Atmosphere/weather parameters at disposal ?

Everything related to weather simulation, visuals should be discussed in the shader subforum.

Atmosphere/weather parameters at disposal ?

Postby miroi » Fri May 01, 2020 12:20 pm

Hello everybody,

I appreciate the FG simulator and various atmosphere/weather variations within.

My question/suggestion is this: would it be please possible to have some atmosphere/weather parameters on a (special) display in the cockpit ? There are topics tought at universities related to the atmosphere/weather/air pollution.

I am thinking on collecting those parameters during simulated flights from various locations on Earth, like temperature, air pressure, wind direction/speed, humidity, maybe some chemistry (O3, pollutants...).

Comments ?

Best, Miro

Hi Miro,

Certainly it's possible. Many of the weather parameters are stored in the property tree and can be either displayed on the screen, or an instrument created to display them in the cockpit.

If you have a look in the wiki (link at the top of the page) and in particular the following pages, you should be able to see what is available:
