A dumb question: will all participants set their weather to real world (Jeppesen data) with the same update rate (like, say, High), and sync their clocks? I think this would greatly enhance the experience.

The only problem with "Real World Weather" is that under certain conditions we could very well be grounded indefinitely because of IMC**.
Poor visibility, low cloud, unfamiliar terrain, unsuitable aircraft, and not having instrument ratings... Wink

Fozzer says, "Beware of bad weather, it will kill you"...
"Trust me!"...LOL...!

I always select default "Fair Weather", 12 'O'clock Mid Day, 23rd September....
...which means...
Blue sky, slight wind, just a few high level clouds, plenty of daylight, and beautiful Autumn vegetation down below... Grin

As a real world Pilot on occasions, in my trusty '152, I avoid "poor weather" like the plague...

I like the idea, but it could give real flight problems in real time...?

It's just that flying in broad daylight through clear skies can ultimately get a little boring... now imagine a multiplayer session where pilots don't know what the weather will be in 10 minutes time; picture yourself staring worriedly at the clouds in front of your plane; listening to the rumble of a distant thunder, while light slowly begins to dim.... struggling with the yoke in turbulence... spotting a lightning just a little bit too close for comfort... well, that could definitely add to the sensation, wouldn't it?. And provide good snapshot opportunities too. After all, we are simmers, we don't really risk our lives and our planes.

Yes, that was my point. It's true, in real life we wouldn't dare to challenge the weather and fly anyway, but that could even be considered a good training... hope for the best and expect the worse. Wink

Anyway, there's no point of doing that if everyone else doesn't, so I take it back.

Hi Serpent...!

As all my flying is done in California, and the San Francisco area in particular, being on the Pacific coast the weather is often very poor, mist, fog and low cloud, and many times when I have used Real Weather the contitions have been so bad that I have had either stay on the ground until the weather clears, cancel the Real World Weather! or load up an airfield in another location....!
Flying has been impossible and dangerous for GA aircraft.

(You wouldnt want to take a Piper Cub out in that sort of weather and expect to live...)...LOL...!

At present I am listening into to Atlanta Tower ATC, and weather conditions on the Eastern Seaboard are bad, and all flights are subject to long delays..!

Paul... 8)...!

San Francisco web cams give a picture of local weather conditions...>

Typing in the Chat Window...?
Easy-peasy. It comes with many years of doing it in all sorts of on-line computer games....
Practice makes perfect... Wink

LOL...!
The only time I avoid it, is during take-off and landing in the Flight Sims...
Once on auto-pilot you have all the time in the world to do a bit of typing...it's fun... Grin

It's good fun, and excellent practice, navigating by the Bendix-King radios, in conjunction with FS Navigator and it's flight plans, (Which also enables me to see all you lot via RADAR, desperately hanging onto my tail in case you get lost... which you would otherwise do...trust me!... Wink

Wink

...LOL...!

Autopilot enables me to track between VOR and NDB beacons, and maintain a constant height and heading...
...and it also allows me to chat endlessly in the Chat Window, drink cups of tea, eat cheese sandwiches, pick my nose, go for a pee, etc, all with my hands off the controls.... Grin
