The METAR says CAVOK so maybe that is why you have clear sky. Have you tried to start at a location in the world map that shows clouds ?

Also try resetting connection to online functionality, by going to Settings > General > Data and turn off Online Functionality, then save, then back on, then save, then restart the sim and try again.

Have the same problem.
The World Map at start up does not show any clouds at all.
But In the filter menu of the this “World Map” “Clouds” is on.
When after a while the plane is ready for take off in the new screen, no live weather is possible at all either:
In the weather menu it’s not possible to switch to “Live Weather” , - the button bounces back to the left side.In the menu of the same input screen I can’t select “Live Weather”, the other items are selectable, but I did not try out the soaring items yet.
METAR is not available.
It does not matter whether the community folder is loaded or not.

â– â– â– â–  happens :wink:
Otherwise a wonderful scenery in this update again! Not only that.

Good luck, bye, walter

EDIT: The “problem” is resolved for me.
In “GENERAL OPTIONS” - “DATA” - “DATA CONNECTION” the ONLINE ACTIVITY switch was OFF. With this switch on (again ?) and a restart, the real weather is available again,at least for me.
I saw that with the topic author the ONLINE ACTIVITY is shown as ON .

Appreciate the weather part of the game so much, sooo well done, - like real, almost.

Have you check the following ?:

  • Live Weather is activated in General Options/Data
  • You are not in Dev mode
  • If using a PC, disable IPv6 in your network settings (needs to restart your PC)

I have the same problem

Have you checked the options above ?

yes I did.

Ive tried this one repeatedly, it used to work a few months back but now makes no difference.

Only just got back onto the sim after a very busy few days, and yes, I went through everything incluing the Ipv6 settings (all off) with no luck.

Wierdly enough, I’m currentlly sitting on stand at EBBR: the global map didnt show clouds when I was setting up, the flight was showing heavy rain at EBBR while loading up, the weather is being reported over the radio as heavy rain, METAR in the sim is saying broken clouds and the sim itself is showing clear skies…

By clear skies I mean completely devoid of clouds. Nothing.

I’m now pretty much of the opinion that the live weather simply broken (or at least is very hit and miss as it occasionally works, but mostly doesnt) so will just setup this manually until such time as I can either re-install the sim or somewhere along the line it fixes itself.

Thanks for keeping us posted of your issue. I just loaded a flight at EBBR and Live weather is working for me, I also have clouds on the world map:



I am connected to the EAST USA server, maybe you can check that, aslo make sure you status is online:

If still does not work, I guess the last option is to uninstall and re-install the sim, you’ve tried everything possible…
