Okay, thank you very much Pete for helping me, I appreciate. I will speak with my internship manager about ActiveSky, which sounds better for our simulator. For my own project, I will find an other way to realize my experiments, but thank you very much for your advice and explanations. Thomas.

Because OpusFSX needs METAR text statement data from NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) and these data are available only for the past 24 hours. Yes because I have applied for NEXRAD data from NOAA and I have radar data of a storm, the 29th of March, which happened near West Palm Beach, FL I'm going to watch deeper the facilities they provide. ActiveSky sounds very powerful. So if I have well understood, ActiveSky is a weather engine like OpusFSX ? Thanks in advance, Thomas.

I'm discussing with someone from OpusFSX who told me that Opus only has weather from the last 24hours. The data they use is METAR data. My problem is that I want to have a storm at a specific place because with the weather data I have, there is a storm at a place and in order to demonstrate that my device is efficient, I need to display on the simulator this storm. And obviously I cannot wait for a real storm happening to do my experiments (particularly during the summer where the sun is always shining in Florida). That's why I want to modify the weather displayed by the simulator, using FSUIPC or Opus, to have this storm at this specific area. Thank you for the time you have taken to answer me. Thomas.

Thank you very muc for your answer, I am going to contact people from OpusFX because we use it in our simulator. So if I well understand, at Offset C000 I can write the current weather of the FS with any value I want, right ? and Offset B000 allows me to write the weather I want to each METAR facility ? Sorry if I misunderstand, and thank you in advance. Thomas.

Hello everyone, I'm a new member on this forum and I have several questions. I'm a French computer science student currently in internship in a lab in Melbourne, FL. We have here a B737 Simulator that runs under Prepar3d and uses FSUIPC. I'm working on the weather and for my experiments, I would like to know if it is possible to replay a past weather ? For example I'm designing a device that uses the weather radar data from the 29th of March, 2014 and I would like to know how to use these data (which are in the specific radar data format but can be exported to KMZ file) on Prepar3d to display the same weather as my device does. I haven't watched the simulator code yet, I just know that it exists in FSUIPC at Offset C000 a XML file called New Weather that may allow me to do what I want, but I'm not sure and I don't know how it works. Thank you in advance for helping me !
