ASW Posted March 1 Posted March 1 (edited) I have been observing the weather in Afghanistan in the Jalalabad area for a week now. on this website https://metar-taf.com. When you put the same one in the DCS, it turns out very beautifully! Edited March 1 by ASW 2
Nealius Posted March 1 Posted March 1 Just a note, the METAR information being used is from Peshawar, Pakistan, 104km away from Jalalabad. I've been trying to put real weather in my Afghanistan missions but it's frustrating because, for obvious reasons, not a single weather station in the country itself is functioning.
markturner1960 Posted March 3 Posted March 3 How can you maker DCS reflect real weather? 1 System specs: PC1 :Scan 3XS Ryzen 5900X, 64GB Corsair veng DDR4 3600, EVGA GTX 3090 Win 10, Quest Pro, Samsung Odyssey G9 Neo monitor.
Nealius Posted March 4 Posted March 4 https://github.com/evogelsa/dcs-real-weather It unpacks the .miz file, edits the weather lua to match as close as it can get to a user defined METAR, then repacks it into the .miz file. 1

The meter allows you to understand what the weather is like in this part of the world at this time of the year. It would be great if some company released a "weather module". As it happens, for example, in FS 2020. According to my observations, there is low cloud cover there in February, about 1000 meters from the airfield level. Clouds are often FEW.There are drizzling rains in the morning and evening, the average temperature is +12-16. Fog with visibility of 4000-5000 meters during the day. Edited March 4 by ASW

The meter allows you to understand what the weather is like in this part of the world at this time of the year. "This part of the world" being limited to Peshawar. The mountains between there and Jalalabad are going to create different conditions in Jalalabad. Same for Bagram and Kabul in their valley bowl. Kandahar and Dwyer are also vastly different climates, where the nearest reporting station is Zabol, Iran, at 500m less elevation with different temperature patterns and much higher winds than what occurs in Kandahar.

ASW Posted March 5 Author Posted March 5 I still used it. I didn't find any other options.https://www.ventusky.com/?p=34.252;71.051;9&l=wind-900hpa

I need a short tutorial video, but I haven't found it on YouTube. I realized that it was necessary to prescribe my path to the mission, but I did not understand where to insert the METAR and where his brothers were.
