March 28, 20251 yr That's some great news! Will the ice/snow have some effect on the aircraft? I hope they will also work on the cockpit textures, they don't look bad, but I think it could be polished up. Since they move up from the prosim base, I am wondering if the numbers will be more accurate, at least Blackbox711 had mentioned that the pitch and power values wouldn't fit to the real world ones. That would be super helpful if they did for better management. Otherwise, I am looking forward to this. Thank you @Aamir and team.

March 28, 20251 yr Commercial Member While this is great news and I very much will purchase it and enjoy it, we need something NEW. A220 would've been good. But that's of course subject to available data and access.

The radar is continuously scanning a cone both above and below the aircraft, and then an algorithm is filtering out returns that are recognized to be ground clutter or terrain (the radar has it's own terrain database). Gain, threat display, and other aspects of the display are also altered based on location - for instance, since oceanic convection is often lower-topped, the radar will display a lower storm as stronger in oceanic airspace than it would over land etc. If you mean in the game, the first part applies - you'd see the rain reaching the ground in front of you. 😉 Of course I was referring to the sim WXR. Rest assured, I know how the real thing work and I'm not even talking about advanced features like terrain filtering as the sim WXR won't pick up terrain or have a map mode. Tilt is such a basic feature. There's a good reason serious developers decided to omit it yet people demand a feature with next to zero practical application simply cause it's an eye candy of sorts...

When you think about the display presented to pilots by these modern radars, it isn't really much different than what they'll get in the current sim version. The one scenario that could be different is descending into weather you can't tilt down and see in the sim... And that's not really a big deal in a game. (Also I don't see why you wouldn't be asking how to tilt up off the runway to see weather if you clearly understood this.) Andrew Crowley

Correct me if im wrong, but i think the only real difference between the a321neo, lr, and xlr is the number of aux tanks fitted and max gross weight.

That's exactly the scenario I was drawing in a previous post.... So if we agree that it's (the sim radar, that is) useless on rotation, climb or descent without the tilt... then please tell me when IS it useful? cruising at FL380?
