Using SimConnect to Get the current weather from Prepar3D

Post by haroldFDavidson »

Hi All,
I am developing a weather tool for use with Prepar3D, but i'm having some difficulty finding variables for the current weather in Prepar3D.
Is there any way to find the current cloud types, visibility and wind speeds, and output them to SimConnect?

Thanks in advance

Have you looked at the SDK? SimConnect has several weather specific API functions.
