I still have a lot of reading to do regarding the dll and what can and cannot be done. Here's a scenario I am wondering about. -
I create a small C++ script that reads current temps in local METAR (we already know the sim can output the nearest airport)
Then use one of the aircraft's probes eg <[string8][InputTotalTemperature][TemperatureSensor.TotalTemperature]> to intercept the live weather and use that temp instead of ISA
pData->robert_live_weather_temp_c = wx.temp_c;
pData->robert_live_weather_temp_k = wx.temp_k;
pData->robert_live_weather_qnh_hpa = wx.qnh_hpa;
pData->robert_live_weather_wind_dir_deg = wx.wind_dir_deg;
pData->robert_live_weather_wind_speed_kt = wx.wind_speed_kt;
pData->robert_live_weather_fresh = 1.0;
This is way above my pay grade of £0, but I thought I'd check > I remember a group of users recently saying they are working on a weather mod.
I'm also wondering why the weather can only normally be modified before the sim starts. Is this just a hard limitation of the sim, or essentially just chosen so people like me can't break the sim
just curios as to why I can adjust visibility while the sim is running, but not change the wind and temps.
This is not for a mod, I'm just trying to learn
Thanks
