MEBAR Weather Files and the Use of Weather Engines (Active Sky, REX, etc.)

[Andrew Godden 945]

There appears to be some confusion about the use of the weather files supplied for the MEBAR.

 

The Flight Situation files provided on the Downloads page create the specific weather conditions using the weather engine integral to each respective flight sim. Obviously, this is done in order to standardise the representation of the weather that participants encounter. They should be installed in the default locations as indicated on the Downloads page.

 

There is no need to load them into a weather engine. Using a weather engine, such as Active Sky, REX, etc. can cancel out the specific weather effects provided. Therefore, any external 3rd party weather engine MUST be disabled while flying the MEBAR Flight Legs.
