Real weather, modeled & injected.
StrataWx is the modern alternative to the legacy X-Plane weather engines. It feeds live atmospheric data into X-Plane 12 in real time: winds and temperatures aloft, cloud decks, precipitation, pressure, turbulence, and aviation hazards, written straight into the running sim's own regional atmosphere. No plugin, no files dropped into your X-Plane folder, no menu fiddling, and none of the abrupt jumps of older weather engines. The weather updates continuously and eases into place while you fly, anywhere on Earth, because StrataWx is built on global forecast models rather than US-only feeds.
KEY FEATURES
- Turbulence you actually feel. Per-altitude turbulence is mapped onto the ride itself, with clear-air and convective bands taken from the column model and thermal activity driven by the convective analysis.
- Altimetry done properly. Pressure is injected as a true sea-level reduction through the actual column temperature rather than the raw altimeter setting, which is worth several hundred feet of altimetry at high-elevation fields.
- Smooth transitions. Per-channel smoothing and slew limiting, with a cold-start snap so you load straight into correct conditions instead of watching the sky settle.
- Four modes. Live for current real weather, Historical to replay any past instant from the ERA5 reanalysis archive, Sandbox to author your own conditions, and Hybrid to mix authored weather over a live base.
- Global coverage. Winds, temperatures, precipitation, and computed hazards (icing, turbulence, freezing levels, convective bands) are equal fidelity worldwide via Open-Meteo and GFS, with international SIGMET, AIRMET, and PIREP advisories.
- Flight-plan aware. Pull a SimBrief route or load X-Plane's native FMS plan and preview real weather at each waypoint's planned altitude, with winds, temperatures, and hazards fix by fix.
