Live weather....did it actually improve?

Featured Replies

There seems to be a bug where almost any cloud can be a thunderstorm.  You can have thunder and lightning on a partly cloudy day which is obviously not accurate.  Hopefully this can be fixed.  I know early on thunderstorms were way too hard to find (you could fly all over the Caribbean/Florida and not see one in the afternoon), so I'm guessing they just adjusted too far the other way.  Hopefully a simple tweak.  

Other than that though, the weather has been pretty accurate for me, however this time of year in my region the real weather is pretty boring, so I might not notice if it were delayed by hours.

Agreed, thunder clouds everywhere.

How can you say weather seemed ok but not reference to local metar??

I was primarily referring to "every time there are some clouds there are also thunderstorms" which was not the case for my 2 flights

Yep it's unfortunately a WIP - Weather is Problematic. 

So 100% METAR match is not 100% accurate?

Its accurate all the time, flying in vatsim with zero problems now, no lightning too)) some minor problems with transitions between stations but i can live with that. Nothing can be more annoying than weather differences between you and controller when you on the net., great mod.

I said earlier I’ve tried the unreal weather mod, it does match the metar perfectly however winds aloft is a bit dicky apparently this is experimental in the latest build.  However I’ve found the weather pops and redraws which be honest I detest and takes me back about 10 years so it’s a no from me for now...
