Do you also know if it's possible to download a fms on pc with weather fx? I downloaded a fms version 2.0 beta 7 and it doesn't have weather fx. If I can't download one on the internet do you know if it's possible to go buy one?
You can't do wind or other weather effects in FMS. Realflight G2 does have these options, and comes with a controller, but its expensive (USD $200)
I know that there is someone that is making interfaces for FMS using the microchip PIC, but offhand I forgot who that is. FMS does come with instructions for making your own, but the PIC is not a place for beginners who don't have the necessary programmer to start out. If you are using windows 98 or older, (possibly ME but I don't know for sure), you can make a simple Parallel (printer) port interface by wiring up according to the included instructions in FMS.
