November 22, 20241 yr I know 2020 had custom weather presets but could you save as well as load them? If so this would fix this issue at least short term. You could load the sim at current time then SAVE CURRENT WEATHER as a snapshot and LOCK it. Then change the time and keep using your 'live' weather which would no longer be live but would be a fair compromise at this point. Russell Gough SE London
November 22, 20241 yr Another thing that should have been an option. I want to change things independently, it's SO EASY to have it as an option. Just a simple checkbox "link weather to time of day" or something similar... If i want it linked, i check the box, if i don't want it linked, i uncheck the box. There, no need to be a rocket scientist. Are these even real programmers? They set things in stone from polls in forums instead of improving their software based on global user input. Now, because in some poll in some forum, not even seen by everyone who has a say in the matter, EVERYONE has to deal with whichever option got the most votes, instead of thinking out of the box and actually implemeting something that would please everyone. I am actually embarassed by software development nowadays, they just don't care. Man, i am WAY underpaid.

November 22, 20241 yr They'll probably break it again and remove the historic weather function completely trying to "fix" this...

January 9, 20251 yr Commercial Member The link in the official MSFS forums above is broken. Here is the link to the topic for anyone that wants to vote to implement the decoupling of time and live weather in the sim. Flying exclusively online this makes MSFS2024 not usable mostly for me.

If yes, how do you handle that most probably simbrief will give you wrong active runways and wrong winds aloft? As far as I am informed, simbrief does always use actual live weather? I use BATC so I rely on it to give me correct runways
February 9, 20251 yr apparently the devs finally understood what people wanted (it wasn't this) so they are fixing it in next update.
February 9, 20251 yr it works just fine in the beta. Live tab for historic weather, custom tab to keep current weather while changing time. 5800X3D. 32 GB RAM. 1TB SATA SSD. 3TB HDD. RX 9070XT.
February 9, 20251 yr Commercial Member The weather does not match the daytime though then, which was the BIG reason why everbody wanted 24h historical weather.

February 15, 20251 yr When this topic first came out I believed every word of it. Changing sim time also does change live weather. At least within the 24 hour previous time span. Only it is not true. When on the ground simply draw the time slider to any time you like, then select custom weather and pick "Live Weather". Done. Now you have the current live weather but a different time of the day.
