A lot of our development focus is laying foundations to later build upon, so trueSKY -> Dynamic Weather -> then we can look at what we would need to do to implement RL weather. Give people power to really test their personality.

After all, MS never published any explanation of their .x file format, yet it has been very well deconstructed by Arno for his marvelous ModelConverterX program years ago. Fr.

I thought they published it here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc526973.aspx But I'm not surprised if it was reverse-engineered, given what's been accomplished with BGL formats (including CVX files).

Without any context, simply listing parameters and a list of possible values just isn't sufficient. Fr.

EDIT: I hope that DTG will be more open about file formats than Microsoft was. Barry Friedman
