• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

WTB theme file

Hi,

I am currently working on a free new weather engine for FSX.
My intention is to depict the real weather (as reported in METAR) in a way that it also looks good and immersive. Thus, the reports are not taken for granted but enhanced, smoothed and modified according to a convincing visualization in FSX.

Currently I am using simconnect to create (SimConnect_WeatherCreateStation) and inject (SimConnect_WeatherSetObservation) the weather into the sim.
Although it works OK, you probably know what difficulties and unpleasent side-effects this technique have.

Thats why I want to try out the weather-theme based injection like it is done with the latest commercial weather engines.

The problem I have: I do not know how to read or even create the necessary *.WTB theme file...

Does somebody know how to do it?
I am aware of the FS2004 SDK to create these files, but I have nothing found about the actual *.WTB file format.

Many thanks!

Robert
