Can someone please explain me which weather engines does it use (fsx compatible) both on the airport and enroute? That's because vPilot and other vatsim programs don't have an integrated weather engine, or am I wrong?

Hi Lorenzo!

VATSIM does not have a centralized weather injection system for members. Pilots use whatever weather system they have in the simulator. We highly encourage pilots to use real-world weather systems, but this is not always possible - though controllers will most often facilitate for this.

There are some add-on weather injection systems available like HiFi's Active Sky, which includes the option to use the VATSIM METAR feed to inject weather. But from experience, it is usually adequate to use appropriate real world weather option available in your simulator.

Hope that answered your question!
