FS Global Real Weather (FS9/FSX/FSX:SE/P3Dv1-3/XP10)

The ultimate Weather Engine for FSX, Prepar3D V1-V3 and X-Plane 10 giving you the best real weather experience in your simulator. Features include real upper and lower air winds, cloud types, clear air turbulence, icing, historic weather, weather reporting and flight planning and compatibility with ATC and AI Traffic.

FS Global Real Weather is a fast loading, easy to use, weather engine for Microsoft Flight Simulator X, Flight Simulator 2004, ESP, Lockheed Martins Prepar3D V1.4 & V2.1x & V3.0 and X-Plane from 10.41.

FS Global Real Weather not only delivers weather data calculated out of realtime data of more than 24.000 observation stations (land- and seabased) worldwide. It also calculates air masses and temperatues for upper airlevels on a scientific base, which is absolutely necessary for correct flight planning using real world tools. As a first in history of FS weather tools it supports local weather phaenomena (e.g. Foehn weather at Innsbruck; LOWI). It is available as a download and sometimes later as a boxed version.

MAIN FEATURES:

• And more ...

INFORMATION ABOUT THE CURRENT RELEASE:
Version 1.7 Build #038 was released on June 2nd 2016 and contains the following changes:

• FS Global Real Weather can now be used with Prepar3D 3.3. Please also download the new Network Bridge, if you use FSGRW on a network.
• The weather update rate for X-Plane can be configured in the settings of FS Global Real Weather.
• FS Global Real Weather can now export wind data for the iFly FMC (upcoming).

ROAD MAP FOR FUTURE UPDATES:
We are currently working on or planning the next mayor updates which may contain:

• A Weather Radar api is being worked on. This will be a documented api for free usage.
• Completely new interface and server structure in V1.8.
• More local weather effects. Please email your requests!
• Further performance improvements for weather transfer

Conclusion by avsim.com:
"This is quite simply the ultimate simulation of atmospheric conditions, period.(...) How much will this set you back? E 39.99. This may seem a little steep, but as you may have gleaned from what I had to say about it in the above passages, you will find it worth every penny!"
