With FSX/P3D if I press Shift + Z it shows the current wind, how do I do this in MSFS 2020 ?

I have mainly been flying in Europe due to the fact that 80% of the time I can actually have live weather that gives me clouds and wind at the same time. Unlike the US where I may or may not have cloud but only ever 3 kts of wind.

While flying I have been using Windy as a reference and it has been fairly accurate in agreeing with what the G1000 is telling me. Definitely plausible with what you would expect in real life. Also QNH and wind predictions for landing have been ok.

Such a disappointment that something better could not have been provided for release giving us some access to weather data from the sim.

Hey, we've been through this before.  On the 27th they'll post the specific date they'll tell us when the new patch will be ready. <shakes head>

I'd been using Little Navmap in the Beta to get wind speed and direction, for as much good as it did me.  Little Navmap is supposed to work now if you disable AI traffic, otherwise you get stutters.  Maybe they'll update it... 

"I'll let you know next week when an update will be ready."  Hm, that's a good generic announcement, never has to be changed! 😄
