@duesen Thank you so much for all of your dedication!
This API wx site appears to offer historical weather for free, going back 20 years. Is this something that would be compatible with MSFS? Tafmetar

Fantastic! Thank you for your hard work.
I have used this mod since its initial release, and it always delivers!

Your mod is great, it’s not clear to donate to you. Is a donation via paypal possible? And I think easier for everyone.

oh wow that is actually super nice, would be great addition to the plugin or a 2nd weather plugin project.
Like relive storm dennis or something again at EHAM :heart_eyes:

Guys I have a question. Temperatures working well, but when looking Outside the Window left or reight, the clouds Disappearing in a „one second rhythm“ and Not smooth as usual.

Is there an option to reduce this?

Kind regards from Berlin

It would be a support question for Asobo. :frowning_face_with_open_mouth:

Again, thank you, everyone, for your support and donations! Much appreciated!

Ok, I have an unusual request. Since I don’t have time to use the sim during the day, I often use the sim at night but use daylight hours for the flights I create.
Is it possible to create a flight during the day and get the weather for that time, even though it was several hours ago? In other words can i use old metars for a flight?
Does this make sense?

Nothing unusual here; that’s been asked before. But no, past reports are not available via the API.

What about Tafmetar? They offer historical reports for free.

Trying this mod for the first time and have successfully got it up and running. So far so good but I’m finding that every few minutes it’s as if the weather reloads and as the clouds re-form I get an extended period of stutters. Now given the state the sim is currently in I’ve no real way of knowing if this is due to the mod and transitioning from one airport area to another, or the sim itself, but if its a known issue and something that can be eliminated or reduced by tweaking a setting somewhere please let me know.

EDIT - Sorry, should have read the blog post about transitions. That said, are the stutters to be expected or would extending the transition time help to reduce them? I’d be happier to experiment if it didn’t take so long to re-start the sim every time!

Yeah transition times definitely help, i have quite a fast setup so mine doesn’t stutter.
I use 3 minutes
60 seconds
0.1

Aerosol density can hit performance hard so set that to instant in the .js file.

Thanks, will give those settings a try.

I don’t have access to the settings, any idea?
