Where are these ugly, grid patterned clouds?

Well, if they are there, you're not going to see them from that range and angle.

Some of the odd grid patterns i've seen with REX so far

This is nothing similar not even close to the FSX grid pattern issue. There is no grid behaviour such with MSFS nor REX Weather Force as it used to be in FSX

I've not seen anything like that using MSFS's live weather. That is from REX. Those clouds are repeating patterns.

I suggest you guys try this : https://unrealweather.blogspot.com/ 

Its technically what REX does only free.

Maybe for the Steam version. The files you need to replace are heavily protected in the WindowsApp folder in the Windows Store version

I've disabled both antivirus and firewall and I'm still asked to register the product each time I start it. What is going on?

Have followed this thread closely from the beginning. Here's my take (with screenshots to illustrate) ...

I for one am sticking with the default MSFS LIVE weather for now for reasons illustrated in the images below. Asobo's partnership with MeteoBlue has consistently delivered reasonably accurate weather conditions for me time and again that spawn across AN ENTIRE REGION for some distance surrounding the aircraft.

As I fly primarily in the American West, I cannot attest to this accuracy in other regions of the world, but considering the information shared MeteoBlue in the Partnership Video, I wouldn't doubt I'd get fairly good results elsewhere.

In the screenshots below (taken this morning) are the current GOES-West visible satellite image surrounding Lewiston Idaho (KLWS), vs the MSFS default MeteoBlue weather spawn. The clear area around KLWS is noticeably the same size and proportion with surrounding clouds and totally clear weather to the west as in the Goes-West image. The clearing of clouds as one moves south towards Boise is also evident in the lower portions of each. And for the record, yes, there's a noticable grid pattern, but to be sure, it really only becomes noticeable when MUCH higher than an airliner cruising altitude.

From the cockpit at KLWS these differing clouds to the north and south and the totally clear area to the west would be vital to setting off in any direction for a VFR flight. As the conditions at KLWS are relatively clear, had I planned on flying to say, Missoula, Montana, and REX been used, it is my understanding I'd have seen clear skies in all directions from the airport with absolutely no idea what awaited me until flying smack dab into it when it suddenly changed THE ENTIRE REGION to clouds.

So OK, the Asobo/MeteoBlue forecast generation may not spawn PRECISE weather at given starting point as REX does from the single local Metar. But I'd MUCH rather have slightly less accuracy directly around a departure, so long as I am be able to assess my options in ALL DIRECTIONS (for hundreds of miles no less!) once aloft. I do not want to fly with absolutely no idea what awaits ahead in any given direction until it thwacks you in the face with an unexpected transition from perhaps all clear to all cloudy when you least expect it.

So IMHO, what Asobo/MeteoBlue have done here is really quite revolutionary... and when it works even reasonably well, it works stunningly. Thus, for me at least, REX's singular Metar-to-Metar GLOBAL spawning would be a big step backward.

Do you own REX Weather Force?

People keep on about REX Weather Force's USP . it's this:

Does REX WF inject weather when loading a saved flight situation? I'm asking because the default weather injection to saved flights is currently broken.

They are there...turn on the NEXRAD zoom all the way out and you'll see....

Here's another video:

@11:40 - "While we wait for the weather to pop in here"

Is exactly why I will never buy this and glad I never fell for the marketing hype surrounding it. Who wants pop in weather in a 2020 sim?

But you don't mind waiting 10 minutes for the sim to load.

Got it!

Just purchased Weather Force 2020. Very disappointed and would refund if I could. The barometric pressure interpretations are all over the place. Every few minutes it's switching from roughly 29. 94 to 30.45 and back again. Autopilot is bouncing all over the place trying to keep up. 1/2 the time when doing a search to bring up a METAR nothing happens. I've added a few airports to favorites, and at first it showed some weather data, then all the data vanished except for a temp. 1/2 the time the current weather at location section is a blank. I've followed the developers installation instructions and did all the messing around with firewalls and permissions. Went back to default MSFS weather and much happier.
