Weather radar implementation

Recommended Posts

Quick update ...

 

Regarding the Opus weather radar data we are in discussion with and currently waiting for further information and clarification from the developers at Lockheed Martin (Prepar3D) before continuing with our proposed upgrade.

Thanks Stephen, would the best way forward for aircraft developers who want to implement a weather radar use weather program data (such as OPUS), or communicate with P3D? 

 

In FSX weather radar data was inaccurate. Cheers.

We are trying to get the standard SimConnect Cloud State function improved and corrected in P3D so that ALL developers can have a simple and standard means of acquiring accurate weather radar type data. Of course developers of weather related products will have the edge as they will know exactly (as we do) what precipitation levels exist in all the cloud layers and cloud types. So yes, all developers should request LM to correct and clarify the use of this function. Obviously, it is the precipitation (water droplets) that matter and not the cloud (water vapour) which is is completely transparent to radar.

 

I will certainly report back with any news regarding this matter.

Please read the other OpusFSX topics on this matter and see our SimForums posts, including Screenshots.

 

The ASN weather radar data works just fine with OpusFSX and OpusFSI !

 

Weather radar data is totally independent of the weather engine or source of weather, it will work with any weather engine injecting the weather or even the standard FSX weather or static themes.

Hey Stephen, could you or somebody else maybe tell us how we can get this combination work? Do we just have to install ASN and thats it?

It would be nice if they released just the .DLL (for a way lower price, of course) for the ones who already own and use other weather solutions and are satisfied with that.

Any news on other softwares that also grab the cloud/rain information from inside FSX?
