Live Weather vs Setting different time

Featured Replies

I have this problem with Live Weather enabled and changing the local time.

My scenario is: loading into my flight and noticing it is dark and I want to fly in daylight, I alter the time using the Flow Essentials time widget. This is most often done by moving the time back to before sunset.

The problem I'm seeing since Update 6 is the temperature is high at upper altitudes. Really high. For example, TAT of +37C at FL300. Obviously, the aircraft doesn't perform correctly and climbing is impossible.

I 'solved' this issue by selecting a weather preset.

Has anyone else seen this? Am I misunderstanding how this works? I assumed the sim would continue to use Live Weather regardless of the time. Or, maybe the sim used to do this, but no longer?

Used to adjust for last 24 hours, but if you're getting high temperatures at altitude something broke.

Yeah. Judging by only 1 (your) reply this not something common.

I'm experimenting with Atmos Core and GTX. I doubt these have any affect, but you never know.

One thing that has tripped me up using Flow to change the time is that when you adjust the time backwards it doesn't change the date when you roll past 00:00 UTC. If the current time is 02:00 UTC on August 23 and you bump the time back 3 hours, you get 23:00 UTC on August 23 instead of 23:00 UTC on August 22. It's easy to roll back past midnight end up with a time in the future, which would mean that Live Weather doesn't work.
