to P3D, I have never regained that sense of "wow." Was hoping for a new weather engine designed to work specifically with REX textures.

 

Based on my experience I would expect this to look amazing in FSX and decent on P3D.

 

I've still never really wrapped my head around why cloud formations look so different in P3D (vs FSX) despite using the same plugins. The clouds render smaller and tile more often in my opinion. 

I wonder what kind of performance hit we can look forward to… And how well my yearned after GTX 1080 will fair...

Sold is right - thanks for sharing - wow  

 

This is an insane shot   :wink:
