Seeing as FSX doesn't support real weather even though the button is there, what's the best freeware real weather program available.

I found Open Clouds for FSX and it works great. Flying in the UK is free but for £5 per year you get worldwide cover.

I've been using FSRealWXLite for ages, FS9 and FSX... and I'm going to buy the new version (which I think is only 15 Euro)

The lite version works pretty well, and lets you choose VATSIM as a weather source as well (which works better for NZ than anything else)

My personal favourite is FSXWX

It is free and it works well for me.
