They don't send the detailed weather data we need. So X-Plane's built-in real weather, or FSGRW (which uses the metar.rwx file to communicate weather conditions to X-Plane) work well with it.Īll other weather injectors I know of currently send weather information to X-Plane using datarefs, which limits them to just 3 cloud layers that cover the entire world at any given time. RWC works by extracting detailed weather information from X-Plane's metar.rwx file. It also works with weather add-ons that communicate with X-Plane using the METAR.rwx file, such FS Global Real Weather (FSGRW). With RWC, you'll get the best results just using X-Plane's built-in real world weather feature. If you're really fond of the NOAA plugin, so as much as I hate to say it - RWC might not be a good purchase for you. I think the same is true for EFASS's weather injection. So - with RWC, you'll probably be better off without the NOAA plugin - at least until the author can adapt it to work better with RWC.
So NOAA really negates the benefit of RWC by how it handles the clouds it removes the information RWC needs.įurthermore, RWC requires "real world weather" to be active in X-Plane, and NOAA disables that option from what I've seen. Real Weather Connector however uses X-Plane's METAR.rwx file to position different cloud fronts and systems where they should be, meaning you can have different weather visible in different places around the plane. NOAA works by distilling the surrounding weather into three cloud layers that surround the plane, using X-Plane's datarefs. I should point out that you won't want to use the NOAA plugin in its current form with Real Weather Connector (RWC) once it's out. The most recent versions of Python 2.7 also cause problems! 2.7.1 looks to me as the best choice. I believe I didn't see rain when using the Python Interface v2.6 and Python v2.6 and that's why I decided to try v2.7 of Python and Interface, but beware that Pyhton v 2.7.1 64 bit ( more recent versions of Python 2.7 are incompatible with Sandy's interface ) Sandy's Python Interface v2.7 from here It can also have to do with the version of Python and Sandy's Python interface I use. Went there and found a true to life windy and rainy day. go there in X-plane, but chose an aircraft with rain effects modeled.Įxample: Searched for rain and found use or to search for METAR with rain / snow ( RA, SHRA, TSRA, SN ) I've had that experience in the past with the NOAA plugin, but now, and I really don't know what I did different, it works.
