Weather Poll

I am trying to find what the condenses is on everyone's most used weather preference for MSFS. 

I have used the MSFS weather, Rex Weather Force and XEnviro.   What if those were your only choice would you most likely use?

Lately I've been going back and forth between weatherforce and MSFS weather.   

Thanks in advance.   I know the weather system in MSFS is very random at times.  Just looking for consistancy.

Thanks in advance.

Default live weather. It is fairly good by now. Not always exactly the same as METARs, but that's realistic to some degree. WeatherForce is really bad for remote airports with automatic (no observation) METAR stations, I haven't used it in more than a year. Never tried the third one. 

Default live weather. Using MeteoBlue for flight planning. MeteoBlue is a more of a weather simulation than weather station. But it usually agrees with MSFS as sim weather is based on MeteoBlue.

Working on MSFS 2024 versions.

Default. None of the third party solutions have proper full access to manipulating the weather, so it's all just a crowbarred in solutions with limitations. No need to waste money on that.

Default. It has been quite accurate for me for many, many months now. Not perfect, but no weather solution ever has been, and likely never will.

MSFS 2024. Primary Planes: Black Square TBM850, Duke, Baron, Caravan; A2A Comanche; FSReborn Phenom; Fexix A321; PMDG 737-7, 777: Utilities: Active Sky (Passive Mode); BATC, FSLTL.

Live weather.

For transparency: I'm a community mentor at the BATC discord. However, I do not get paid for it in any way.

If you wanted to start a poll, why didn't you use the poll function of the forum? Much easier, than having post their answer individually.

Default.  Someday it will be perfect.

Is there anyone using XEnviro at all? I'm not close-fisted but given the prize I am not inclined to just buy it for testing.

I use presets or real weather from the sim.

Kind regards, Michael

If you (or other apps) could query what the sims weather is in any specific location then I'd probably live with default...
