January 20, 20188 yr Hi, I am having difficulty getting FSX to generate the correct weather. every time i fly from FAOR to FACT FSX will always have the wind show in my PMDG at 276 degrees. FSXWX shows different at 170 degrees which is the correct wind direction..the FSXWX is more realistic as i can see aircraft from where i live and they were landing on runway 19 however on my PMDG the wind direction shows 270 degrees which is OK for runway 01. I'm not sure if it is FSX or PMDG. also i see AI landing and departing off on runway 01.
January 20, 20188 yr Administrators The real weather in FSX doesn't update the servers from time to time. That has been going on for several many years. Use what makes you the happiest.

January 20, 20188 yr Yes, the stock MS real weather is not really real-time weather. For real weather you really need a third party weather engine. Now when it comes to active runway assignment, I have found that FSX is a bit funky and does not always activate the runway that would be the most logical with a given wind direction.

January 20, 20188 yr I can highly recommend getting one of the third party weather engines / weather textures. I didn't do this until about 18 months ago but I regret not installing these years earlier as the difference they made to the appearance of FSX and degree of immersion when flying compared to using stock FSX weather was immense!
