So I loaded up flying over Manhattan last nite (July 4th) and changed time to 22:00 local... flew around in all directions for a long while but ended up seeing no fireworks...tried a 2nd and third time by resetting time...flew an alt ranging from 500msl to 1500msl.

This used to work just fine in fs2020 for me.

I was once back in 1999 Flying from Vancouver to Sydney via LA on the 4th of July.

we where flying down the West Coast at night in a Canadian 737-200 with fireworks everywhere when we flew over citys and into LAX

Well the person in that video is using the free weloveVFR fireworks addon.

The second USA world update added fireworks for July 4th, maybe they broke with 2024
