Until Asobo can “fix” the live weather to include isolated thunderstorms and/or supercell thunderstorms (live weather rarely if ever captures these due to the short life cycle of the storms - but they are usually the most dangerous!)…
Would it be possible so that we could activate something like preset isolated thunderstorm or supercell with defined location, size, lifespan (in hours or minutes, or dependent on time of day/temperature), movement (random, designated, or dependent on live weather winds), strength (also enable a setting that system takes live weather temperature and time of day into account so that it dynamically controls if storms strengthen or weaken), initial cloud top heights, lightning, rain, hail (none, some, heavy, or depending on strength) etc.?
These “preset files” would reside in a folder which contain data such as lat/lon, and attributes above, and be allowed to run alongside the LIVE weather. If MSFS could scan the folder every few minutes for an xml file and if we’re flying within a certain radius of the storm area, then enable the thunderstorms; I think this could resolve our summer itch for violent storms to be able to avoid!
The trick here being, allowing live weather to have these preset files run alongside the live weather…
