MaxRoodveldt Posted April 12, 2004 Report Posted April 12, 2004 Dear Pete, do you know by any chance if there's a way to read the coordinates of those dynamic cumulus clouds fs2004 is drawing? I would love to put some thermals underneath - I finally succeeded to add "sink" to my thermals - but I need to locate those clouds first... btw - I don't need the coordinates of all the clouds - the one closest to the plane will do fine... regards, Max
Pete Dowson Posted April 12, 2004 Report Posted April 12, 2004 do you know by any chance if there's a way to read the coordinates of those dynamic cumulus clouds fs2004 is drawing? Sorry, no. It was one of the questions I put to Microsoft during development, but their answer was that, basically, it isn't possible at present. No doubt there must, somethere, be graphic instructions with xyz coordinates, but the graphics side of FS is a complete unkown to me and I wouldn't know where to start I'm afraid. Most of the interest in this short of thing was/is for decent and accurate weather radar. There are some weather radar programs about which appear to do a good job, though presumably they are doing it on a "macro" scale (based on weather reports from the different WX stations) rather than on the micro scale in which you'd be interested. However, you could ask the authors of those -- provided you aren't competing with them (they are commercial) I don't see why they wouldn't help, assuming they did know something. Regards, Pete
MaxRoodveldt Posted April 12, 2004 Author Report Posted April 12, 2004 Pete, thanks for the answer anyway and I'll take a look at the radar lead... Regards, Max
