Let's hope REX is thinking of incorporating historical weather into WF.

They once said they would. But this was long ago and I never saw it mentioned recently.

Kind regards, Michael

Goodbye flying, welcome tweaking hell again.

Only if you buy all that word not allowed. 😉

The only payware addons I use are FSHud (because default ATC really is TOO bad), the Fenix A320 (because it simply is the best) and Navigraph (because er... well, obviously). (The only freeware I use is the JPL C152 and LNM whenever I fly that one.) No tweaking here, only heavenly flying!

I'd rather Asobo just got the weather right (or back to pre-SU7....wishful thinking I know!) than having to rely on yet another 3rd party app to "claim" they have the bestest evah!!!!!1

It's not clear to me when the weather is syncing, does it provide a seamless transition like MSFS weather does or is it the same as what REX and others have tried to do with a transient but noticeable sync. Because, I don't care for any weather add-on, that does that.

I asked on their Discord channel. 

I wouldn’t buy it but I hope those from P3D universe can just give us now some peace moaning about historical weather since this application has this option

Historic weather is the first item on their roadmap here:

(Scroll down to "continued and consistent development".)

Yes, it has been since release, two years ago.

Haven't heard any news about it since then.

There are going to be more XP developers coming out with products in MSFS.  Add Airfoilabs and XEnviro to the list of XP developers that are now coming out with MSFS products.

Don't get too excited. What Xenviro delivered for X-plane 11 is already being delivered for X Plane 12 by default and does not have a role to play atm other than maybe cloud enhancements and current and historical weather data with other third party apps, that's about it. So they were more less filling in the gaps that was available to them at that time. Everything from improve lighting and shading tweaks, season to accumulated snow were things lacking in X-plane 11 but is provided by 12 by defaults. What interesting is that they have so many comparison shots of improvements to MSFS defaults. But at the end of the day is certainly not go to drive people away from X Plane 12 just because Xenviro made their move. It is a surprise move non the less but I doubt anyone is going to really care.

Well, thing is that there are 2 limiting factors in my life. Time and money.

Msfs gave me a lot of bang for the buck (euro actually) and a lot of time flying instead of tweaking, buying stuff etc.

I've been flying more in msfs in the last 2 years than i have in the competition combined (,except dcs).

Msfs had been extremely stable for me in vr without a ctd in more than a year. No matter how much I change, the thing just never crashes.

If we start adding weather engines, texture enhancers etc it may become very unstable. I remember in my fsx days I had 20 addons installed and a couple of programs to manage cpu power and heat etc ..

I sincerely hope, just like @pmb that those days are over. I'm close to 47 years old, I have two young boys and I just want to fly 1 or 2 hours on Saturdays and Sundays  😃

 

I have a certain feeling that we are moving away from the topic rather quickly. But hey, that is also part of the hobby... share emotions on avsim with fellow simmers/mancavers..

 

Have a nice day!

That small crowd clinging on to P3D for dear life are mostly just using it as an excuse not to move over I reckon. Even if it had historical weather, they'd just find some other "must have" feature that makes them wait. 

I’m quite happy with MSFS weather. Does what it needs to, for a few hours of flying a virtual plane. If however I was after a training situation, maybe I’d look beyond it. But I’m not, so 😬

But am I now forced to use MSFS because you want me to?

I think this software is good news, but calm down...

Literally never said that and you're the P3D user in the MSFS section, calm down 😉
