![]() ![]() The advantage of this is that you can see whether around you changing, but at the cost of frequent and often severe changes of wind direction, speed, air pressure and cloud cover. “Station” mode allocates weather depending on the weather at a specific nearby weather station, hence the name. This isn’t possible when the weather is set to a ‘global’ mode. Anyone who has flown in the real world will tell you that you can see differences most of the time – clear patches, the cloud ‘wall’ that delineates an approaching front, localised showers that can be seen well in advance and avoided. when flying online in multiplayer), but the downside is that the weather is the same ‘wall to wall’. This means you get predictable weather, which is great when identical weather conditions are required for an area (e.g. In “global” mode, whatever the weather is doing at your closest station, those settings are applied to the entire world. To oversimplify things a little, there are two ways of handling FS weather “global” and “station”. The reasons for the development of FSGRW are primarily because of the way that most FS weather applications handle the weather. This time I’m going to start by discussing why FSGRW was developed at all, because that’s going to be the crux of the review and what will set you down the path of deciding whether it is for you or not. Normally speaking, reviews start with a section discussing the installation of the package, how much space it takes up on your hard drive, its documenation and things like that. The company is best known for the FS Global area scenery packages, but with the release of FS Global Real Weather (FSGRW) they have taken on the incumbents on their home turf and are gaining a very definite foothold, so why is that? What does FSGRW bring to the table? Well, obviously that’s the job of this article to examine, so let’s get straight on with it. ![]() That last statement doesn’t apply to Pilot’s, however. Pretty much every one promises the most ‘realistic’ weather possible in the sim and most people, certainly most developers, seem to consider it a closed market dominated by one or two major players. There are, and have been for a while, a large number of weather generation and injection packages available for Microsoft’s flight simulator series. ![]()
