The CS WXR does not create "own random paints" but interpret exact FSX weather data regardless of its source (default, real-time).  

As for the "out the window" FSX image (clouds/rain/storms) accuracy, it depends on how FSX display engine interprets its own weather data into its own visual objects you see out the window. If there are any accuracy issues so enquiries should be directed to Microsoft.



Thanks for the reply. So does this mean that if I can see a large storm cell cloud in front of me in FSX, that CS Weather Radar will show the same storm cell in the same position on the radar display?

Being a real world pilot, I'm just trying to establish if your CS Weather Radar will work for me just like real Wx radar - if I can see a CB (cumulo-nimbus) then the radar should paint it at the same distance and bearing as what I can see out the window.

Many thanks,
Peter.
