The live weather provided by REX is not predetermined in any way, or preset-based. It's continually evolving based on real-time processes.

Glad you clarified the preset question because it made no sense to me but I have never developed anything for MSFS but it seemed incorrect.

Just wondering if anyone is getting weather tonight? It is all clear everywhere. I posted on discord too.

And many people complained that Rex weather looked terrible. 

They know not what they say.  Maybe they were refering to the global model?

ASFS is as good.  Rex did have problems with stutters during updates, but is ok now

Just FYI REX is working again on my machine. I think I had an issue on my side. Give it a shot if you have not in awhile.

@cchiozza "beauty lies in the eyes of the beholer". My impression...they are kind of patterny.

Here you go:

These are 4 photos from EDJA (Memmingen - South of Germany): 2 of them are webcams (one exactly at the Airport RWY 06 - bit overexposed but you can see the clouds, the other one like 2 km away from the airport).

The other 2 photos are from the sim. Now you tell me how the "mostly cloudy" METAR looks like in REX and how it looks in MSFS? And by the way...both webcams look towards the Alps ;).

Another thing to mention: with REX you currently get bad Altitude indication on the PFD although the QNH is correct (just check at an airport with MSFS real weather and REX) 😉

Always 3 greens my friend and enjoy your flight.
