New here, though I've been simming on and off for years. Currently on MSFS 2024. I hold a UK PPL, but these days far more of my flying happens at a desk than in a cockpit. What keeps pulling me back to the sim is how close it now gets to the feel of the real thing — and the particular ways it still doesn't. Mostly atmospheric: the little burble over the trees on short final, thermals coming off a warm afternoon, and honest visibility. A British summer is 8km in haze far more often than it's severe clear, and I miss that when everything is glass-smooth and CAVOK. Mix of GA and short-haul jets, mostly around the UK and Europe. A question while I'm here, since I'd rather ask than guess: for those of you on 2024, what are you using for weather these days? Sticking with live weather as it comes, or running something on top of it? Looking forward to reading around.
