Poor Luna doesn't like to read. It's the worst video review I've ever seen, but I'm grateful that he did the video in that manner because it shows what happens when users blindly go about testing a new add-ons. Maybe REX will learn from the video and actually make the add-on more user friendly.

Once the airport is selected on WF and clear skies are set on MSFS menu, if I hit inject I should see the right airport info and weather immediately. I hope that the injection speed is increased.

It uses a smoothing algorithm to change weather, wind, clouds and all variables without instant impact on injection. 

The product should update itself automatically with the sim update.

The addon should pick up the weather and inject it, as soon as the servers tell the addon needs an update.

Thanks

- are there any known issues on 1)

- Thanks. 

- should pick up.....or DOES it actually pickup the weather or does it have issues?

Last ones:

• Does ASOBO/MSFS support your Addon or do they not recommend because the would like to keep these kind of functionallity within the core engine of the sim (NavBlue)?
• Can we expect your Addon to work with MSFS for at least 6 months or longer? Or is there a chance MSFS/Asobo are locking the "used way" of your addon so that it will become unusable?

Thanks for answering out of 1.Hand!

Above: Weatherforce. Below: Default MSF. 

The second picture, showing MSFS live weather, shows the problem I was referring to earlier: it looks way too dark. If REX solves or lessens this issue as seems to be case in your first pic, that alone to me is worth the price of the addon.

And also I am really struggling to know what does it mean they built their "own sdk"? Looking at the hifi forums answer there, for what I understood, REX has figured out sort of hack that actually Asobo doesn't want to developers to use due to stability reasons. Asobo could actually lock this hole for good by disabling this mysterious hole in simconnect in order to prevent any developers to use this in the future. It could be exactly like what LR did in X-Plane 11.5 by locking the shaders and private controls from third party developers and modders as to be honest, I recall Ben from LR used to warn third party developers and users not to mess around with the shaders and private sim variables and as the results, they locked these for good in XP11.5.

If there is an evidence that REX has really used a hack that could be potentially be locked in the future by Asobo that would be unfortunate. I would have wished if REX has worked with Asobo on finding a common approach that could help other third party developers as well like Hifi. 

Maybe if ASOBO had put a little bit more effort into creating a working "live weather" engine, REX wouldn't have to hack or fix what should be an included feature. I should NOT have to pay and additional $22 for a weather utility when I already paid $120 for a sim that claims to have realistic live weather.

I've been using AS since FS9 and I know the way realistic weather should work on a sim.

Every Microsoft Flight Simulator since FS2000 has claimed to have realistic live weather... 😆

So TRUE! LOL

But, the only thing that is different is that now we have social media forums proclaiming that the new sim actually has it and some believe it!

Thanks. That would be kind from you!

I will wait for your reply allthough I am a little shocked that a "REX Hired Dev/or Supplier" can not answer this clearly with "yes".

And I do have HiFi statement in my mind as well as my own experience with REX P3D products (wich I almost ALL own) with NON of them is working on P3D V5 Version, not even a paid upgrade after 6 Months of release.

That Rex addon is not impressive at all I may wait for Active Sky to come up with something maybe year 2024 if I am still alive when they add 3PA in MSFS

I don’t run Investor Relations for REX nor sit on the board and I am not part of the Management Team at REX, this type of questions do not pertain to my responsibility. 

Edited September 27, 20205 yr by fs1

Ok, I bought it. At $20 this is a no-brainer. 

My problem: Each and every time I start the program, I'm asked to register. I've given the program permission to cross my firewall. The folder has write permission. What am I missing?

Try disabling AV just to test.

Update: Where did you buy it?

Enjoying the impression posts, both for and con.  The debating not so much. 

Oh well, such is the nature of the internet. 🙂
