October 4, 20205 yr Today I took a test flight with the TBM out of Tehran with live weather. There were few clouds but instant thunder and lightning was observed. Then I took off and there were just few cumulus cloud layers scattered around and still got the thunder and flashes. Only when the cloud area faded was there no thunder. It was very weird to have the lightning flashes and thunder sounds with just a few clouds on takeoff. I used the live weather so I did not tone it down. Did the new patch also exaggerate the thunder and lightning effects ?

October 4, 20205 yr I'm not too far away from you - been flying down through Israel, Egypt and Libya for the last few days. Mostly CAVOK and with thunder and lightning all the way! There's a few discussions high-lightning (see what I did there 😁) the issue over at the MSFS forums. Hopefully it will be fixed.
October 4, 20205 yr Yes, lightning and thunder everywhere with live weather. It is useless now. Only option to avoid that is flying with weather presets.
October 4, 20205 yr Author Now I'm flying towards Cyprus on the Israeli coast with a few cumulus clouds here and there and of course there is THUNDER and LIGHTNING ! I want to revert back to the previous patch....
October 4, 20205 yr If I could share screenshots, I'd show you a near cloudless sky with fork lightning travelling horizontally across the entire sky in front of me!

October 4, 20205 yr Commercial Member This happens everywhere, not just specific area. I notice that a lot. I fly in Iran a lot but I see it in other areas too.

October 4, 20205 yr I suspect anywhere where meteoblue shows a chance of thunderstorms will shown thunderstorms in the sim. So if you fly outside of the tropics or warm weather regions you are less likely to encounter this. Edited October 4, 20205 yr by sanh
