The goal
You’re not trying to become a meteorologist. You’re trying to make a go / no-go decision with confidence.
A simple workflow
- Big picture: fronts and pressure
- Local details: ceilings, visibility, winds
- Terrain + alternates: where does it get ugly?
- Decision: what would you do in the real world?
In-sim settings that matter
Match winds aloft, turbulence realism, and visibility smoothing to your intended experience.
