August 22, 20205 yr Hi there. I don't know much about simulators or whatnot. I was just wondering: the clouds in the simulator look very impressive. However, in nearly all cases, when I pick an airport to take off from, I have perfectly clear sky without any clouds. When I check the settings, then it says that the simulator takes the actual weather information and simulates that in the game. But that is not correct. Like, I just checked out an airport in southern Argentina, and according to google it's raining there right now. But in the simulator its perfectly clear sky. So I was wondering: why is the weather in the simulator nearly always cloudless, even though in reality it's not, despite me having set the game to take actual weather data? I know that I can manually alter the weather, but I was still wondering what's going on here. Thanks for any replies :)
August 22, 20205 yr Live weather does not work at the moment. It’s always clear and the wind is always 3 knots. Reported as a bug... EddieKABQ

Well that isn't quite right, i've just flown in weather that looked in every way identical to the real radar and landed at Heathrow with a 24 knot wind. What Live Weather can be is intermittent, presumably due to server load and there are reports that altitude winds are working in Europe but not in North America. People are also reporting that after a flight you may need to exit the sim and restart in order to see live weather again. To blankly state it doesn't work is incorrect.
August 22, 20205 yr Live weather works very good here, very impressive. EKAH. But I think this may vary depending on where you fly, and how much data is available. i9 RTX 4090 64gb ram
August 22, 20205 yr Anyone know the Source for the Live Weather please?

Live weather does not work in the US. That’s the only place I have flown but research shows it is working in Europe. EVERY flight in the US I have flown is clear skies, winds out of the southwest at 3 knots and a temp of 15C EddieKABQ

I flew in CA all day yesterday and it never changed. Was nowhere near what the METAR reported. Always clear, 15, winds 240 at 3. Hope they get it fixed soon. It's a pain to have to enter it all manually then change along the route before your destination. EddieKABQ

EVERY flight in the US I have flown is clear skies, winds out of the southwest at 3 knots and a temp of 15C I just had a quick look at the weather situation in the US and loaded up at an airfield east of San Antonio with live weather. It's certainly not clear! Maybe it's just certain parts of the US that aren't getting coverage? Either way, it needs sorting out. In the meantime come and join us over the pond, plenty of weather for you here! 😁
August 22, 20205 yr live weather working fine in Brazil I think the OP might have weather settings as preset instead of live Have you clicked the "Live" button in weather?
