I want to see the case this is happening in MSFS. If you can post an image will help.

Thanks

This was just a example what would happen with "wrong" matching to cloud models in P3D. MSFS for sure will handle it otherwise (probably). 

I think METAR can not be that good as real live weather based on Data Navblue provides. You simply can NOT confince me anymore! I had several questions and they are answered partly and "soft". Differences between "should" and "does" are small by wording but big in terms of visuals in the sim.

To many important answers standing out. Same things that bothered me with REX for P3D. You simply don´t learn from customer requirements and drop support for updated products much to quick.

Fact is, that REX WF in MSFS has issues and customers are complaining to much. look at this topic! Why? Yes, that question REX should ask themselves.

I do see to much (old) problems with REX EF and MSFS, compared ones to P3D.

Flat clouds! as in P3D even v 4.5 and v5 without EA have Flat clouds, horrible, like the reports of big squares of weather, again a P3D problem, could you post some shots as I have never seen flat clouds or any grids in MSFS, sorry to hear you now have them.😞 the flat clouds I mean, other have the square patterns sadly.

Please post an image. Do you have any proof? Thanks

Draw-backs:

  • METAR station weather, will be injected and depicted everywhere in all directions.
  • Cloud/weather smoothing (possible cloud-redraws?).

Plus is not guarantee to continue to work as *seems* that Asobo does not want 3rd party developers to interact with the weather due to some stability reasons perhaps as being reported in Hifi forums. Hoping we get an answer from REX in regards to this

I am talking to others, I never said I do, did I? please try to follow a topic Federico. it really helps. I even asked the guy to show us and quoted him. It really bothers me your lack of reading though topics and just jumping in with ill thought out reply's.

Is it just me or its looks as the community refuses to settle on 50% products anymore as were in previous platforms. e.g ORBX London landmarks, MAYBE ! this one. 

Even with all the issues and bugs, Asobo/MS has set a pretty high standards.

That simply isnt true. I will make screenshots that prove you are wrong. 

I am not sure what you mean REX changes cloud textures.  Can you explain what you mean?  There is no code or modification of textures I can assure you.

Because if you are practicing ILS approaches and expect 300 foot ceiling and 1 mile visibility, clear skies will not offer you a proper simulation. The eye-candy MSFS weather is cute but when I try to shoot an approach with 1 mile vis and I can’t see 400 feet in front of me I just wasted my flight. So I will get it because it is the only solution for somewhat accurate weather NOW. When I want pretty, dynamic weather with no regard to reality I will pick a theme in MSFS. When I want weather that closely simulates the METAR I will use REX. 

I don’t get the hate man. These guys have given us an option and I appreciate it. If you don’t like it, don’t buy it! I spent $42 on two pieces of chicken, mashed potatoes and okra last night at a restaurant. Oh, an banana pudding. I could have bought this twice. Chill folks. It’s not a tax. If you don’t want it, don’t buy it. 

Real weather changes from metars most often than you think.. 

But I understand your point.. The whole porpoise of the sim is to be challenging otherwise is word not allowed boring..

WF has injected the correct weather and MSFS has responded accordingly. WF has no  ability to draw its own clouds. It just provides the weather conditions and the sim does the rest.

But which condition varies more from the real world weather? Almost real time data from a worldwide network of METAR stations or weather forecasts?

Haw about a Free trial. I'm not convinced...yet.

Because as "your existing customer" with lots of your products,, none being updated on another plattform, I see AGAIN a new product wich to me is unclear about its benefits within a SIM wich offers probably much more accurate data compared to static METAR wich on top probably uses a way to inject weather that causes stutters, unreal looks, shaking planes, wrong data or not even accurate automation like REX promisses.

look at some videos, read the post here and watch the complains in your Discord and other forums regarding lots of your products Reed!

REX EF has issues since day one wich still exists

REX SF same story

REX SF with partly Weather force same story

I am seeking for answers from YOU and others how this will ENHANCE the MSFS sim and HOW LONG. We are not talking about freeware here.

We are talking about a product from REX who is famous of their super marketing but has issues with support and updating their productline!

That is why Reed. Sorry to be that clear. But I am not the first one who is telling you this. Right?

Please let us know when you are able to accomplish this (outside of rain).  Interested in seeing a video. REX even showed a screenshot in their initial marketing press release where the Metar showed 5 miles visibility and yet the shot was still still showing unlimited visibility.  So REX isn't even going to give you the correct visibility from what it appears so far....

can I please have a summary of what is going on.

Same stuff that normally goes on. A new product gets released, some people are thrilled, some are annoyed, some are indifferent, some complain about it because that's their default position for everything, some use it as an excuse to complain about the price of cheese at their local supermarket or some other completely unrelated issue. In between this, some, who have actually bought the thing, report on it. Whilst all this goes on, a countdown timer starts to see how many pages the thread can make it to before it gets locked, then when it does, everyone goes and watches a youtube review of it and decides whether or not they want it.
