I got the same email. Assume it was an over-eager or forgetful mailing server shooting it again 
This is not true. Itâs the second time I hear this mentioned so I donât know who is spreading this. Tilt does not work and it doesnât look like this is using anything other than the standard MSFS WX radar API.

I never said they didnât. But itâs not included in JFâs package and the repaint is for a reg. that was in fact an RJ85.
Flew the latest version tonight, just a quick trip & havenât flown anything for a while. Noticed:
- Tiller steering is very sensitive at slower speeds, so much so that if I max my tiller controller ( itâs the twist on a 3d mouse atm ) the steering goes right round & actually stops steering again. Makes turning round at runway ends a less than smooth operation, slower taxiing is also not great.
- Had to taxi around an airfield at night, in quite heavy rain, which I donât think Iâve had to do before in this, wierdly enough ( Iâve definitely landed it in the rain before⊠maybe the lighting was better ). The wipers donât clear anything off the windscreens. Ended up sticking my head out the window ( head tracking + lock ), not ideal.
Otherwise all seems to work like it already did.
Regarding the wipers, the sim itself doesnât have any support for wipers dynamically clearing the windscreeen of precipitation. None of the stock aircraft actually have âworkingâ wipers either, which is a real disappointment in the rain. Maybe JF can find a way to override that or do some sort of trickery to mimic it, but as it currently stands itâs not something the sim can do. Unless youâre saying they did work at one point and now they donât.

I think what weâre both saying is that we got the same (looking) email notification twice.
Thank you for clarifying that! My info came from this video, which states:
One of the standout additions in this update is the introduction of a brand new weather radar system. For avid simmers who value realism and accuracy, this is particularly exciting news. Now, many might be surprised by this, considering a lot of the community believes a proper weather radar isnât actually implemented within Microsoft Flight Simulator. However, some rather learned individuals in the community suggest otherwise. Apparently, the weather radar feature within Microsoft Flight Simulator does support conical, vertical, as well as horizontal modes. Itâs just not too straightforward to implement for third-party developers. Thatâs what the problem is. Just Flight happens to be one of the first to properly use it in their add-on.
Do I understand correctly this is a bunch of bs?
Not entirely, the WX radar has been supporting a topview, horizontal and vertical mode for a while. Itâs a long standing myth that it only supported a topview. The radar cone angle can also be configured. Tilt is however NOT supported currently in the SDK, so devs cannot implement it.
As for which mode is implemented in the 146 I donât know (topview vs horizontal/vertical), but itâs definitely not the only/first plane that implements the WX radar with these modes.
What the WX radar API does not offer is direct access to the raw data, so any kind of advanced radar features or device-specific visualizations are not really possible. Devs can only show the radar return images the sim provides them (except for some coloring options). Thatâs why it hasnât really been added to most of the deeply simulated airliners as it wouldnât look/behave like the real thing for that type.

Just purchased the 146 on Xbox watched few YouTube vids on Jonathan Becketts channel very helpful chap.
First test flight Gatwick to Edinburgh cold&dark and wow busy busy busy in cockpit I missed glide slope but I will work on that. I love the change up from pmdg 737 very different obviously 146 bit of hard graft 
. Flight model,audio top notch from just flight well done guys

I donât remember having to uise the wipers before, as I said. If they donât work on any aircraft ( I canât remember using them on anything else either! I can see in the rain just fine, normally ) then that is a disappointment and pretty ridiculous - working wipers have been a feature of sims for many years at this point. From the SDK description of how rain works I canât see a way of fudging it with an animation either.
Iâd recommend viewing this wishlist item to add input on functional wipers in the sim: Functional windshield wipers
On the FlyByWire A320neo the wipers do push the rain off the glass. (Iâm using the Development version)
A few planes have functional wipers, think it requires some custom coding. I know the Wilga by GotFriends has them.
Hereâs a wishlist item for working wipers in general:

Second training flight short hop exeter-aldergrove . Hopefully catch the glide slope this time 
. Awesome plane

Itâs about a week since I last flew the 146⊠Todayâs flight from Edinburgh (EGPH) to Stansted (EGSS) reminded me why this is my favourite plane. I canât believe that this is on Xbox (it is on Xbox and I am using it on Xbox and all of the screenshots and photos below are on Xbox- just to be clear 
).

Conveniently you donât need to change the ILS freq for either end!

Is there any chance to get the cabin crew removed from the cargo versions? ideally replaced by a half asleep loadmaster, but just removed would work

and when he is not sleepy he is yelling at the loaders: âno no not this one, the other one goes firstâ
