Same here, in April 2025. At sea level, you get snow as soon as you are close to the highest peaks in the area, which must be the ones that have a real snow coverage year-round. This is global, goes for the Alps, where I live and fly, too.

The problem is still this: Meteoblue can give you snow extending from the highest mountains to a certain radius from there, but it does not know the ELEVATION. In real weather mode, in the Alps, there is snow on the ground, say, in April, at 18 deg. Celsius, near the highest areas, but at the same altitude, farther away from the peaks, there is no snow. Meteoblue has not done anything about this big error in MSFS2020. I have, e.g. two airports less than 20 miles apart, take off at the one closer to the mountains, and land on the other one which is at the same elevation, enough far distant from the peaks, with no snow. In reality, neither should have snow at 1450 ft ASL at 18 degrees C.

Another problem that MSFS has not gotten right so far: Glaciers extending down from the Greenland ice cap into the fjords (I wanted to re-create what I saw in reality) are not existing. Famous, oft-visited Ilulissat Icefjord which is part of Disko Bay, is nowhere to be seen. There is water all the way up to the actual coast line in MSFS, but the huge, thick glacier that attracts all the visitors is missing. Strange: While they keep telling us that MS Bing Maps satellite images are used under the MSFS scenery, here it is not implemented. I have attached here a section of Bing Satellite Maps, where the glacier and icebergs are showing correctly.

I live and MS-fly in the Alps. AFAIK, from my own observations, snow is on the ground near (within a certain radius) from the highest peaks. Example: I fly near the Eiger, then turn northwest towards lower areas, and as soon as I far enough away the snow coverage stops. More issues: Waterways incl. small brooks all have a snow-less border a few metres wide on both sides of the actual water. Roads/streets are snow-covered even in clear, green areas. So the cooperation between MSFS and Meteoblue is still not working. example here: Flying west from Samedan-St.Moritz airport over otherwise nicely modeled creeks and rivers

I bought it, too, but I do not like it. Not a professional sim. Peter

I have installed Rick's portover version and the HS7v6_FSX which I understand is part of the files I needed. The plane seems to be ok but I have not been able to get it to work properly. I can't get the Inverters to work. This means lack of power for some intruments and the engine starters. I wonder if anyone out there has encountered this problem AND found the solution... If I Ctl-E- start the engines, they do start but they do not perform properly. Another thing. I did go by the checklist.. Peter

Hi I have installed Win7 64-bit and FS2004. Now I need to re-install the DC-3 from the CD as no gauges are to be found in the gauges folder. The install will start, but a win security message tells me that there is spyware in this file: _inst10.exe This sim is still the best DC-3,and I had no problem whatsoever with it installing it on my former WinXP.
