• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Under Rule 14:
"Pilots may choose their weather engine for the race as long as they stick with their choice throughout. The options are enumerated in the General Rules. Teams will publish a list of their pilot choices so that everyone knows what is going on."

This thread is for the purpose of complying with that portion of the rules. Please make your declarations below and at/near the start of the race we can compile and publish a condensed list.

For 2019 I will be:

flying FSX
using Active Sky (AS16)

FS9/ default weather as a crisis backup
 
Flying FSX, and this year using FSXWX. (However, I note that in the General Rules, 6.E.iii, FSXWX is not explicitly listed as one of the allowable weather engines. If required, I can use FSRealWx Pro, which is listed there).

Since FSXWX isn't listed in the allowable weather engines, and I haven't had extensive experience with it, I'm going back to using FSrealWX Pro.
 
The Executive Committee cannot personally vouch for FSXWX.

Our best report, from multiplayer use alongside others using Active Sky, it that the weather pretty much mimicked live changes in Active Sky (although it might not update quite as often).

However there are also (scattered) reports of some problems in terms of reliability in its interaction with FSX.

So FSXWX is legal in the 2019 RTWR. But the user should be careful and do some testing.
