I like this item because:
1. It generates different weather at different places. Default themes from FS2004 don't have such feature even with highest weather change rate.
2. The weather difference is in a range of logics, for example it depends on time of year, place on globe, close locations have reasonable difference in the weather conditions.
3. I don't like to be on-line during flight, so "Wetter 2004" gives me possibility do not use "Real weather" feature.
4. I see visually conditions more far in flight at high altitude by using "Wetter 2004" than using FS2004 weather generating features.
5. I've received the answer to my question from author just in few hours.

From my long experience with real world weather tools, this is the only tool that solves the problem of abrupt wind direction changes when FS2004 switches weather between airports (by far the most vexing issue in FS2004). Wind direction and pressure changes are much more smooth since the random weather patterns are pre-calculated for all the airports of a given region based on the time of day and season. Really abrupt transitions can only occur when airports are very far apart, such as over large bodies of water where airports are widely spaced (and that's an FS2004 weather limitation, not a Wetter restriction).
Cloud formations also appear more realistic than the "patchwork" effect that seems to happen with real world weather tools, and there are no abrupt appearances or disappearances of cloud banks as I've seen frequently in real world weather. The cloud patterns are horizon to horizon, giving a much more realistic appearance to the weather systems even while at altitude on long-haul flights.
The author was also very prompt at replying to my questions as well as my feature request. |

Contacted the vendor several times to try to get precise info on this product. It is only a random weather generator. If this is what you want then great.
It is far better to decide where to fly then generate the weather yourself using a theme. If you want a real storm use Flight Keeper to download world weather to display it on a world map then go and fly there. |

A further note to my former review. From the info given about the product here, one gets the idea that they are the wonderful features of the product. But most of these features are default in FS2004 so in my opinion this is misleading. For €10 it would be worth it but at €30 ? |
