mutley 4,487 Posted July 9, 2016 Report Share Posted July 9, 2016 Just published is Brian Buckley's review of REX / Milviz's WX Advantage Weather Radar. This new product takes weather radar functionality to another level, so how good is it? Read on... Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Coffee 2,030 Posted July 9, 2016 Report Share Posted July 9, 2016 Looks like a very good piece of equipment. And a fair grade given to it especially given the comment/neg report that it shuts off when you switch views...doh. If I were a tube flyer and flew IFR a lot, I would be seriously interested in this, but as I mostly light GA and VFR, I tend to just use the ASN map as my Weather Radar...it has a HUGE field of view. Interestingly, some of my aircraft interface with ASN already, and display weather on their built in weather radars...the clarity doesn't match what I see in Brian's review of WXAR, but suits my needs. Great review of a neat product Brian...thanks for your effort! Link to post Share on other sites
SEATAC 400 Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 Quite an interesting product. But a couple of things on my mind. 1) can you open the weather panel and drag and drop it where you like? I typically use a second monitor and place various guages on it (FMC, GPS, etc). Or is this a fixed panel? 2) What is point of seeing potential turbulence if FSX doesn't simulate turbulence? Link to post Share on other sites
needles 1,010 Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 Hi Richard, You can indeed open the panel and place wherever you wish. It has the same attributes as any other panel in your flight sim', where you can right click on the panel and undock it, then move it to your desired location. There are some aircraft though that have the panel integrated into the aircrafts cockpit. Having said that you would still be able to open a separate panel and move it where you wish. As for FSX and turbulence, I have my turbulence setting set quite high in aircraft realism and this coupled with Active Sky Next weather, I do get buffeted about in strong winds, so this facility does actually have a role to play. Hope this helps. Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
SEATAC 400 Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 Thanks for the information Brian. Much appreciated. I'll have to check my turbulence setting, I must have it very low. Link to post Share on other sites
