• 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!
Somebody knows why i get SIMCONNECT_EXCEPTION_WEATHER_INVALID_METAR in MSFS 2020 SDK SimConnect?

I try this one:
C#: 
simconnect.WeatherSetObservation(0, "GLOB METAR 0000Z 13008KT 9999M SCT030 33/01 Q1005");

It looks like this function does not work at all :(

Thanks.
Victor.
 
According to to folks who developed Active Sky, MSFS presently does not support modification of the weather by 3rd party add-ons. They stated this in reference to the MSFS SDK, but that most likely applies to any SimConnect weather-related calls also. MSFS does not query the real time worldwide METAR database, but rather uses weather forecasts from a company called MeteoBlue.
 
REX Simulations just announced that they are working in a weather add-on for MSFS which does not rely on the SDK. So maybe you shouldn't give up so quickly. My guess is their approach is to hack into the sim in some fashion. I give REX points for trying but I'm betting that it will be a lot harder to do than they think.
