A Flight Simulator First

For the first time a true weather radar is available for Flight Simulator. The new technology proved to reliably detect the clouds and water bodies position and actually distinguish between the several types.
The Wx500 Weather Radar delivers comprehensive weather detection capability. With its superior weather display you get the time you need to select the smoothest, most-efficient routes around dangerous weather systems.
Complete Weather Radar Simulation

WX500 is built with the Reality XP’s avionics expertise and is enhanced with our latest technologies to deliver an unmatched and ultra realistic simulation of modern onboard weather radar as well as a solid training aid. Adjust the TILT angle to isolate precipitation echo returns from the ground.
Leading Technology

Using real-time simulated weather conditions and 3D volumetric clouds in Flight Simulator, the Wx500 provides the best radar picture for the outside weather conditions, including the influence of Flight Simulator cumulonimbus and heavy cumulus per their location and strength as they can actually be seen through the windshield.
Any weather, any addon
The Wx500 weather radar simulation is compatible with the default weather system, as well as any third party weather generation solution for Flight Simulator.
