All of the things on the Feeback Summary just keep moving to the right, and moving to the right.

Makes me wonder why they bother producing it at all.  It's obvious after a year that the internal decisions on what needs to be done are what matters, and this feedback summary stuff is just fancy PR to try to placate people.

This is a pity. In FSX external programs were able to get weather data via SimConnect and FSUIPC. For example Radar Contact used that to assign runways in use (if it couldn't detect that by active AI traffic) and to provide its ATIS information. If it will only be available to the aircraft systems/gauges that's a major restriction.

Not very well. FSX couldn't give you location of clouds precisely or advise where there was precipitation that made a useful weather radar almost impossible. ActiveSky eventually fixed this after many years by injecting very specific weather locations to the simulator, rather than submitting something general (weather stations) and reading back what the simulator had generated.
