Weather / METAR trouble yesterday

Featured Replies

Hi folks,

I had a bit of a weird discrepancy between the real life weather, ingame weather, ingame METAR, simbrief METAR and METAR according to a website.

So basically the sim depicted real weather right but simbriefs (on the OFP and fetched via their website) and the ingame METAR showed some old METARs that didn't match the actual weather by far (showed winds VRB at 3 kts while in reality it was gusting up to 35 knots). So the 3rd party website was the only instance showing the right weather.

Anyone else who experienced this?

Wasnt able to check today yet.

 

Best regards

Simbrief and the game metars are from NOAA, I think, and NOAA has had some internal changes which screwed over with a lot of applications using NOAA for metars. No idea why the sim didn't use the metar, though, it usually always does.

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