• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Hello! I though of a cool suggestion. I’ve recently made an API for active runway at a specified airport. I could give you a link if you wanted to include it in your project.

PS. I can give you any output type (xml, json or plain text). Currently located at icao.ga/api.php?icao=
I should also add, the API calculates the active runway side for each runway (if one or the other is closed, try icao.ga to test)
Hosted on a 24/7 homebuilt web server.

You mean an API that inform the pilot wich runway is active ?
I'd love to, and I like the XML or JSON type for organization
 
What about the pmdg or fslabs WXR? Does it work without any other addons (like ASP4). Try to code/make your own
 
Hello all
I updated my engine to work with P3D v4.5, it is just fantastic :)
it has been a long time since I didn't improve the engine, but be sure that I use it always, I disabled the IVAO weather and I work with my engine now.
cheers
 
Hello all
another flight was done with the Engine :) so now i spotted some small bugs that were hiding behind the code lines and i'll try to fix them soon
Hurricane simulator is ready but didn't have time to match the UI with Core just some lines of code and it will be out
the Custom weather is 99% Done, just a small fix in the weather template and will be completed :)
Live service got TAF service OFF as it takes a long time to load but i'll try to fix that
Live Engine is now just amazing, just some small improvments and Voila!

Have a nice day everyone :)

Hi,

Nice product! Thanks for making it free :D. Is this work well with REX SkyForce 3D and Environment Force? When will it be available to the public?
 
I am also very curious how the weather tool will be. However I do not expect a 5GByte heavy program with all functions as with the well-known weather programs. If the program does its good "service", it will certainly be interesting for many people :-)
 
Hello all, you might ask why I don't post so often? well environment force is pissing me offffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
well I'm trying my best with this engine as I use it personally and some times I have to cancel a flight just to fix something (especially with new p3d compatibilities, from p3d 4.4 to 4.5.11 to 4.5.12)
and I think that the hurricane simulator gotta be reported for a future version as it really requires a lot of work and meets many problems with environment force but I'll keep the custom weather utility to users who want it

What is need to be done this week :

- Autonomy: no need to enable or control anything so the engine can work in the background without any noises
- some kind of ACARS: I use the native P3D console to do that for now but I think I'll implement it as a 2D panel in the sim when I get the program ready
- Network compatibility: to be used in many PCs at the same time (for home cockpit builders) | this requires some work
- Weather DATA sorting: or as I like to call it: WDS | this is more like a new program that I'm working on that will sort weather data and store them in the weather engine to be processed and converted finally to P3D.
WDS is still in an early stage, I didn't link it to the engine yet, therefore, the engine is doing a great job even without WDS.

a long list but can be done,
have a nice day everyone. :)

it's free :p
Ha ha. I have praised you for that in one of my previous comment :D.

So, other than that all the features provided in ActiveSky can be found in your tool?

I would suggest you to change the name from "My Weather Engine" to "Live Metar", "Live Weather", "AliveSky" or "LivelySky", to be focused on the mission of the tool. It would just be my suggestion though ;).
