Technically, they don't need to really store data for live weather.  They can just retrieve the data live from the provider.

indeed they do ...... AWC  & others don't store metar/taf beyond 72 hours

& we remember them (my grandad, my dad) .... though we grow old but thank their legacy for today 

maybe the historic "snapshots" will be more frequent than ASFS's hourly's  ..... so SPECI's & half hourly metars are seen where available to better match time & TAF's

The problem only exists when winds are very low, or when we have crosswind conditions.

Aircraft seen on FR24 can be using downwind ops for a range of reasons ..... noise abatment etc.

Your sim can't simulate that unless (as in P3D addons), you have controlled AI.

@Burge

which version, which platform ..... surely not MSFS

  Have been flying with Prepar3d since August of last year, never had a CDT until now

& since you installed PMDG's 737ngux/ng .... 🤔

vectoring for terrain & traffic .... sounds brilliant if only it could avoid +TSRA

I have had FSX SE installed on my high end pc for many years. It's getting buggy to the point where it's not enjoyable anymore

why ..... no one asks that simple question

Is it possible that the indexer has problems with the AFCADS?

maybe .... need to think why, always flown IFR plans at these airports  🤔

At Pudong Airport (ORBX) I get the error message "No clearance ATSU at: pudong. Disable VOXATC".

P3D54 & V743

interesting ..... same here in GA mode (no flightplan loaded)

but not at VHHH by the same developer (WFSS)

do you have their ZBAA scenery ?

completely fake ...... an empty carpark at rose bay😄

just covering bases and wondering

I have always installed the appropriate version ...... though mainly to manage aircraft & scenery editing with the likes of ADE, MConX etc.

& there is a wealth of info on P3D workings if you are a "tweaker".

put it wherever ... according to navigraph's  latest survey, xbox users would love to contribute

- A team capable of delivering a solid VR product, to help move forward from the bare bones experience and the blatant lack of interest we've had from MS/Asobo since December 2020 when VR was first introduced.

- A team capable of fixing bugs, dealing with a far better structured beta process and one that takes Quality Control seriously, unlike what we've had since launch.

- A weather team that can also take this feature forward and/or fix the many issues associated with this area since the debacle that was SU7 METAR integration.

- Hire some of the incredible freeware talent as a team to help improve the overall experience.

Basically teams that can do a much better job than MS/Asobo in certain areas where they're clearly struggling, just like what we got with Working Title which worked out brilliantly.

surely it is not that crook 😎

using VoiceATC

one is a tad confused here..... are the voices SAPI5 TTS which can be used alongside one's existing inventory (MS,Harpo,Cereproc etc.) & hence with other addons such as MCE (for the same copilot voice) 🤔

Previous versions of VoxATC already had different phraseology for Europe/UK compared to USA depending on where you were flying.

& the different altimeter procedures though as yet it does not provide for metric altitudes / flight levels nor metric winds.

also I expect to hear an update included for contemporary RNAV phrasing as distinct from legacy procedures.

& lastly but by no means least, an expansion of PF to PNF chatter options for PNF requests.

People have asked MS and LM for years to fix the bugs in the ATC and AI, but I don't think much has changed since FSX or perhaps even FS2004

indeed ..... & many have asked about the "apparent" factors reviewed by the sim's traffic engine (wind, visibility, navaids, runway length etc.) to assign said runways.

frankly i have always guessed MS & LM have little interest in refining or explaining that given for many years addons such as VoxATC have been a more than adequate traffic controller.
