What are you using other than the MSFS weather as far as weather information resources?   I am finding wide inconstancies in in MSFS weather, EFB2, Navigraph Charts and this website (https://runway.airportdb.io/) when planning my approaches to airports.

Thanks ahead of time.

Fltplan.com and its fltplan.go app for IOS and Android.  The live weather in MSFS has improved as well as the injected weather from the REX Weatherforce addon.  With both you should mostly ignore the aural ATIX/AWOS reports from tuning in those frequencies in MSFS.  That part of MSFS is quite flawed, especially in the reports as you are descending toward your destination.  So I check actual Metar reports from departure and arrival airports and assume the two weather engines are providing me weather consistent with those reports.  The Fltplan.go moving map on my iPad has an option to show winds aloft wind barbs, which lately confirms the winds aloft injected from MSFS live and REX WF engines.

Simbrief injects weather into MSFS?

Very useful to pick a suitable runway:

Most of what is said on the Internet may be the same thing they shovel on the regular basis at the local barn.

No and the OP didn't ask for a weather injector. Did he?
