February 7, 20233 yr This morning I am getting updated METAR and is correct at all the airports I have tested and compared to real time METAR. However, the weather is not depicted in the SIM, still getting clear skies regardless of the actual METAR in SIM. I guess it's a step forward...... i7-107000KF | 32 GB DDR4 SDRAM | MSI Z491-A-PRO | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 | 2x Samsung SSD 860 EVO 1TB | MSI M370 1TB | Windows 11 Pro | Honeycomb Alpha Yoke and Bravo Throttle | Saitek Pro Flight Rudder Pedals | 32” LG GSM7750 HDR 4K monitor | 2x 27” ASUS MX279 monitors
February 7, 20233 yr Managed to do a flight last night where the injected weather was correct but the METAR was out of date junk. Today, METAR is correct but no injected weather. No flying today. 5800X3D - Strix X570-E - 32GB 3600Mhz DDR4 - AMD RX 9070 XT- Samsung 980 Pro x2
February 7, 20233 yr Sat at LEBL for about 10 or 15 mins and suddenly weather was injected. I am now sitting at CYVR to see if and how long it takes for it to change. i7-107000KF | 32 GB DDR4 SDRAM | MSI Z491-A-PRO | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 | 2x Samsung SSD 860 EVO 1TB | MSI M370 1TB | Windows 11 Pro | Honeycomb Alpha Yoke and Bravo Throttle | Saitek Pro Flight Rudder Pedals | 32” LG GSM7750 HDR 4K monitor | 2x 27” ASUS MX279 monitors
February 8, 20233 yr I think it's bee fixed as of now. Checked EKCH and EFHK - cloud depiction is in accordance with METAR. Keep my fingers crossed though. 9950X3D, X870E ROG CROSSHAIR HERO, Corsair Dominator Titanium 64GB DDR5-6000 PC5-48000, ASUS RTX 5070Ti 16GB, 9100 PRO 4TB Samsung ,990 PRO 4TB Samsung, AX1600i 1600 Watt 80 Plus Titanium ATX, ASUS 360 ARGB EXTREME 360mm Liquid CPU Cooling Kit.

Also checked CYVR and KDFW - both look good in terms of clouds' generation. 9950X3D, X870E ROG CROSSHAIR HERO, Corsair Dominator Titanium 64GB DDR5-6000 PC5-48000, ASUS RTX 5070Ti 16GB, 9100 PRO 4TB Samsung ,990 PRO 4TB Samsung, AX1600i 1600 Watt 80 Plus Titanium ATX, ASUS 360 ARGB EXTREME 360mm Liquid CPU Cooling Kit.

February 8, 20233 yr worked great today with pretty accurate turbulence and gusts on final SAR Pilot. Flight Sim'ing since the beginning.
February 8, 20233 yr Wind and temps worked on my flight from KLAS, but no clouds to be seen on arrival into YYJ. Chatting with another dude who was in sim at YYJ he could see clouds. How odd. Clouds were evident along the way.
February 8, 20233 yr Recently I've noticed that when cloud is reported as "FEW" no cloud will show. If cloud is reported as broken scattered or overcast then things look better. Metars continue to lag reality.
February 8, 20233 yr I'm about to push for my morning coffee flight from KCLT to KTPA. I have live weather and it matches the current conditions at KCLT. The only discrepancy is that MSFS says winds are 180/4 and the METAR reads 170/4. I can live with that. Might be a mag var issue?

The winds you get from the tower at the airport or from an airport ATIS broadcast (the “actual” wind), will be referenced to magnetic north. The variation at Charlotte is close to 8 degrees west, so the “actual” wind injected into MSFS appears to be correct.

February 8, 20233 yr Still some issues in southern Europe. No clouds at LEBL, LSGG despite METAR. 9950X3D, X870E ROG CROSSHAIR HERO, Corsair Dominator Titanium 64GB DDR5-6000 PC5-48000, ASUS RTX 5070Ti 16GB, 9100 PRO 4TB Samsung ,990 PRO 4TB Samsung, AX1600i 1600 Watt 80 Plus Titanium ATX, ASUS 360 ARGB EXTREME 360mm Liquid CPU Cooling Kit.
February 8, 20233 yr Yeah still problems here. Based in UK, did LEMG-EGCC earlier and had yesterdays metar at Malaga then lost all metar all together en route
February 8, 20233 yr Well, the Online Services Monitoring page now (2023-02-08) indicates that the status of Live Weather has returned to: “Investigating” --Mike MacKuen
