Storms and historical weather events add on being developed

It's going to be interesting to see how they model things like hurricanes. Looking forward to the trailer.

Got very excited about the idea of historical weather, but not sure I see it mentioned on the website?

Yeah it looks to me like historical hurricanes? Not a fan of historical weather anyway I like it live.

Sorry,  I meant to say historical hurricanes will be modeled. I do wonder how the weather engine would handle something as complex as a hurricane. I feel like this add on will have a lot of nice eye candy, but not something terriby realistic from a physics point of view.

Will it have the Michael Fish hurricane not hurricane of 1987 (UK) in it? If so then a landing challenge at EGKA is a must!

I got this message, too. At first sight I was highly excited when I read historical weather, upon closer inspection I saw it's - seemingly - limited to Hurricanes. Me not being a storm chaser, I lowered expectations for myself. 

Certainly a nice addon for those flying in dirty weather where I prefer staying in my warm home.😉

Kind regards, Michael

Same here, I look to: https://www.badbadweather.com/

 

Great Live weather site.

I feel like the historical weather issue in MSFS is sort of a moot point. I understand that people like to use accurate weather data while also flying during a certain time of day. However, with MSFS, you can fly anywhere in the world with live weather data and just use the time-of-day slider to fly during your preferred time. If I'm missing something about this feature, I'm sorry and please let me know.

Yes you are missing something...time of day and weather phenomena combo allows one to simulate different events that have occurred to experience what those involved IRL experienced - just one example of many.

I do not get the nice weather of the morning, when I arrive home from work in the evening. 

I can't replicate interesting weather we had probably the day before

Simply: weather in the evening is seldom the same which was during the day. But I can mostly only fly in the evening

Do remember that very early in the piece Asobo announced they were pretty much turning off turbulence and extreme weather in storms claiming it was because most simmers would not appreciate weather that ripped the tail and wings off their aircraft.

My personal unfounded conspiracy theory is they found the physics too hard and were using player opposition to extreme turbulence as an excuse 😄
