Live weather completely broken (upper atmosphere)

Featured Replies

Hi guys. Have any of you have noticed that the live weather displays completely incorrect air temperature at altitude? It can make it a real challenge to climb. The other day I had to switch to high blower in the DC-6 at 13,000' because the OAT was so high I could not maintain 40"MP with full throttle open.

This seems to me like a pretty mission critical bug to fix. Any word from Asobo? Have you guys experienced this?

Yeah there's a lot of threads about it.

Yes. It started about 1 week ago, so not related directly to SU5. There are several threads about the issue on the main MSFS forums, so I assume Asobo is well aware of it, but there has been no feedback or acknowledgement yet…

They're aware yes.

They have acknowledged live weather and winds (I would imagine temps would be included) - Satus is several updates   SU6, SU7

Upper winds and temperatures have generally been working quite well for months. This sudden and extreme temperature fluctuation (especially at higher altitudes) is a new bug that started happening last week, (before SU 5), and is something that needs to be fixed without delay. This is something completely different to whatever long-range plans Asobo has for overall enhancements and improvements to Live Weather.

Yep this one is a serious bug and is a showstopper...

It started right around the time of the Akamai outage, so it's possible it broke the live weather. Yes, it's a very serious bug in that it's taking a lot of effort to resolve it.

In the meantime, the good 'ol pistons seem to be doing all right.

We are aware of the bug with absurd temps at altitude and it has been fixed; a patch will be coming soon, along with fixes for the AI Traffic CTD and altimeter error. I don't have an exact timeline yet.

Hey Matt, do you have any idea if this fix includes the bug that causes all departing live traffic to spawn with the front gear up and not to actually depart at all?

This bug, to be specific.
