REX Game Studios' Microsoft Flight Simulator addon Weather Force has seen an update today, bringing a slew of fixes and other improvements.

Weather Force was released in September this year and became the first third-party weather addon to become available for Microsoft Flight Simulator - it aims to deliver 'a METAR-based, dynamic real-time weather engine' complete with 'automated, dynamic and smooth' transitions between various weather patterns reported in the real world.

A changelog for version 1.2 was provided on the group's website:

• FIXED – Multiple cloud layer decks now rendering properly.
• FIXED – Registration process, to avoid having to re-enter registration criteria.
• FIXED – Tightened weather synthesis grid to locate closer airports.
• FIXED – Reduced thickness of low level overcast cloud layers.
• FIXED – Increased font of METAR and TAF reports on main interface.
• IMPROVED – Fog rendering when no clouds are reported on the METAR.
• ADDED – Support for Pilot2ATC.
• ADDED – Option to disabled Aerosol synthesis during weather injections.
• ADDED – 4 additional Dynamic Weather Presets: Blizzard, Thunderstorm, Rainy Day and Bob Ross Happy Clouds.

The update is free for all existing users and installation instructions for the new version are available on REX's website as well.
