SA-WXR - Recommended over pmGetWeather?

[NicD]

Aha!! Thanks Pete - now I know I'm not the only one. PMGetWeather regularly knocks over the PC I run it on, which is a pity.

Apparently WhazzupPlus can perform the same role but I haven't tried that yet. Running that software (which does heaps more) seems a bit of overkill just to get the radar image though.

Hi Pete,

Thanks for your views. Florian failed to mention in the blurb that it reads FS weather. I made an educated guess that it did.

I've also had hangs with pmGetWeather although it didn't appear to affect other programs running. But its biggest weakness is that it doesn't match what you see out of the cockpit window - well not to any accuracy at least.

Hopefully when I get my key I can appreciate the improvement over pmGetWeather.

Cheers.

Hope this helps,

Hi Tim,

There are lots of forums there. If I see a post there from him and I still haven't received my key I may intervene.

Thanks.

Ah ... and Enrico had me believing I was the only one!

Mind you, this is going back a year or two, so maybe I was. I stuck with SA-WXR since.

Regards

The good news is that Florian has announced a new email address for registrations in his forum. The old one was getting hit hard with spam etc. So I should have my key very soon.

Cheers.

So then what your saying is that you still haven't got a key yet?

That's crummy.

Hi Greg,

I'll be using it with FS9 and AS6 - not FSX. Is the FS9 version stable? I don't know how people get away with poor support for payware.

I'll also be running it on a laptop via WideFS. pmGetWeather ran fine on it so I see no reason why this shouldn't either. The PM Boeing GC runs on another PC also connected to FS via WideFS.

Thanks.

Ray,
Sorry for the delay in replying, pesky work. I'm running it with FS9 and AS6. SA_WXR is running on the same laptop as AS6 and WideFS, nothing else runs on this machine. SA_WXR is writing to the Netdir on my primary Project Magenta machine. So, it sounds like I have the same setup as you'll be running. Hopefuly the problems I experience are specific to my network configuration or laptop. I'd be interested to hear your experience, presuming you get a key that is...

Cheers,
Greg

Just looked at the AOG site. Interesting how a few posts are answered but most others are ignored.

No but the reason seems to be his email account. Having said that there's no reason why he didn't pick up on this by checking his forum.

Not brilliant is it? Should have it soon now.
