Weather on the map?
I would be cool to see a weather overlay both radar and satellite on the PE map, just for reference, like they have in vattastic and skyvector.

Re: Weather on the map?
PE doesn't really have any 'official' weather. You're free to set whatever weather you like in your sim, and the controllers always accommodate. When reading weather or altimeter settings, they go by the latest real world weather, but you're welcome to ignore this as long as you fly safely according to whatever weather you set. Ergo, it would be unrealistic to display weather on the PE map. If you're using real world weather, just go off of Skyvector, or hook your sim up to ForeFlight on an iPad.

Very limited dev resources, I'm channeling energy into client improvements and new planes. In mind mind, that's way ahead of putting weather on online map when other resources exist which do the same thing (ie, skyvector).
