June 15, 20196 yr @Paraffin I fully agree.. I actually think they should consider a move away from worrying about matching real world conditions out the window at a given moment and just worry about having real world realistic and believable weather in the Sim itself if it would help.
June 15, 20196 yr 27 minutes ago, Paraffin said: My ideal imaginary future sim would tap into local radar data available online, and then generate thunderstorms as individual, fully modeled and dynamic 3D storms based on the red hot spots in the local wx radar data. That's how to do this, not just grabbing a METAR from the nearest airport and throwing that into the sim as "real weather." If we're talking about next generation sims, let's really get there with weather modeling as well as sexy terrain. The USA and Europe at least, have a network of realtime radar weather data that a sim should be able to use, with enough money thrown at the problem. 24 minutes ago, irrics said: I actually think they should consider a move away from worrying about matching real world conditions out the window at a given moment and just worry about having real world realistic and believable weather in the Sim itself if it would help. I think the problem is more to do with a narrow focus on a specific weather station and very little attempt look at the wider picture or to extrapolate what's happening between sites. Rather than ditch trying to match what's going on live outside the window, a better method may be to take a macro view of a continent's weather, e.g.https://www.windy.com/-Clouds-clouds?clouds,49.525,-4.878,5 Check out all of the layer options on the menu bar. Much more information provided than a simple METAR and TAF, with modelling of forecasted meteorological conditions rather than 'here's what the reported weather is at ground station X, now replicate'.

November 22, 20196 yr New interview with Phil Spencer: "STANDARD: Will we even be buying games in five years? Spencer: Absolutely. That's why I'm against the Game Pass being called the "Netflix for Games". You can buy a game from us - that's the difference. That's what our customers want. So why should we deny them the opportunity to buy a game?"
