Is anyone else sick and tired of waiting until 7:12 PM EST to fly so live weather actually works??? Is live weather going to never work for 72 minutes every day from now to eternity??? Over the course of a century, that's 2,629,800 unplayable minutes.  Every day the game is unplayable for exactly 5% of the day.... but I paid 100% retail price, I didn't pay 95%. Where's my 5% rebate since I can only use the product 95% of the time??

?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

The live weather "WORKS"? I think it's better between 18:00 and 19:12 EST, I mean the prediction model works great when it's working, but the clouds are embarrassing.

It would be nice if they could explain why this is happening and not just acknowledge that it is happening. Its regularity suggests it's intentional so letting users know why they need to sit through this every day would be helpful.

To be honest these threads are embarrassing popping up everyday about a cheap game product. Want accurate weather fly in real live. No PC game is perfect and this 60$ game works no different the the 120$ premium one you are still on the same busy servers. When folks realize the weather is not perfect the better they will come to piece of mind.

You mention 'want accurate weather' & 'weather not perfect' - the point being made is NO WEATHER for 5% of the day.  What percentage limit would you accept for no weather - 10% of the time, 20% or maybe 50%?

I think it acceptable to ask how long is no weather going to be available for 5% of the day.

I'm ok with the live weather when it works. I'm not ok that there's literally no weather for 1 hour 12 minutes daily for no apparent reason.

On board with you on this comment as well as about the clouds.  

least  you  got  a  chance  with having  a  3rd  party  addon 

My day is now complete and I can  go onto bed. We have had our daily cloud word not allowed thread.

I don't want to pay for an addon just to have some semblance of weather from 18:00 to 19:12 daily, which is when I have time to play.

It's like if my car that I paid full price for stopped running every day for 72 minutes for no reason at all, and the auto company was all like "well buy this app from our affiliate, and then you can use 'your' car for 1,440 minutes per day instead of just 1,368 minutes".

Each to their own and I don't mean to offend anyone, but is it such a huge deal if the weather depicted in the sim doesn't match exactly what you see outside your window? 

There's so many other things to enjoy about sim flying and I'm sure live weather will be improved over time. 

Enjoy the moment my friends!

That's not the point of this thread....... this thread is stating that the weather is literally clear sky and 29.92 for 72 minutes per day. I don't care if the weather is exact, I just want weather continuously.

My latest weather issues were resolved by signing out of MS Store and Xbox App in windows and log in again.

No more issues with weather updates anymore,

I guess I can't fly today and Monday because we are having a storm both days.
