Any feedback on dll example released?
Sorry, we didn't have time yet to updated our external DLL samples as we still modify the messaging system. Once it reaches a more stable stable we will publish the sample DLL again.

Thanks for the response. Will it be possible to add some messages for manipulating the clouds etc, which was not possible in FS2? That would be a really nice addition.
Really looking forward to a feature in the DLL interface which lets us change the weather while in flight. Even if it would make the clouds "jump", it still would be a nice addition, making flights and flight planning more challenging.
aenbacka What are your plans for a cloud / weather interface? I once started with an idea where the Sim was supposed to change the current weather to the nearest airports METAR fetched from the internet while the plane was moving. (Actually the current Wettergerät is the leftover of this idea.)

Armitage Yes I have been using the Wettergerät and it works really good. My primary idea would be to be able to use e.g., my current Control Center plugin (which currently allows to e.g., dynamically set the current time, transponder code, and visibility value based on the current (nearest) METAR) to set the current weather at the location inside the simulator session (without having to restart the sim).
Also, secondary, it would be nice to dynamically change the weather during flight based on the nearest METAR (even though it could cause sudden jumps in weather as you mentioned). It would be possible to do some interpolation between current and new weather states to ensure a more smooth transition.
But all these ideas require change to the external dll interface, allowing us to manipulate the weather / cloud parameters.
aenbacka I also had the idea of blending two METAR values (https://github.com/fboes/aerofly-…oflyBlender.cpp). I am really looking forward to your plugin - this would elevate the weather part of flying to mew heights.

Thanks for the link, we could consider using that once the plugin functionality is available. The first thing would be for IPACS to add the weather parameters to the dll interface. I agree, it would be great with a more dynamic weather system😀
It seems that API was fixed in new version and dll example is working, am I right?
@aenbacka can you you check your plugin?

Will check it out when I am back home at the computer tomorrow 👍

I did try with my plugin, but is seem that it does not still work properly with the latest beta.
