Alesima1 Posted December 22, 2024 Report Posted December 22, 2024 (edited) It's disappointing to buy an aircraft that the developer claims to be the most complete for X-Plane 11 (possibly the most expensive as well) and see that it doesn't have a working weather radar, performance calculator and other things that ALL other aircrafts have (even the freeware ones). I'm very disappointed. Edited December 22, 2024 by Alesima1 1 Quote

Pils Posted February 6 Report Posted February 6 Before anyone asks there’s nothing in 12.1.4 either. We wait, and wait… Quote

I'm very disappointed. I hazard a guess that most of the "weather radar" found in other addons is - admittedly - quite useful in giving you some depiction of what X-Plane may have generated as moisture and clouds around you. I am currently flying some Airbus addon and I am pretty happy that I have some sort of weather depiction on my ND. Still - in most cases, it fails to reproduce the real workings of a weather radar, with tilt, gain, ground clutter, and all the intricacies. Edited February 6 by bpcw0001 Quote

I know you guys don't want to do it, and for good reasons, but please do weigh it against how offputting it can be to not have any weather depiction at all and enjoy the aircraft getting torn apart in a night-time thunderstorm that could not be seen.

That will not be pursued. Allocating resources to this would not provide a return on investment, especially with a fully featured API on the way, ensuring proper compatibility. Developing a temporary solution in the meantime would be an unnecessary expenditure. 1 Quote
