Hello everybody.

My name is Alex and I have been playing fs2004 for about 2 years now. One thing that i noticed is that I am unable to find a gauge that has a real working NEXRAD or Doppler radar that also shows your aircrafts position to the storm cells or rain. I know that there is a kneeboard addon (that i have) that can log onto the web and go to a website to look at the weather. But i am looking for something more like the GPS system, where it isn't attatched to the kneeboard and has easy show/hide controls. Once again, I want a gauge that is a real working weather radar with your planes position also on the map. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks alot.  ;D

Hi there - welcome.

As far as I know, there are some weather radar gauges included in a couple of payware packages but I don't think there's any freeware weather gauges out there.

Any gauge developes listening?  ;)

I have been waiting for something like that since ages......and ofcourse would prefer freeware.

I second Microlight by saying that there are payware aircrafts which have them inbuilt (if i remember).

Lets just hope FSX has it .

Though I haven't tried looking myself, I understand from reading other posts that most freeware gauges just show any weather, no THE weather in your area; someone else will probably know more though.

Thanks guys!

If anyone can find me or link me to a good gauge that has real working weather radar, that would be great! Just let me know!

Works only with 3d clouds

THanks, but i dont know if its just me, but does that link work on that website? for me its not working, wont let me click. Can you explain a little more about this?

Thanks Alot.

thanks for your help with the link!!


it works great!!
thanks again!!

I am having a problem with it now, It works fine in the C172, but when I put the panel CFG code into another plane the gauge will come up and I can turn all of the switches, but it doesnt light up and the radar doesnt light up or do anything

The manual clearly states that you need two entries in panel.cfg

Put the main gauge anywhere you want, but remember to place the 'logic' gauge (which is an invisible gauge) in a VirtualCockpit section, as it needs to be 'visible' for the display gauge all the time.

i've heard of a gauge like that called WeatherBug but never tried maybe its still out there

I have WeatherBug, and I dont believe it is a gauge. Its a standalone program(has nothing to do with FS) and can tell you the weather anywhere along with forcasts ect.
