April 5, 20233 yr I know current state of MSFS it doesn't allow for fully realistic WX radar, but to me it's better to have basic than none. WX radar still adds immersion factor.

April 6, 20233 yr Yes, totally agree! Love my maddog weather radar! Edited April 6, 20233 yr by rob0203
April 6, 20233 yr Looking forward to getting working wx in my market place bought Cessna 414…today…hopefully?
April 6, 20233 yr I had a flight into Austin today. Was surprised to see it somewhat working. I had totally forgot. 5800X3D, 4090FE, 64GB DDR4 3600C16, Gigabyte X570S MB, EVO 970 M.2's, Alienware 3821DW and 2 22" monitors, Corsair RM1000x PSU, 360MM MSI MEG, MFG Crosswind, T16000M Stick, Boeing TCA Yoke/Throttle, Skalarki MCDU and FCU, Logitech Radio Panel/Switch Panel, Spad.Next
April 6, 20233 yr Yes i also used it today at EHAM making me want to turn on antiice a head of time. Nice addition Michael Moe Michael Moe

April 6, 20233 yr totally agree - one of the more frustrating issues with other payware developers. CPU: Core i5-6600K 4 core (3.5GHz) - overclock to 4.3 | RAM: (1066 MHz) 16GB MOBO: ASUS Z170 Pro | GeForce GTX 1070 8GB | MONITOR: 2560 X 1440 2K
April 6, 20233 yr I agree. Though the current simulation of WX radars are far from optimum, it´s better to have what we got rather than not having it. It´s up to each flightsimmer to choose whether to use it or not. System: i7-10700K, 32GB RAM, RTX4070 12GB, 1 x 1TB SSD, 2 x 2TB SSD, 1x 2TB HDD, Win10 64bit Home, Meta Quest 3
April 6, 20233 yr Completely agree, I wish that PMDG, Fenix, etc. would do the same and implement the Asobo solution. I think we're a long way from getting realistic radar returns, and not having a weather radar limits the experience (IMO) John

There is no conflict between getting vocal about something and compromising in a meantime. WT is good example.

April 7, 20233 yr Just now, sd_flyer said: You are not getting my point. There is no conflict between getting vocal about something and compromising in a meantime. WT is good example. We used GNS430/530 in numerous airplanes before they got improved I would not put the addon plane using the GNS unit in the same category as the Fenix A320, they are even working to massively improve, the engine model, display, EFB and even the 3D model and some textures on the Airbus, while a lot of people won't really see the difference. They don't really like to compromise. As for the GNS430/530, which is a massive plus for navigation, of course dev used them before the WT update, I don't expect to see devs releasing all their previous GA airplanes with only steam gauge, until the WT update was release.
