i dont think that its a matter of predicting the weather, but a CURRENT weather brief at the departing field listed in the detail screen.

just as in real life, the pilot gets this brief from the ATIS from the field or closest weather station.

at a minimum: wind direction, QFE, temp, cloud bases, 7/8th, 1/2, 1/4 broken, overcast... etc, etc....

i think that there is a way to take this info right from a specific file just before flight and export that info into the brief using some code/script. especially where dynamic weather is added to the mission and even the mission creator doesnt know what the weather will be until they click fly.

the issue we see is that even in clear skies, winds, and outside temp are unknown until the CDU starts to report them at airborne.

ED modeled this sim enough to where in cold windy conditions your engines will stall. i love this modeling. but how will the pilot know he is in these conditions?

Edit:

this is not a rant directed towards you. I respect your intelligence and value your opinion greatly. just trying to find a solution to this predicament.
