live weather is a joke still....

[Epgd 134]

live weather is still not working like it should be... I`m since alphas... and made a lots of hours in FS...

winds are broken in the sim, even if we could see some parameters on main screen it does not affect in the sim......on my local EPGD - windstock is always dead..

weather parameters are far from metars very often... some time cloud formations are changing rapidly from cavoc to clear sky when restarting at the same point....in few minutes

Weather should be priotity to fix - Asobo !

Amazing to think a major snowstorm in Denver and its not snowing at either KDEN or KAPA (The visibility is there) - I was seeing a bit of rain/snow mix earlier - but not thats gone - I love MSFS but have to admit this is ridiculous...

It's been an issue since day 1 of the Alpha. I would have thought it would have been a bigger priority. Maybe they're just going to let HiFi fix it.

Just landed at KAPA. No snow but Vis was almost 0.

Interested if you tuned in ATIS or AWOS and what it was advising.  I have had it advise accurate weather but that weather was not present in the flying environment.

I know they said they will have a weather fix coming up in the next update. I haven’t seen any serious real weather issues, mine have loaded up fairly accurately except for the winds above the surface. Also the live weather isn’t live, I think meteoblue is 45 mins behind in their weather, even their online site seems to be off by a bit.

Weather is Asia and Europe is pretty accurate, not the exact metar, but still. Not so in North America...

I am sure they will fix it in time..... Also, I find you need to restart the sim to have 'live weather'.

OMG please no.  No more add-ons for things that should work in stock.

[Adrian123 1,015]

Two things I would gladly pay for with this. HiFi weather and RXP GTN's!

You willing to pony up the additional 50 dollars for HIFI level accuracy and depiction in MSFS?

Or more!! 69 bucks for the base sim is cheap IMO. Let the pro's, like HiFi do the weather. It's what they do. Sim developers doing weather injection is like the old VCR TV combo. Neither worker well.

HiFi said they currently have no way into the sim.

[Mace 1,921]

Well I think the default sim should have at least a basic functioning live weather option.

It doesn't have to be super-duper-great but as long as it works, I'd be good with it.

So then yes -- I'd buy an add-on if it made better depictions, etc. --  like ActiveSky.

Lets not forget that HiFi can be pretty infuriating too. For example SIGMET coverage outside of US is a joke.

I had accurate 40 knot winds (according to Windy at least) at FL380 above Australia a few minutes ago, but then it just died and went to 03.
