Broken weather?

[Rocky 128]

During all my latest flights, maybe since the last update (not sure), the weather is always perfectly clear. I always fly with live weather and even if the ATIS tells me about visibility 3 and clouds at various altitudes, I never see a single cloud and visibility is always perfect, CAVOK, more than 10 NM. I have been flying at different places and times, at day, at night, in France, in Madeira, in California, and weather is always clear despite what the ATIS indicates. In addition, altimeter is ALWAYS 29.92...

Did you notice the same or did I do something wrong?
I thought it was a known bug that had been fixed...

Thanks for your help.

I have posted a fix for this here

I generally check the weather against what is depicted on Windy.com, and it's been pretty spot on for me in both Europe and West Africa, in fact it was quite amazing how close it was to the real thing just now flying out of Madagascar, bound for Mozambique, with a localised thunderstorm at the departure point giving way to fairly clear skies.

I've noticed the clear weather bug as well on about 1 every 5 or 6 times I start the sim.  Not sure what causes it and I can't replicate it but the only solution I've found is to restart the sim.

I tried this, but it seems it doesn't work... I set clear skies and when I switch to live weather, nothing changes. If I manually set bad weather, it all reverts to clear skies when I select live weather. I tried at several places, no success...

I've had this for a few days. Nothing will change it. The skies are always clear. The light levels do react to weather changes and water and wind reacts, but I haven't seen a cloud since it began. 

This is in non live weather and live weather. I'm starting to miss poxy weather.

I hope Asobo address this via expanding the SDK and provide a means for "us/someone" to develop a proper weather engine for it ... but I keep saying that a lot lately,

You can probably stop saying it because Asobo has made it clear that they consider the weather to be an integral part of the base sim, and are not going to open it up.. So I hope they can at least fix it.

Maybe this is the explanation: http://www.simscape.fr/images/ServerOffline.png

This appears when I click "Live airport activity".
This is probably the reason of my problem but I don't understand why this happens. My Internet is obviously up and running...

And I am not the only one having this problem:

Live weather is working on my end.

I have just logged out from my Microsoft account, logged in again and re-ran MSFS. I don't have the "server offline" error any more.

[Rocky 128]

And now it works !!!

It was just a problem of Microsoft account, it now works 🙂

Thank you all for your help.

In msfs 2020, I think meteoblue only simulates model based weather. But local weather events is not simulated, so cannot see misty and foggy weathers a lot.

Merci,

I have been trying for weeks to solve this issue of clear skies, I have tried several "workarounds" and then I found this topic. And you have just won the prize, and it was so easy.

I now have a thunderstorm raging over YPDN Darwin Intl Airport......

 

A happy pilot once more  🛩️

Where did you log out from? Ingame? Xbox app?
