Wind Data Query

[Gabe777 132]

So I am seeing a yellow arrow with a value.

Do I assume this is the wind speed around the aircraft currently ?

I am not using Live weather but jus presets.

In the weather settings it apoears to be unable to read a metar file as it does in P3D.

So whats happening ?

 

Thank you. All other stuff is awesome, as usual  !

LNM can also read airport weather (not winds aloft) from FSX and P3D. This should show up if you select weather for "Simulator" in options.

MSFS does unfortunately not provide any weather information at all on the SimConnect interface. They disabled most functions since they completely changed the weather system compared to FSX.

Closest weather report is probably NOAA.

So how is it getting the wind direction around tge aircraft in flight ?

Different thing. MSFS provides the current environment around the aircraft but not METAR reports from airports (unlike FSX and P3D).

OK. Got you now. Thank you !
