It’s laughable really, that people are releasing add-ons like that.
As i mentioned in other post with other words, sadly in ms flightsims because the hype, every turd became payware.
So this one looks pretty cool - not in my AO, so I won’t buy it, but I like little airports like this that have some character and detail…
Not a bad price
The list of weathers so far:
- Blizzard. Lots of snow and wind. Visibility is low.
- Fog. A simple blanket of fog across the landscape. No gusts of wind or precipitation. Visibility isn’t THAT bad but you’ll definitely want to fly IFR
- Freezing Rain. This one is scary. Your aircraft will begin icing up very quickly as you gain altitude. Better take an ice rated one!
- November Flurry. A gentle flurry. Not too cold, not too windy.
- Scattered Showers. This one you can actually fly VFR. It’s one of my favorites, as you get to maneuver around the clouds… or just go through them. And it looks amazing. Keep an eye out for rainbows!
- Scattered Thunderstorms. This one is really cool as well. They aren’t particularly violent thunderstorms but you’ll find space between them.
- Scattered Snow Showers. A crisp gray day with intermittent snow squalls. As long as you’re out of the squalls there’s a high enough ceiling to fly VFR. Very picturesque.
- Spring Drizzle. A gentle drizzle with little to no wind. You know those spring days where it drizzles for 8 hours at a time? That’s this.
- Misty Rain. A calmer rain with very low visibility.
- Tropical Storm. For the brave. Insane rain. Pretty bad wind. Not hurricane level, but it will give light craft some trouble, with 20 knot gusts. Very poor visibility.
- Desert Heat. Around 115F/47C. It does lower your RPM by quite a bit, and I assume aircraft have less lift as well. It also looks like the engine gets hotter but I’m not sure if that affects anything. Maybe in more detailed planes it will.
- Bitter Cold. Around -43F/C. This affects RPMs a ton, and I assume lift. There’s also some nasty wind that you’ll need to account for in light craft.
IMPORTANT!!!
READ INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS. THIS DOESN’T INSTALL LIKE OTHER MODS… yet.
TO INSTALL (steam): Open the archive, drag and drop the Weather folder into C:\Users{yourAccount}\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator
If "C:" isn’t the disk your Windows isn’t installed on obviously choose the right disk. Make sure hidden folders are unhidden. If you cannot find the AppData folder, press Windows Button + R (or select Run from start menu) and type in: “%AppData%”. You can also put this into the url bar thing of windows explorer.
NOTE (for windows store users): the above is what I did with the steam version. Apparently the windows store version does not work the same. For example the user Wallmersbacher had to use C:\Users<your username>\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_\LocalState He had to put his weather folder in there. If you find a different pathway post it in the comments to help out others and anyone else who wants to share weather… we can only hope MS puts the weather presets in a more sensible location so we can share these things easier
The intro is a work of art!
LEGO, in MSFS…! ![]()
Maybe I missed it but there’s a nice Moscow Landmark DLC in game… pretty packed full of stuff. (for those into sight seeing more then flying, like me. lol)
(BTW… wish me luck, offline for a month starting tomorrow, taking my motorcycle around the US… solo… visiting old Army buddies, going through 30 states. See what’s new when I get back… OUT.)
Safe travels! Hope you don’t get any fog this time on the Blue Ridge Parkway if you get up there. You should be hitting some good foliage this time of year. Post a pic or two along the way…
Actually I plan on using my GoPro 7 to timewarp the blue ridge parkway ride from start to finish… will post the link from my you tube page IF it works.
Good luck bud, happy trails.
Have a great time @Magnum50. Looking forward to the AAR’s.
Wheels
So…@Magnum50 being Magnum…I wonder…did he pack an X-Box, Alienware laptop, or a Nintendo Switch? ![]()
Actually I’m not that way anymore… getting further and further away from gaming every year… more into riding, shooting, and drinking now days… but not all at the same time, lol. Leaving tomorrow night. Trying the iron butt challenge from Naples, FL. to Virginia… 1000 miles in 24 hours non stop. First… then the sight seeing trips. ![]()
Have a nice trip!
That’s a show I’d watch though!
It’s like a mini cannonball run…!
As someone who has driven non-stop from Ohio to Texas (never again)and also flown some very long trips on the back side of the clock, all I can say is have fun and be very careful on that leg of your trip. Hope you have a great tour of the States, it sounds like an epic trek! It would be great if you could share an occasional SITREP and some photos of your journey. ![]()
