1 Catastrophic floods, droughts, wildfires, and storms are becoming all-too-regular occurrences, and there is overwhelming scientific evidence that paints a clear and devastating picture of the changing climate. I wish I could get a refund.According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), humans have already caused the planet to warm by 1 degree Celsius above preindustrial levels. I am going to stop using it until I find a way to not lose fps. If I use UWXP with XP weather or NOAA, there is no problem. First the screen goes black and then I am back on the desktop. UPDATE: I HAVE NOW HAD TIME TO TRY THIS COMBINATION GSHRW AND UWXP. So I would like to know what the rest of you do to set up weather automatically? Do you load FXGRW before xplane? Or after? Any secrets? But twice I got a CTD shortly after starting. I suppose that I could turn the quantity of clouds down in UWXP. It gave me socked-in overcast when I have sun shining here. It showed a lot more cloudy that it actually is around here - I am close to the airport. I set the xplane weather to use a custom METAR file and passed the FXGRW weather to xplane. Apparently it is more designed for other simulators, but xplane included. Hello all, After hearing all the glowing reports of FXGRW, I bought it and installed it. Finally it is a question of requirement & costs. The is WX just way too old and, although there is nothing wrong with it, other engines can do it even better (without delay). True, there is nothing wrong with the default weather machine. You may be cleared for a visual approach while you still fight with the fog that has gone 3 hours ago. at VATSIM), it is mandatory to have a current weather situation! Otherwise you may experience unwanted tailwind landings because you are the only one flying with old (and therefore false) weather or at low level your altimeter setting mismatches controller's intent. I also do not question the weather but deal with it the way it is. This is no issue as long as you fly offline. Beside the less accurate cloud handling, but plausible wind and turbulence effects, the weather was very old all the time. This is the reason why I was looking for an alternative to the default WX engine. The past days we've had tops at FL440 over Germany in real world too!īasically nothing wrong with it indeed, but for Germany, this weather is 1-3 hours off depending of METAR station. Oh, one more thing about FSGRW: Some people complain about seeing clouds even above FL400 when using FSGRW. Therefore my best advice is to get FSGRW! Buying all the stuff available, my final conclusion is that the combination of FSGRW and UWXP is by far the most plausible weather representation I have seen for X-Plane! I also used SMP with RWC, FSrealWXPro and tried 圎nviro. I used the free NOAA plug-in for a long time. ![]() FSGRW creates virtual weather stations and weather reports with a pretty effective smoothing effect so you do not have such "jumpy" cloud changes. fly parallel to a frontal system while seeing differrent, fewer or even no clouds on the opposite side! Due to using a global weather model, you'll even have a plausible weather representation over the oceans. Also, the NOAA plug-in and the XP default weather create a rather homogene cloud type in a circle around your aircraft while FSGRW creates various cloud types in a plausible way: You could i.e. ![]() Doing so you can see a frontal system far away, approach and cross it wthout clouds disappearing or popping up out of a sudden. when crossing oceans).įSGRW does regard METARs but creates weather on global weather models. More than that, the NOAA plug-in totally fails when crossing areas without airports in the vicinity (i.e. ![]() The NOAA plug-in jumps from METAR to METAR with drastic changes of cloud representation within short cycles - depending on the density of airports with their respective METAR data. While the wind and turbulence handling of FSGW and the free NOAA-plug-in is almost of equal quality level, the cloud handling by FSGW is by far better! NOAA is free while FSGRW is quite expensive, what does it do better?
