In saying “predicting” flight sim weather; I assume you mean that we need a method of knowing what the weather is along our chosen flight path? Like, you’d create a flight plan, and you could get a report similar to Leidos, as well as a general weather map facility to see what the weather is doing in an area?
That’s what I’d want. I’m interested in knowing what Asobo’s plans are. I assume that’s why they aren’t interested in 3rd party weather injectors… 1. it would greatly complicate what they have to do behind the scenes to accomodate it, 2. They have plans for expanding it and making it a central part of the sim as a feature and 3. Putting it in FS would be a pretty good sales tool for selling other products that would use these facilities they are developing across many industries. That has always been the purpose of Flight Sim, not to create the game (though I’m sure that was one reason for the sake of Paul Allen), but as a tool to demonstrate technologies for the big contracts we don’t normally see going on behind the scenes.
