Yes, none of the civil airliners in MSFS have a working wxr… …apart from the Maddog MD80, the Inibuilds A300, A310, A320, the Working Title B787, B747, the ATR 42 and 72-600’s, the Asobo A320, and all the business jets using the G3000 or GNXi 1000 avionics suite…

The weather options in MSFS are perfectly fine for me as they are and amazingly authentic to look at. I always fly in actual time and in the evenings here in the UK that means some night ops but if I want to fly in daylight I will fly in the US - still in real live weather.

Ahhh.... Here's what Asobo's weather engine gives us at the moment; As you can see, the wxr detects precipitation data in a 3D cone forward of the aircraft. I can introduce precipitation and the radar will paint it and I can move this precipitation layer up and down through the cone of detection. The range of detection can be changed but there is no tilt mechanism as such. This works well on preset weather and live weather. It seems to me the problem with Asobo's live weather engine isn't wxr itself but boils down to three items; Lack of cloud types Lack of high level weather depiction Lack of turbulence within heavy weather systems; the wxr can detect it but there's no real need to avoid it in the first place. Hopefully the release of 2024 will solve these issues.
