Following on from the ATIS post & the differences in wind directions / cloud base etc As a matter of curiosity & nothing else I was wondering which wx engines individuals favour?
My preference is for OPUS.
Over to you.

I use REX for FSX, but I haven't been flying FSX much recently. Just use the default in X-Plane 10.

Stock XP 10 here. It models multiple weather systems using all the current ATIS'.

I gather that X plane wx portrays accurately.
As an fsx user, for my sins, I think you would find it hard to better Opus.

X-Plane's stock weather engine pulls real weather from each airport and uses it to seed a grid of weather tiles. This allows you have different weather in each direction. For an out of the box experience, it's pretty strong.

How are the winds aloft, Keith? Just curious. Any major wind shifting?
