March 17, 20215 yr Hi! Since Aerosoft finally has made msfs fun to fly again I have started once again reacting over how incredibly bad the live weather is, not even close to the real metar. Have anybody got any suggestions how you use this to make it as realistic as possible? Niklas Eriksson
March 17, 20215 yr Unreal Weather - Live METAR Support for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020: Unreal Weather - Live METAR 1.7 Released!
March 17, 20215 yr You can go back to Xplane and taste their beautiful real weather. Missing the PMDG DC6 in MSFS 2024 (she's here, but...).
March 17, 20215 yr They have given out the rods to be beaten with, calling ‘live weather’ what is, if I understand it well, actually predicted weather. That being said the weather engine is rather good even if it needs some tweakings (thunder ⛈️ !).

I am flying in the New York area now, and what I see looks pretty much like the Metar that is current for that area.

None of the elements in MSFS come close. And please do not even mention ATIS/AWOS. Check my message footer....

March 17, 20215 yr Free Unreal weather or payware REX weather force but don't expect the weather transition to be smooth like default though. Edited March 17, 20215 yr by jbdbow1970

It's been every bit as comparable as ActiveSky has been for me. I'd mainly like the cloud rendering to offer some more high definition edges where appropriate and better, more interesting upper atmosphere cirrus type clouds. But overall, seriously, it is so much better than what I have in ASN4.

March 18, 20215 yr 8 hours ago, Nigge said: how incredibly bad the live weather is I live fairly close to my home airport. My, admittedly unsophisticated, approach is to look out the window, load up the default live weather and see how they match. MSFS is usually quite close. 6 hours ago, fppilot said: Or FSX/FSX SE/P3D with Active Sky and REX textures. None of the elements in MSFS come close. And please do not even mention ATIS/AWOS. Check my message footer.... I checked your message footer, what am I supposed to be seeing? I bought REX Weather Force when it came out, but lately REX is at best hit and miss. It seems they have server issues. Not sure whether those have been resolved, haven't checked their discord lately, as I got tired of having to switch off REX and revert back to MSFS live weather. As I said, live weather works for me. Edited March 18, 20215 yr by Ricardo41

March 18, 20215 yr Well I agree that "look-wise" the weather engine is doing a great job. My main problem is that most of the time (around Europe where I usually fly) the QNH is way off most of the time. Yesterday did a flight from ESSA... the real live metar said QNH 1022... MSFS said 1013.

The word « live weather » is misleading. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meteoblue Dominique Simming since 1981 - [email protected] GHz with 16 GB of RAM and a 1080 with 8 GB VRAM running a 27" @ 2560*1440 - Windows 10 - Warthog HOTAS - MFG pedals - MSFS Standard version with Steam
