Real world weather

Postby xinmayu » Thu Jun 24, 2004 12:43 am

Hi, guys

I have a question. We all use real world weather right. Then after we finish the flight, what happens to the real world weather data, which we download from internet. Is it deleted automatically or stored in PC? If so, where is it stored? And it can be very big already since many years fly arround.

Appreciate your answer.

Thanks

Good question. I would have thought that the downloaded Jeppesen data is used to update the weather settings - which are then saved with the other flight details (altitude, location, speed etc) when you save the flight. This information is then reloaded when you reload the flight. So the weather info is removed when the saved flight file is deleted.

Anybody know for sure?

Not many replies, so I'll give you my GUESS.
Seems it should go into Random Access Memory (RAM) and that would be expunged at each shutdown.
