I am thinking now to either install AIG or buy FS Traffic from Justflight. I read about FS Traffic that it displays only a very low amount of airborne traffic enroute. How does AIG perform in that matter? Does it show a descent amount of traffic when you are in cruise? Kind regards

Yes that works with Activesky.

I think the C172 modeled in the sim is equipped with a Lyocoming IO360 (I stands for Injection). I fly a DR400 with a Lycoming O360 (the version with a carburator) in real life. The O360 can be operatet with full power in climb according to the POH of the aircraft (a slight RPM reduction on the constantspeed prop is necessary). The aircraft I mentioned is a club aircraft and is operatet all the time with full power until cruise altitude. We didn't have any problems to reach the engines TBO of 2000 hours, operating like that. I have no experience with the IO360 but I could imagine that it indeed can be operated at full power as well.

Did you try another airport? Because I have a CTD, whenever I try to hit "fly" and have the A330 selected (for 2 days in a row now). So maybe its the plane, not the airport.

The level of detail we get from some of the default aircraft is unbelievable. I was flying the A330 yesterday. It has absolute payware quality. It looks great, flies great, has good sounds and great systems. A big compliment to Inibuilds and the Flightsim Team. Just remember how awful default planes where in FSX times 😄 .

I just crashed trough the bridge at EDDM in the A330 as well.

I think the option would be already there. There are to tabs in the weather menu. "Live" on the left side of the menu and "Custom" on the right. However, in the "Custom" tab you can still select live weather like in FS2020. The problem is, that the live weather in the "Custom" menu is not really live but connected to the time you set. An easy solution would be: "Live" Tab: Live Weather connected to the time you set using historical data "Custom Tab": Really Live weather like it is right now, independent of the time you set. At the moment the two tabs are more or less redundant because both do the same.

Unfortunately i can't edit the initial post anylonger 😞

Thats what I mean. An option would be perfect 🙂 Historic weather On/Off or something like that.

May I ask, do you plan flights with simbrief? 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?

If you fly offline, it doesn't really matter (apart that all your simbrief plannings will be incorrect, if you don't really always set the real time for your flight). For VATSIM however it means that for someone like me, who mostly uses the sim in the evening after work, it will mean that you always have to fly in darkness or you are not allowed to fly on the network because you have to use live weather for VATSIM.

If thats the solution, than they completely messed up what people wantet with historical weather I think. You should have the option to select historical weather separately from the time. Like this flying on VATSIM is completely impossible if you dont want to fly around in darkness all the time during the winter month.

Unfortunately that doesnt help. That would mean that flying on VATSIM during daylight after work is now more or less impossible. What a mess.

Hi, In FS2020 it was completely normal to set your time to whatever you want and still get live weather data. In FS2024 however, the weather always seems to fetch historical data of the time you set in the sim. I sit in Zurich at the moment. In real live it is snowing there. When I sync the sim time to the real time, the weather is correct. When I set the sim time to morning for example, the weather immideately changes to how it was in real life in Zurich in the morning, even though "Live Weather" is still selected. Is there any chance to get really live weather even though the time is set differently? Kind regard Martin

Hi, In FS2020 you could check the METARs of the nearest airport by opening the weather menu of the in flight menu bar. In FS2024 this option seems to be gone. Did anyone figure out how to check a metar inflight, without using some external website? Kind regards Martin
