No idea, I'm not into MP at all, so I know next to nothing about how easy or difficult it is to transmit anything more. > Sorry this dumb questions, I just had the intention to show flightgear > weather on a external map/radar and now I need a contemporary way how to > get i.e. the thunderstorm data to show. I'm not sure how this is supposed to work. Weather works currently in a rather plane-centered approach, i.e. in Basic Weather the weather everywhere in the sim is how it is at the plane's location (i.e. if you can't see a thunderstorm, there isn't one elsewhere either), Advanced Weather has a limited horizon of 'knowing' the weather in a radius of ~150 km around you. Neither system is in sync with the MP server - you can use any weather you like, online or offline, so in a formation flight one plane can be in bright sunlight whereas the other can be in foggy dawn (just look at the FGUK event screenshots to see how different individual people see weather). It's not clear to me what an external map *should* then be showing if MP use doesn't force same weather for everyone. > Could a thunderstorm be shared over network basically ? Or better, > should weather be shared trough a RTI federation ? Is there some kind of > a "weather engine" and interface for pilots/teacher/atc already ? There's a lengthy discussion on sharing weather in a rather general context over MP here http://www.flightgear.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=69&t=15516 The consensus seems to be that (with some limitations) this can be done in principle. Just someone would need to do it in practice, and I'm not going to do it because I'm not into MP in the first place, so this seems to be where this is stuck.
