WEATHER INFO

EVERY TIME I GO FOR GLOBAL WEATHER I CAN NEVER GET THE RIGHT WEATHER HERE IN ST. LOUIS BUT EVERWHERE ELSE I CAN.........ANY BODY KNOW

[BFMF]

Are you talking about real world weather on the flight simulator?

[Mobius]

IT WON'T BE EXACTLY THE SAME WEATHER, BUT IT WILL BE SIMILAR CONDITIONS BASED OF WHAT FS CAN DO........

.........DID YOU HEAR ME!?

, Oh, and welcome to the boards.....

[BFMF]

shh.... you don't have to yell

Whenever I download real world weather on the flightsim, I almost always check the latest METAR reports. Sometimes the FS can be close. Other times, not even close to being close.

I have no idea why this is


Btw, why is this in the general board???

Don't worry about it - nobody gets accurate weather.

People tried it in the US at the time of the hurricane and it wasn't nearly as anything like the real thing.  ::)

I find that odd also during Katrina I loaded real world weather and my Cessna would blow right off the runway at the same time a friend downloaded same time, airport etc and he had just rain, so somewhere we download two very different real world weathers ??

[Saitek]

Well I seem to remember discusison in the FS9 forum and folk were disappointed. Maybe it only worked for some!

[Politically Incorrect]

That is what I mean, both my buddy and I downloaded at the same time but two different weather scenerios.
Makes me wonder if there is a setting within FS9 somewhere that some have checked and others don't?

Hmmm.. as far as I understood one just went and selected Real World Weather. It then pauses the sim and loads up from Jeppersen the weather.
