FSX weather tool

[bursco 14]

Any use to anybody - this weather tool or am I behind times.http://www.microsoft.com/games/flightsimul.../downloads.html

You can't be behind the times with that application since FSX isn't even out yet :)I can't use that wx program, as I don't have FSX, but I will try it as soon as FSX is out. Sounds interesting.RhettAMD 3700+, eVGA 7800GT 256, ASUS A8N-E, PC Power 510 SLI, 2 GB Corsair XMS 3-3-3-8, etc. etc.

You don't need FSX to run it. It's a standalone program that essentially downloads weather from the weather servers to show what the weather is at a particular location.

Oh, well in that case I will probably d/l it, wx always interests me.RhettAMD 3700+, eVGA 7800GT 256, ASUS A8N-E, PC Power 510 SLI, 2 GB Corsair XMS 3-3-3-8, etc. etc.

'Deed, one can always use another look at the weather. And thanks to the OP for the link.:D

Would be great - and perhaps in the spirit of the more inclusive and internationally oriented FSX - if it also was possible to access airports outside the US ;-) Lars

Indeed but EKAH 301950Z 24004KT 9999 MIFG FEW030 12/12 Q1010 (METAR from my local airport provided by your link) does require a bit of interpretation for some of us;-) Lars

Jim; He might also tryhttp://adds.aviationweather.gov/metars/ as it gives the option of either "raw" as the example he listed, or"translated" for us common folk. After 2 or three times of comparing a raw/translated you're ableto decipher the raw...if you want to.
