There's some info here on the PM wiki: http://www.projectmagenta.com/wiki/index.php/Weather_Radar
Note that the radar takes a feed from real-world Satellite imagery ... not the weather in FS itself.

You'll also need the program PMGetWeather: http://www.projectmagenta.com/downloads/builds/pmGetWeather.zip

Thanks nic, installed everything but still no wx on the radar. I put the getwx in its own folder & shared, started the pfd/nd, fcu & mcdu....???

Was there significant weather around when you tested it? If there is no weather to display then it may actually be working ok. Try positioning to various airports and see if it picks anything up.

Does the WX annunication come up on the ND? (I'm only familiar with the B737 variety btw)

I went to Changi in Singapore with rain, Cb's but nothing. I had a connection for getwx but on the nd the grey "no wxr" was on.

Did you turn the radar on? Is getweather ruining? It will only show precipitation not clouds.

getwether is on & running & the wx radar is running on the ND...i might check the netdir see if it is setup correctly...........where is it raining at the moment??????

With Active sky, another way is to use SA-WXR in conjunction, so you will have the real weather ( or preset weather ) in FS and same weather on ND.

I use SA-WXR.... excellent program, realistic :)

Are you sure the GetWeather machine has a connection to the Interne? Sounds like it may not be pulling in data.

It is definately connected as i watched it download the latest sat image......... i will keep trying this week. If no go i will probably have a look at SA-WXR.


Thanks
