wain71 Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 a guy on another sight was arguing that he thinks the weather in MSFS is predicted weather, not sure how true this is, I thought it was METAR based....I use REX uless I prefer to set some nice stuff to see the scenery, I then use a preset from SOFLY... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last night it didn't seem right for some reason and I was wondering if my REX was working, so I usually do what you do as well, use REX or SOFLY when the weather isn't all that up to par for some scenery to be visible below. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSFS weather us a mixture of actual data and pedicted/calculated weather in between real world weather stations. That's why it looks much better than those only metar based add ons, which are only based on metar stations and therefore can't be "dynamic", because metar stations are not densly spread across the world. So when using add on weather apps you only fly from one "metar weather" into the next and you are going to miss the dynamic interactions and changes of weather. With add ons you basicly see the same kind of weather, no matter if looking to the East, West, South or North. Sometimes the weather might be more correct in the vicinity of a station though. Conclusion: I finally only fly with MSFS live weather. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
