Doppler Radar
EHM-1554 Chris:
Does ne body know if there is anywhere to get a doppler radar for FS that actually works in co-ordance with the current weather?
EHM-0654 Murray:
I know of two (both payware though...)
RealityXP WX500 Weather Radar (works with whatever weather engine you choose to use)
and
ActiveSky 2004.5 which includes ActiveRadar Weather Radar
Personally, I find myself using ActiveSky/ActiveRadar more as it delivers more information.
EHM-1554 Chris:

If you have FS2004 and an active Internet connection when you're flying (whether you are flying on or offline) I'd say ActiveSky [ http://www.hifisim.com/activesky20045.htm ] is definitely worth the money (29.95 EUR) for what it gives you; high resolution real-world weather and a pretty good weather radar (with METAR decoding as a side function)
The RealityXP one [ http://www.reality-xp.com/products/WX5/index.htm ] is far more realistic (it *is* a Bendix King RDR150/160 for flight sim) and will work with whatever you have doing your weather (FS in-built, FS Meteo, ActiveSky) and regardless of your Internet connectivity, but does only one job, and nor is it that cheap - $24.95 US. Also you must be using Windows XP to use this gauge.
Of the two, I have a feeling that the RealityXP has the lower minimum spec. requirement.
EDIT: Grr! No matter what tricks I try, I can't get the ActiveSky URL to hyperlink. Cut'n'paste the address into a spare tab/window...
