weather radar

Good evening everyone,
since I updated the weather radar no longer works. Or rather, it no longer updates when the range is changed. The initial image remains. If I turn it off and on again it no longer works

Thanks

I tried the weather radar better in a rainy area: it shows the rain areas. Actually when you enter the green or yellow area it rains but I don't understand how it works: it seems that the range for the weather radar doesn't work. If I change the range from 15 30 60 etc the representation of the rain areas remains the same and it's not even clear which range it corresponds to. Certainly very close, even less than 15 nm I think. If someone can kindly explain to me how the weather radar works after the update I would be very grateful. In previous versions it worked normally as in all other aircraft both by default and payware (for those that support it). When you increased or decreased the range the rain areas adapted to the selected range

Thanks

The shortcomings of the sim (ASOBO/Microsoft issue) related to the data that is available to create a weather radar are well known.  Just be aware that those that talk about how this radar or that radar works or should work, do not know what a weather radar is, how it works and what it should display at the various tilts/gains/settings.  They see green, red and yellow blobs on a screen and think "wow this works".  They are wrong.

yes, i am aware that the asobo weather radar is mostly cosmetic and does not work like a real weather radar. What i was saying is that after the update it does not even do that on the a300 anymore. Before the update it worked like the default asobo aircraft one, after the update it behaves as described in my first post. i just wanted to know if this "new" behavior is also noticed by you or if it works exactly as before for you.

thanks

Hi, apologies for delayed response. I missed this report initially. Been a hectic few weeks.

Yes I can confirm this bug, the drawn WXR image does not seem to be updating with selected range on ND.

However, I'm not able to reproduce this issue. Can you confirm the steps taken for you to notice this? I tried changing systems (1, 2 or off, then back to either), and turning the mode select knob (TEST, WX, TURB, MAP) and was still able to have the WXR work. Just the range cannot be adjusted.

Thanks!
