REX WX Advantage Radar, AS16, And The Real Thing

[basementflyguy 156]

Today on a PilotEdge flight I came upon a line of popup thunderstorms crossing over the north rim of the Grand Canyon. In addition to making for interesting flying, it gave me a chance to compare the real-world radar on ForeFlight with the REX WX Advantage Radar in the sim and the clouds in the simulated sky (via AS 16). All told, it was very realistic. See this shot which shows the real world radar on the iPad with the WX radar on the dash. I've circled my position on ForeFlight. The sim and real echoes are about the right distance, angle, intensity, etc. It was cool.

That is GREAT! I would love to experience a flight in your setup.
