So I guess it's time to clock in some DCS hours while waithing for a more permanent METAR fix... 😅tch es what the METAR was for the date it resets. Same occurs with different aircraft and on different airfields. Quite an annoying issue.Loading into the sim, initially the METAR shows the actual weather (current) but 10-15 seconds later it resets to an old date (always 26th Jan). The in-sim weather appears wrong compared with the actual, it rather matches what the METAR was for the date it resets. Same occurs with different aircraft and on different airfields. Quite an annoying issue.

By any chance the addon is Sky4Sim? It recently updated to v1.6. Afterwards I started having the METAR/Live weather issues. Removed it and while METAR remains broken (reverting to 25th, 26th Jan), at least the "persistent clear skies" issue is gone and in sim weather synchs with the METAR. Not sure if related though, just trying to troubleshoot on my end..

Sunday, 5th Feb was having constant METAR issue, was thinking something is broken on my end after the recent MSFS update. Glad to see it's not LoL Issue detail: Loading into the sim, initially the METAR report (MSFS METAR window selected for the nearest airport) shows the current METAR report but 10-15 seconds later it resets to an old date (always 26th Jan). The in-sim weather appears wrong from the start, it rather matches what the METAR was like for the date it resets. Same occurs with different aircraft and on different airfields...

I'm having a weird issue with the MCDU. Whenever I'm trying to input dep/arr airport (for example LOWW/LOWI) in the INIT page of the MCDU, nothing happens. The row remains blank and no flight plan can be further created/edited. Latest dev. version installed. The same with stable. Any ideas?

Kyle, No, that's a view purely from inside, a combination of ChasePlane custom "over the shoulder" view and bit of TrackIR view point moved towards the window (but not crossing):

Marc, thanks for the clarification..

In VC when looking over the shoulder (close to the window but not outside the VC model) I can see the wingtip and part of the engine nacelle. I assume IRL those can be seen as well considering the length of the wing. Unfortunately the external model seems to have no textures. Is this on purpose? Can textures be added?

Yes, all good with TSS. I did notice it too with the stock sound. With TSS I could not hear it anymore.

That's correct. I load the Maddog from the opening screen and then into the flight no issue with looping APU sound (or any other sound).

Temporary solution - don't switch on all lights like a Christmas tree. Landing / take off with the inboard landing lights only, taxi - nose taxi light only. Gives reasonable FPS.

You don't need to reinstall the mega scenery. Add manually the areas with the software SceneryConfig 1.19 (P3D v4 ready), it is fairly straight forward to use. Point the path to the "scenery" folders where the mega files are already installed (one by one for each area) and jump in the P3D. Working fine.

Maybe I'm missing something but in the light of the 64b LM Prepar3D v4 imminent release and nearly all major 3rd party developers converting their products (for free) I have the feeling that the dovetail product is pretty much "dead on arrival"... I've seen videos and quite frankly can't see a valid reason to look that way.

Respect Sir. Great treat for your customers.

KL thank you for the response. No, I have installed the multiple packs listed on the first page (last being the 179 ships). By the way I installed the P3D v2.5 fix of the effects and this resolved the vertical lines. Only now most of the wakes are flickering but I guess I can live with that.. I will also look around for the all-in-one pack V1 that you mention.
