A little story relevant to fs2002 weather

wanted to go out today , to a safari park with the family , but weather on tv said rain all day , ugh

Checked various weather pages on internet they said may clear up , MAY clearup

hmm i thought if i fly over the place i want to go to in fs ,  using the local weather downloaded from jepesson , that should hopefully give me a good idea as to what to expect

so we went , due mainly to the jepesson interpretation of the weather

and do you know it was exactly right

i mean exactly

the same cloud formation and everything

in the end a good day was had by all

How do they do that , jepesson i mean , where does the info come from and how often is it changed ?

Other than that, a forecast or report for a large region (as you will get from the newsstation) could never be as precise as the one from a local weatherstation. I mean, they only have to cover their area. Weather can vary within a few miles so the local one is bound to be more precise.
Look at the guys in formula 1; they can predict if it's gonna rain at the racerack within 20 minutes or so, something you could never do for a larger region.
Jeppessen use local weatherreports so they will be very precise. I bet it's something like that.
The weather here at EHTE is sh.. by the way so I just took the virtual Aero Commander from my home to the south of Germany. It wasn't untill shut-down at EDMK that I realised it has an autopilot, disguised as a lunchbox. Stupid old aeroplane but at least it's pretty and sounds right.

I'll have a beer now with some cheese&onion crisps.
Cheers
