It has nothing to do with 'XBOX kids', and the sim is not dumbed down for XBOX.

Watch and weep.

Lots of weird yaw. No major updrafts or downdrafts. Totally unrealistic. Just how the xbox kids wanted it.

Now do it in a C172 or C152.

It has nothing to do with what the 'Xbox Kids' want, not all the planes have been set up properly yet for some of the new physics options they added.

If they cared about what the casuals wanted, they wouldn't have hired WorkingTitle to make the most accurate G1000 in the simulator market.

Or bought the rights to Inibuild's high level A310 coming in November.

I just did - in the Cessna 172. Aircraft twerked from side to side like Shakira. No effect on altitude. No updrafts. No downdrafts. Looks pretty - otherwise it's a joke sorry.

Weird, i tried taking off in a 152 and I couldn't even get off the runway without the wind flipping me over.

Well, I wish I could bring good news from the REX side of things. But I come back to you now. And from what I can tell, even with the "enable frame rate improvements in place"... it was a stuttery mess when loading transitions. Luckily I don't have any huge issues with default weather though.  

Not sure that "twerking from side to side like Shakira" could ever be bad though. But I digress.

Here is a thought. Maybe Microsoft didn't spend resources on  accurately simulating - "What if I flew a ridiculously under qualified aircraft into 155mph winds"  

And I also doubt they spent money on accurately simulating a gosh darn hurricane. Even the experts don't know what these things do beneath the layers of mother natures fury.

Latest ATIS that I can see from the ADDS is LPPR 281730Z 31004KT 270V350 9999 SCT038 17/15 Q1017

Yup, and that's what the sim is generating.

This is actually a great example of why pure reliance on Meteoblue is the wrong approach, and Metar inclusion is good:

The actual photograph shows scattered to broken lower level clouds (as reported in the Metar), and then a high level overcast.

Metar does not report high level clouds.  The sim weather engine is dependent on the Meteoblue model for phenomena not reported by Metars, and all phenomena away from airports.  The lack of a high level overcast in the sim shows that Meteoblue is completely inaccurate here... if it weren't for Metar-driven inclusion of the lower layer, you'd be flying in completely clear skies. 

Luckily, high-level clouds are less operationally significant, so the inherent Meteoblue inaccuracy doesn't matter as much now that we have Metar inclusion for the important stuff. 

Why the OP had no weather at all initially... yeah, just the standard wx server bugginess.  Annoying, but I know of no cloud-based service that doesn't hiccup occasionally.

You have to compare with metar, not with real pictures. 

Lol. There's literally a picture from some km away from the airport, and I have to compare with metar? Are you serious?

Did you think the sim had access to that photo to generate weather from?

If it says live weather, it should represent weather "live". Live weather shows almost an overcast sky, where cleary inside MSFS it's not the case

There was overcast, the thread creator's weather just didn't load properly, I posted screenshots further down page 1 where it loaded fine for me.

Yes, read my post above. It isn't magic; you have to understand the data sources. The low level clouds as reported by the metar were in the sim per other's screenshots... the high level overcast would have had to come from meteoblue and didn't. That's why someone suggested you compare the weather with the metar; it was correct as far as it went (metars don't report high level clouds.)
