In this section the current weather is displayed as METAR code and translated text.

You can choose if the translated text it displayed as continuous text or structured table. Additionally you can decide if all or only official weather METAR data is displayed.

Note: flight simulator uses the official METAR format, but extends is with additional extensions. FS-FlightControl can decode both, the official METAR data as well as the flight simulator extensions.

You can load the current weather into the custom_weather section or save it as weather_presets.

You have the option to enable real-time weather in this section.

First you need to choose which weather data source should be used. You can choose from the official weather from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) or one of the online communities Virtual Air Traffic Simulation Network (VATSIM) and International Virtual Aviation Organization (IVAO).

Then you can either send the current real-time weather directly to flight simulator or load it into the custom_weather section.

To enable continues real-time weather just activate the corresponding check box. This will enable automated real-time weather updates for all weather stations around the current aircraft location.

You can choose how often this weather update should be performed by entering a certain time interval or a flown distance (or both).

Additionally you can define that automated weather updates should not be performed when the aircraft is below a certain altitude above ground. This makes sure that the pilot is not disturbed while doing an approach.

Below that some information is displayed to show when the next automated weather update will be performed.
