RealWx question

[Mike Monce - HJG]

Quick question for Ryan:

What settings do you use? I know this is the "Lite" version, but I'd like to optimize it. I found it sometimes adjusts the weather rather abruptly and I'd like to smooth that out some. Is it the first option in the settings of WX distance?? I have that set to 50nm. I also use RadarContact and I've had a couple of occasions where the reported wx at the destination airport is different when I arrive, yet the reported Wx is when I'm only 70nm out. I've set the update time to over an hour.

Any advice greatly appreciated.

Hi Mike,

On the FSrealWX drop down menu select OPTIONS. In General tab - METAR feed - VATSIM, Weather update interval in min = 20, Downloads - all checked with no weather update on approach = 5000 meters, Start up - Clear WX checked only, everything else leave as is. In Weather tab (much of this is personal preference) - General - 300, 0, 10, 110 in boxes , Clouds - check what you want, Wind - check what you want, leave everything else as is. DWC and interface tab (I have FS9) - Direct Wind Control - unchecked, Interface - FSUIPC, Test Message in FS - unchecked, Pause at the stations send - 500nm. Log - Debug Log - unchecked (if you check this it will create a huge file during your flight), everything else leave as is.

Hope this helps.

Been using this one for years and it is quite realistic and great. Sometimes lags, but if you get the settings right it will humm right along. Happy Flying Mike.
