Default WX METAR

Featured Replies

Is there a way to display what MSFS 2024 default weather is showing at your current location or at a selected ICAO code?

I actually don't know myself as I usually use sky vector to see (which is sometimes close and sometimes not haha).

What you can do though is view it in some of the glass cockpit aircraft. I'm pretty sure all of the default aircraft with at least a G1000 can readout the weather.

Though I have FS2024 installed, I'm not using it for flights yet. I believe this info is supposed to be available in the EFB?

In FS2020 I can go to the Weather panel from the Toolbar and get the METAR.

I usually obtain my weather from the Nav system of the aircraft if flying anything with a g1000 on up to an advanced FMS.

Also, there's always https://metar-taf.com/

Open the EFB, go to the map, and search for the airport.

Thanks for the info but I was hoping to pull it from the sim. Some of the addons I have allow me to get the weather from their EFB but sometimes I want to use MSFS's historical weather and I just want to see what to expect at my destination.

The EFB (from the sim) displays METAR when available

Unfortunately, it seems to display only the live METAR whatever sim time you set. On the previous pic: real time is 07h50z, EFB METAR displayed is 0651Z and sim time is 14:05z.

You probably used the wrong window to set your sim time.

You want to set the time via the Live tab, not custom.

Thanks @Tuskin38 , will check that soon. I may made the mistakes for years ;) I'm mostly use the Flow Pro app to change time when starting. I may need to change some of my flow ;)
