May 8May 8 What I have noticed in the last few days is, in Xp12, visibility is way off from real reported METAR values at pretty much all airfields I've tested. I've seen 16 sm being reported in the sim (real weather / real time) while the METAR reads 1/2sm ... Yesterday for the first time I found the opposite, a METAR reading 1/2sm and Xp12 reporting 700ft only... Since other in this thread have mentioned MSFS 2024, and SU5, no, I didn't experience any quirks with weather being inconsistent with METAR and model data in SU5 so far. Quite on the contrary, down to a very acceptable depiction of low visibility conditions.

Quite on the contrary, down to a very acceptable depiction of low visibility conditions. I have definitively also noticed quite some inacuracies as you describe. The temp, pressure and winds are usually excellent and very close to what the latest official metar says. But the cloud coverage and visibility is pretty often a miss. I also tested some airports in an area with big storms, ugly weather and very bad visibility (many times). And in XP it is often just scattered and visibility seems to be 10+ km or at least clearly better than what it should be. What is weird is that for you it seems to be the opposite? Perhaps related to the area? As far as I remember, the accuracy used to be better around 6 months ago. I think Marco is aware of something related to the weather needing improvement. At least LR is aware of the radar-returns not being shown anymore and this should be fixed. Let’s hope it will also fix what we are talking about here.
