Ryan Renz Posted April 5, 2022 at 11:13 PM Posted April 5, 2022 at 11:13 PM Hello, I thought fs9 used Swift weather from VATSIM. My first few recent flights I thought the weather was correct. Now all of a student it seems the weather is always CAVOK. Reading around it seems Swift doesn't really do weather, only winds aloft, is this still accurate? (Swift 32bit 0.12.2) If so, what are people using for weather in FS9.1? Is there one that will be the same as VATSIM? Windows 7 64 bit. Thank you.

Andreas Fuchs Posted April 5, 2022 at 11:48 PM Posted April 5, 2022 at 11:48 PM Hi Ryan, the weather function of swift is very basic and only meant to be used "in emergency" (=when you don't have any other means to inject real weather). If you want real weather, you may want to consider buying a weather tool that you can use with FS9. When I was still using FS9 I had FSGRW. There may be other realtime weather programs that work with FS9, but I am not aware about their current status.

Ryan Renz Posted April 6, 2022 at 01:10 AM Author Posted April 6, 2022 at 01:10 AM Oh okay, that's disappointing... I know when I was running FSINN it used VATSIM weather so that everyone had the same conditions, METARS and Altimeter were consistent and functional. I'm running out of fingers to cross. 😋 I'll look at FSGRW, thank you...

Andreas Fuchs Posted April 6, 2022 at 08:42 AM Posted April 6, 2022 at 08:42 AM At least VATSIM is for free 😉 Cheers, Andreas Member of VATSIM GermanyMy real flying on InstagramMy Twitch streams of VATSIM flights and ATC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Renz Posted April 6, 2022 at 04:49 PM Author Posted April 6, 2022 at 04:49 PM Oh I know; incredible, and fantastic! But then again, I think everything should be free; scrap this whole monetary value concept. Thank you.

Ryan Renz Posted April 8, 2022 at 05:47 AM Author Posted April 8, 2022 at 05:47 AM I bought your FSGRW,I like it so far, however the verdict is still out of its going to function well. The clouds and everything look great. Thank you. In My (virtual) Hangar: C172 :: C-FXMY M20M :: C-GRYR Baron 58 :: C-TVUY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
