Live weather

[mwilk 1,104]

Sometimes live weather is a complete bust and other times it's pretty accurate. This is the current metar at KDFW:  KDFW 031653Z 33016G24KT 3/4SM R17C/3500V4500FT SN VV017 M06/M08 A3024 RMK AO2 PK WND 34027/1636 PLE34 SLP243 P0049 T10561078

This is pretty accurate to live weather as depicted in the screen shot. We actually have more snow on the ground than MSFS shows but that's to be expected.

It looks good, but there isn't much to get wrong when the visibility is that low.

Since SU7 have not had live wx at all. Supposed fix coming in SU8...
