New FAA weather/webcam website

Featured Replies

This may be old news to many users, but I thought I'd post it for those unfamiliar with the site...

With the re-release of some of Orbx's Alaska products for MSFS, I visited the FAA webcam site after a long break and was redirected to the latest version. They've made some interesting improvements, especially when it comes to integrating all the info on the map. Here is an example with PAKT selected:

https://weathercams.faa.gov/map/-132.94433,54.61279,-128.35479,56.27324/airport/KTN/details/camera

I especially like the way it shows the sectors (clickable!) covered by the different weather cameras, plus some of the existing stuff, such as "clear day" comparison pics for each camera, etc. By clicking Airport Info (bottom right), you also get instant access to current arrival/departure procedures, approach plates, etc.

Hope it's useful info 😉

EDIT: I've just noticed that you can now display sectionals, just click "VFR Planning" etc. at the bottom of the menu on the left. 🙂
