Hi! I need some knowledge from you. Does my weather rader in my B747 works together with REX SkyForce weather engine? For now I use AS+ASCA. Is it possible to automatically download wx+ data into my PMDG B747-400 FMC? Does PMDG B747-400 weather radar show present weather in the navigation display in the PMDG B747-400 cockpit when I use REX Sky Force 3D? Can I see the weather in my navigation display?

The only developer of weather engines that has coordinated with PMDG is HiFi and their Active Sky products.  There is quite a lot of Active Sky vs REX SkyForce stuff right here in avsim such as:

I've not read anything that indicates the REX weather engine is any better than Active Sky so what is that you are trying to accomplish?

if you look for the skyforce visuals afaik you can use skyforce and inject the weather from AS

Yes, I run my weather in that configuration. Sky Force do not works together with B744. I have now tested. Still I can download RTE data from Sky Force into my FMC but no visual in the ND.

Oscar,

I expect that we will be putting some developer time toward interfacing with REX over the next few months.

Glad to hear that :)

Great!

When running SkyForce are you disabling the built-in weather engine and only using the AS one?

Disable the builtin engine. I only use AS engine.
