BillD22 Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Here are a few shots showing off some of the visual features of the new REX Weather Architect which let's you create custom weather systems in FSX, SE, and P3D. In this series, from sometime in the 1970's, a National Airlines DC-10-10 in the famous "Sun King" livery taxis for departure on Runway 9 at Miami International Airport in Florida (KMIA). Using REX Weather Architect I created a cluster of cumulus buildups with rain showers and embedded thunderstorms over the coastline and ocean directly off the departure end of the runway The aircraft is the new CLS HD DC-10 [click on the images for a full screen view] Here's the REX datalink weather display showing the weather system I created. You can create weather by simply painting the desired location, type, and intensity onto a map display Our DC-10 taxis to the runway as ominous dark storm clouds loom in the background Just as the datalink shows it looks like we're going to be dealing with CBs in all departure quadrants. "Folks, from the flight deck, please be sure your seatbelts are securely fastened. We may get a few bumps on the climb out" As we line up for takeoff we see lightning in the distance straight ahead. After liftoff we'll want to request an immediate turn from Miami departure to avoid flying directly into this stuff This shot shows the REX weather radar display as we climb out. You can switch between the REX radar and data link displays in the aircraft to keep a good picture of the weather along your route and avoid the bad areas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VFR_Steve Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 That's some stunning shots! Does the REX interface create MOVING weather frontal patterns or are they just stationary?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillD22 Posted August 4, 2015 Author Share Posted August 4, 2015 That's some stunning shots! Does the REX interface create MOVING weather frontal patterns or are they just stationary?? Jan, Larry, & John - many thanks for the good words Steve: that's a good question - moving fronts would be awesome. I didn't see any reference to moving fronts in the documentation but you can set the prevailing global wind patterns which might in turn move the weather you create - I only have time to fly occasionally so haven't played around with the system enough yet to say - stay tuned!
