I stared into the thick in front of me in VR until I started to feel spatial disorientation creeping in. I agree that the clouds could use more work and that they were probably better before, but I can't agree with what you said in the quote. Yes, I have had this happen to me in the last week about a half dozen times. No ground contact at cruise altitude, until I was below 500 feet on approach. And BTW, I fly all over the globe, last few days, US, Canada, and Europe.

You both confirm using LIVE weather? Also are you getting hard transitions from seeing good to nothing? Or is it a very slow/gradual loss of visibility? Becuase any time I've seen overcast in Live weather since AFTER the x-box update, it's been this annoying slow transition of good vis. to lower vis. But can always look straight down and see lights or land until "above" the layer of puff/fog. I'll keep searching for true overcast. I know last night I saw for the first time two layers of clouds in a very long time, but sadly still very transparent. Any chance they could be changing things server side? BTW -I'm on ULTRA setting for clouds. What are you using? Edited March 20, 20224 yr by KERNEL32
March 20, 20224 yr I find this unusual then if you're having so many problems. Why are some people getting these issues so often when some of us are just fine? I am flying all over in Japan, PNW, East Coast etc.... What airport(s) are you having trouble at? Maybe we could help verify the issues. 7800+4090+64ram Just Flight RJ, 146 and F28, Piper Arrows ---A2A Aerostar and Comanche---Black Square Starship, Duke(s), TBM, Bonanza/BaronV2, KingAir---FSReborn FSR500---COWS Da42---FX P180, HJet & VJet---FlySimWare Chancellor and LearJet---FlightSimStudio EMB175 &P2006T---Fenix 320---PMDG DC6, 737(700+900), 777---C22J---Milviz Cessna 310 & Porter---SimWorksStudios Kodiak, PC12, Zenith & RV14---BigRadials Goose---IndiaFoxEcho MB3339+F35.

The problems I report in the OP are related not to the accuracy of weather depiction but rather to the total innability of the sim session to get the Live Weather, being it METAR or Model data ( because it is default ISA up to Tropopause... ). I did experince this nuisance only once since I started using MFS, but since 3 days it has been happening to me from morning to mid-late afternoon, and, Nope, it's not a local or provider network glitch. I am flying from airfields in Portugal. Today it has been rainy, and nasty to fly, so I really wanted to test my new Kodiak with it, and only an hour ago was able to get Live Weather, Before that the message was "NO METAR AVAILABLE". When the METARs wer back, as well as model data, then the depiction was great ! Pretty much matching RL. I can't complain abu that.

Yeah right multi-billion-dollar companies acting like a moody ex-wife. You really think that's how business goes? For transparency: I'm a community mentor at the BATC discord.

The transition into and out of the clouds was just as I'd expect, a few cloud parts protruding beyond the actual layer taking and giving back visibility a few times until I was quickly engulfed in zero visibility all the way until shooting out of the clouds.

Naive thinking if you really convinced that the main reason to discontinue those projects were the complaints of the community... If sale numbers are fine (and I guess they are for MSFS), they will never discontinue MSFS due to some complaints. You obviously did not get my example above, so never mind...

My guess is that people are running msfs on multiple different hybrid systems/platforms and the flight simulator itself is not exactly pac-man. Not a criticism in any way, amazing how this game operates. Just that i do wonder sometimes iff, an how, troubleshooting could be more streamlined.

When it comes to Live Weather (which is what this thread is about) depiction it has nothing to do with users systems, it's on Asobos end and that is clear (pun not intended) since they charged it in SU7. Graphical quality is of course in the users settings, but also a regression of the graphical quality of clouds introduced in SU5 is again at the feet of Asobo.

I mean it was clear as day that Asobo were brought in for their gaming/Xbox background, not their expertise in Weather & Flight...! (I highly doubt they will drop and run away, after all they've invested into Xbox support alone!) Lol, here we go again. Just to check on the OP's claim that there is "no live weather again", I loaded into the airport I'm currently "stationed" at. 1) Checked the weather metar on meteoblue. 2) Loaded in Live Weather - depiction was in the ballpark. 3) Loaded up RWF - depiction was spot on. IOW, the statement "no live weather again" is misleading clickbait. It is true that sometimes Live Weather doesn't work sometimes, doesn't work on first load, or isn't an entirely accurate translation of the metar. These are all known issues that have been beaten to death on this forum. RWF or Live Weather - usually one or the other does the job. Edited March 21, 20224 yr by Ricardo41
March 21, 20224 yr to the OP, did you try using the CLEAR SKIES setting when setting up the flight (World map menus) and then once the flight loads THEN change to love weather? I know that worked for some "back in the day" when there was a bug related to this. Maybe it's back (I would not be surprised). Also you are getting satellite ground textures and live traffic right? (You are on line in the sim?)
