DCS Weather - Real time weather in your DCS World


Recommended Posts

negative. but, worse, it's realistic that with any version after 2.1.1 won't work anymore due to significant improvements in the mod structure.

 

I'm trying to figure out how to get the very same result in a different structure. No timeline, but i'm optimistic :)

The thing is, helicopters are different from planes. An airplane by it's nature wants to fly, and if not interfered with too strongly by unusual events or by a deliberately incompetent pilot, it will fly. A helicopter does not want to fly. It is maintained in the air by a variety of forces in opposition to each other, and if there is any disturbance in this delicate balance the helicopter stops flying; immediately and disastrously.

Hey Chromium I have a couple quick questions

 

1. When you set the weather system to pull the data at mission start will it implement rain? I ask because in the editor you have to select rain if its available.

 

2. Does DAWS weather work with DAWS package?

 

3. This one is more of a idea, is there any way that we can take the weather data and make a approximation for the random value of the dynamic weather system? That way we get a approximation of real weather (aka storm systems moving, ect?) I have no idea how the dynamic system is coded so I dont even know if this is really possible.

First, to be clear at most:

DAWS weather implement rain, storm, snow and snowstorm depending from temperature, cloud coverage and current metar data. But the separated DAWS Weather mod is not compatible anymore with DCS World since 1.5.7 and I'm not going to update it.

 

I'm going to try to implement DAWS Weather functionality, with the same effect as now, in DAWS package. You will loose the ability to load a weather in the mission editor, but you will have automatic weather update at any mission start (if I find a way to get it work properly)

 

1. yes

2. Yes till 1.5.6 with DAWS Package compatible with 1.5.6 (current release of DAWS Package is not compatible with 1.5.6).

3. Negative, I don't have the coding skills and the correct sources to make it happen. I know someone achieve that (DCS NL server) and I asked about it, but they answered me "It took a lot of time and effort to have this". Therefore I doubt they would like to share. And I understand them.

Negative.

I will evaluate some sort of integration in DAWS Package 2.5 version, but I don't think before march/april.

It is not much my work, is some sort of adaption to freeware metar.lua file that you could found in the internet and a conversion of those parameters in the static weather table.

 

Still this "merge" is very much time consuming so I need some free days to get it work inside Package. Else, updating the old version is even worse due to some important changes in the GUI.

 

I will get this in place, one day or another.

In the mean time until DAWS gets updated, and you looking to automatically set real time weather (METAR) in your mission you could try my script

Negative, or at least, not tested.

It does not work since DCS 1.5. Consider it discontinued :)
