Everyone will receive a unique Microsoft Flight Simulator-themed livery for the entire launch plane fleet and simmers will be able to fly with the same cute dog-themed liveries that Rufus and Sam flew in their Pitts Special.

Finally, given the time of year, the update will add real-time snow and true-to-life ice coverage to the entire planet.

 

So, good news 🙂

despite all the negativity you got to take your hats off to MS/Asobo.  I don't care what anyone says this is the flight sim of the future!

Well that would be super awesome...just as I’m looking out my window at our first major snowfall of the year 🙂

So just to be sure, the live weather of MSFS is a predicted weather model, but this time, snow will be all real-time? Strange.

My understanding is that it’s talking about the snow on the ground at any moment in time. The live weather, as in the actual snowfall, would still be predictive I’m assuming?

The video with the dogs is very funny.

The service they use for their live weather, Meteoblue, tracks snow depth and Sea ice, so I imagine that's where the data will come from..

I hope the snow feature works in the new 22nd December update, because I'm currently flying from Toronto to JFK and I can't see any snow yet, it's not very immersive knowing that in real life snow is on the ground.
