For those who want to add more realism to their weather engine than what Asobo provide in Microsoft Flight Simulator, Rex Weather Force claims to provide the solution, and now Rex Simulations have announced an update to their popular weather engine.
Technical update 1.3 fixes known issues, such as improper weather mode reporting after the injection of DWP weather following the initial load, snow not showing when selected, and the ability to select favorite airports.
Cloud density has been improved, as well as weather updates to PilotATC, temperature and pressure updates to the simulator, and cloud rendering. The update also adds the ability to search weather, view weather at favorite airports, and instant snow coverage if snow happens to be falling at the chosen airport.
A full list of fixes, improvements, and additions can be found below.
To get the update, users are asked to open Weather Force, where an update will be prompted. On downloading the update, the original installation will need to be uninstalled and the new one installed.
Rex Weather Force is available from Orbx Central, priced EUR 19.13, or through the REX website, priced at $21.95.
