Hi Andrew, The community are eagerly awaiting FSLABS products if you are under some form of NDA then please just say you are under an NDA and cannot talk about future projects. The Concorde at least should be able to share since that is public knowledge. Nothing since August 15th 2023 people will start to give up on your products, communication is all anyone is asking for. Kind regards Duncan Odgers

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.

Hi Duncan, I did reply here, but it probably got buried. NDAs are SOP in most industries, even more so in ours, so I imagine it isn't too surprising. I know the team is hugely excited to share details on the projects we are working on when we are in a position to do so. Regards, Dunc

Hi Duncan, Whilst the team do indeed remain under NDA, we have said quite a few times since last August that we are continuing to being our existing product line to the MSFS platform.

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…

It‘s good to see the Asobo is also making progress there. Still, let‘s see what Active Sky can bring to the sim, as none of the civil airliners available features a weather radar yet. AS, the FSLabs Busses and the combination of the two are probably the only things that I still miss from P3D.

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.

Not so sure about that ... Read the product description carefully. Seems this is just another preset-based program, like Rex and XEnviro. As for the historical wx bit, well historical presets would be a better term
