February 13, 20233 yr It’s been fully resolved. Topic was closed on the official forum. I would recommend doing the same here as this issue has been put to bed. Edited February 13, 20233 yr by B777ER Eric

The clouds in the RW were still over Ohio at the time. Front edge was near Columbus.

Only residents of New Zealand, who access the data from a NZ ISP can get free real-time METARS for any other airports within the country. Any users outside of the country who need NZ METAR data have to pay the government of New Zealand for it. This means that if we connect to NZ VPN the metars would be ok , or MSFS will disregard it anyway? __________________________________________________________________________________________ My FS Photos - My MSFS Settings - i7-14700K / 64GB RAM / MSI 4070 Ti SUPER / 1440p
September 22, 20232 yr I think there's a misunderstanding. What Jörg tried to say is, that there are less available sources for weather data in New Zealand (caused by some of New Zealands weather stations not providing their data to common weather distribution services). This has nothing to do with from which country a MSFS pilot is connected with his sim. It's just about MSFS not being able to get (reliable) weather through the usual sources here.

The METARS used in live weather don’t come directly from the country in which you reside (or connect to via VPN) - they come from MeteoBlue in Switzerland, which provides the live weather data for MSFS. I assume that MB, like any other weather data provider, gets METARS from the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) data feed. The WMO continuously gathers and compiles hourly METARS from around the world and provides them to all interested parties. Since only the three NZ airports are available from the WMO, that would be all that MB (and thus MSFS Live Weather) has access to.
