REX Weather Force 2020 for Microsoft's Flight Simulator

Featured Replies

OK first impression.

Weather change dynamically along the route. "B" key works once airborne. There are noticeable fps drop once in a while. I'm running 4k in ultra, so I assume it happens during leading next chunk of weather update.

Enroute weather is pretty much consistent with real data I have that includes for the most part for wind aloft as well. However, there are some inconsistencies between PFD and windsock wind representation  vs ATIS and REX wind. ATIS and REX report wind correctly, PFD and windsock not. Not sure if it MSFS problem or not

Correct!

You cannot set station by station as there are no stations to set.  So we have to transition it in over time.

Ok, thanks! Appreciate your effort anyway!

As far as I can see, this question brought up here earlier hasn't been answered clearly so far. So you can take the opportunitiy to clarify right here:

 

 

To answer your questions it depends on where and if there are reports nearby to affect the metar.  In micro climates such as mountainous regions that may be hard to resolve without the data.

To better understand, what altitude is that airport at?

At the surface of airport or airport elevation MSL (whichever it is for two airport). So far I tried CYLW and PAKT. ATIS report correct weather. But wind sock and PFD weather vector shows different thing

This strengthens my suspicion that the wind gradient Asobo programmed into the weather system is wrong. They tried to implement a system that accounts for terrain and buildings influencing wind on the ground and as you climb the wind gets stronger. But the gradient reduces the reported ground level wind instead of increasing it in the air.

So it seems! We need to post in on MSFS forum and upvote!

I appreciate if you start referring to facts. Please read back all your posts. Your first post on the thread was a valid question. After that, you have just not been helpful nor objective. Thanks

I do not know where this argument about emails started, but in total defence of  rstough, I have always had a  speedy and mostly positive response from him. I do not think harking back to FSX days and methods of installation are particularly relevant, if the installation is smooth.  Having said that though, I do love the ease of installation of add-ons for MSFS and this would appear to be a departure from the "norm" I have not downloaded this yet so other than that observation, I shall stay out of this argument.

One last thing, I cannot imagine rstough being nasty as a normal part of his companys' communications, as it is simply counterproductive and certainly does not reflect his communications with me personally.

R/W ATIS reports weather in degrees magnetic. METARS report the wind in degrees true. If the airport wind is being injected directly from the METAR without adjusting for local magnetic variation, that could account for the discrepancy.

So does REX Weather Force inject different weather for different locations at the same time or only one weather globally at a time, which changes globally over time?

To give a specific example: If I take off from EDDM where the METAR reports clear skies and look south, will I see the thunderstorm that is reported by the METAR for LOWI at the same time?

Trying it now. Looks like the weather is injected globally. So no flying from weather system to weather system still...Devs correct me please if i am wrong. But using the NEXRAD function on the G1000 one can clearly see the Patterns reaching from Horizon to horizon.

Taking off at 3kts of wind....now at FL200 and still 3kts.

The depiction overall looks great but the globally injected weather is a big no no for me. sorry!

So REX ruins the advances made by Asobo? 🤔

So no longer do we have different weather systems, visible to the horizon, instead it's back to the FSX/P3D days of a single global weather system, with visually jarring weather reloads? 🤔

If this is true then how can anyone seriously think this is better than what Asobo has achieved?

I notice the REX guy fails to respond to this, despite being asked several times. 🤦‍♂️
