One of the most important things for any user of flight simulators is being able to integrate every feature into the way that you actually fly. This means trying to replicate the real-life detail and procedure that a genuine pilot would take at any given time, in every aspect of the flight experience. This includes the weather, of course, but without the right training then utilizing the weather properly in a flight simulator can be quite a difficult thing to achieve.

This is why the latest tutorial from Bill Stack, Using Weather in Microsoft Flight Simulator, gives you the greatest chance possible of manipulating the weather to look as realistic and effective as possible to really maximize your experience.

However, this tutorial is designed to create full clarity for managing the weather within Microsoft Flight Simulator. One of the most complex yet controllable features within the entire simulator, being able to manipulate this to your own needs is immensely powerful and can really enhance the experience for anyone who has knowledge of experience of flying in the weather. The games own features can be tweaked and modified to really provide that genuine, realistic weather experience.

Learn From The Best

When it comes to using the Microsoft Flight Simulator series, you would be hard pressed to find somebody with more credibility about knowledge & practice than the author of this package. The design nature of the entire tutorial means you will never receive too much information at once, making digesting what you are learning much easier. You'll pick up key information about the flight simulation experience that has been created with professional software and equipment. Everything is clear and easy to understand, and digital examples are easy to follow.

Animated highlights have also been included for the most key aspects of the tutorial, allowing you to take in the most vital points right away with easy to follow information on-screen. The audio quality has been refined time and time again and with an easy to understand accent, there is nothing that you'll struggle to understand of hear. There are full instructions included to get everything running smoothly, and you'll feel like you have downloaded an official manual for the game, such is the depth of knowledge.

The tutorial is based on the Microsoft Flight Simulator series, so please remember that this is for simulation purposes only. Although as close as possible to the real thing, Microsoft Flight Simulator still has its limitations compared to real-life - so don't try and use this training for real-life experimentation.

Also, this tutorial purely deals with the vanilla - or basic - edition of Microsoft Flight Simulator. With so much extra out there to be added in, it would be impossible to make a tutorial that covers it all. Therefore, you can ramp up the features and quality of the weather even further by using weather packs and add-ons. None of the official add-ons or DLC are accounted for here, either.

Have been an avid flight sim'er for years. Was looking for a tutorial that would give me some insight into how to create pretty and complex cloud formations, maybe a hurricane or a tornado (being ridiculous here) ... you get the point ... but all I got was a well produced video explaining the Microsoft written instructions. If you don't know A THING about FSX weather, this is a nice, concise start.

Very well made sample video, I always find it difficult to fly a 747 into a hurricane, perhaps these weather books and videos will do it. DAVE
