I switched Chewwy off, he was more concerned with subscribers than concentrating on the product. (Only watched as I'm stuck at work!)

He's doing a circuit in clear weather, not much to concentrate on.

Yeah, somebody donates £100+ worth of subs, we will just ignore it, fantastic mate, sure you'd get on well in our jobs lol!

Not true at all.

 

From Chewwy's stream, ActiveSky was showing clear skies, when live cams shows clouds. Asobo live weather properly has clouds.

QNH, and temperatures were all correct with active sky though, so it was working.

...and case in point you use new releases to get subscribers after you bad mouth products through your own incompetence.

will it be possible for PMDG or Fenix to use this for weather radar, or will AS bring there one radar as was in the past ( pop up). I am not yet convinced.

Pretty sure this was already answered, it was a no.

There's no way for third parties make new weather radars in MSFS.

But that was not correct. Current METAR is showing clear skies.

Not necessarily. Could also be from MSFS live weather (both depend on METARs and will therefore always be exactly the same between default MSFS and AS injected weather).

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

I can confirm the same thing observing sitting at my home airport in Zagreb, ZAG (LDZA), outside there are clear skies above, clouds on the horizon though, and while Live Sim weather really depicts the current situation, ActiveSky shows no clouds whatsoever.

so than I would really like to know what is the benefit of this program? I will have to look into more reviews ( serious ones ) and the manual.

I am a Twitch streamer. I was already live at this point. We don't get 'extra money' for the amount of viewers we have.

I am VERY familiar with Twitch. That's a pretty misleading statement don't you think? You're obviously an affiliate bare minimum likely a partner (if not aspiring to be). You absolutely DO get extra money from a higher viewer count just not directly. 

Direct subs /gifted subs (hype trains!) 

Chat engagement /current viewers /average viewer count. All these count towards valuable Twitch 'status' which gives better percentages for the streamer over time. 

I do know it's hard work earning a living on there especially without playing 'the game' but.. To be already streaming and then decide to randomly buy and review a product online the results of which could affect someone ELSE'S way of earning a living? It's your choice what you do but it's also my choice to react negatively if I don't like this way of doing business.

Live webcam footage is showing clouds over Heathrow. 

METAR doesn't mention clouds above 5000 feet.
