Then add the longitude, latitude, and elevation. If you would like to add in your own custom weather, add lines to the METAR.rwx file that list the reporting station name as MDEG. If you want to download weather at some other time, you can always come back to this window and press the Download right now button. X-Plane will automatically download the weather METAR and winds aloft file, and will set a timer to re-download in one hour.

Check the box labeled Download Real Weather files from the net. To use real-world weather, you can check the “use Real-Weather and Winds-Aloft” from the Quick Flight screen, or you can select it from the Weather screen, an option found under the Environment menu. There, select the large radio button at the top of the window labeled grab real weather from the net.

Real-world weather is provided by hourly METAR reports that cover the entire world, while real world winds are available only in the United States with data provided by NOAA. X-Plane 10.40 includes the capability to download as well as create your own weather and winds.
