January 22, 20242 yr A few screen shot of the new REX Weather engine and snow. Some folks have had trouble with live weather.. Rex has been great no FPS impact Good here!! https://share.icloud.com/photos/09fmZvjeHjBP3CroCv23M_KuA https://share.icloud.com/photos/060FZFSKPmzQoNqvP1K_M-nnA https://share.icloud.com/photos/0d5vIVlvDVB2Zciomn5REyzCg And yea phone screen shot but I think you get the idea...

January 22, 20242 yr Hmmm. Yes. They also had a lot of snow cover in Northern Italy (and other locations) where there was a grand total of ZERO accumulated snow on the ground. So far I still find MSFS's built-in WX to be the better candidate. By a very large margin (and don't get me started on REX's dependence on METARs; including METAR stations which publish incomplete METARs ... 🙄).
January 22, 20242 yr Author Yea I did a flight 2 times into KMHT live and rex, live had zero snow, rex had snow. Chris Chiozza
January 23, 20242 yr But with live weather you can go to other places where there is zero actual snow on the ground but with live weather there is snow permanenly 24/7 355 days a year.

All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us."

January 23, 20242 yr I think what we can conclude is that neither REX nor MSFS live weather consistently gives accurate snow accumulation for all places on earth. Likely both do a pretty good job in most cases. but there are anomalies and inconsistencies. For some people this is a series draw back and frustrating while others do not even notice or care.

January 23, 20242 yr Author I also believe that the clouds are less granular with REX and smooth. The horizon is not cut in a line. Chris Chiozza
January 23, 20242 yr I also think the clouds look better under REX. Only the problem with the snow has not been solved. My home base is EDDM. There has been snow on all flights in the last few days. This wasn't the case with MSFS Weather. That has always been true. The last flight over Great Britain also had snow everywhere. That cant be true.

January 23, 20242 yr Author Clouds are defiantly smoother and brighter no doubt. Look more realistic than the dark granular type with default. https://share.icloud.com/photos/0f0RdItBChTnQxC68ZGGPfFTg https://share.icloud.com/photos/033ZL4EMvWE4yOuFU-o3J6OgQ Chris Chiozza
