Live weather enabled in the DATA settings seems to be the cause of stuttering even if you fly with preset weather. Disabling live weather in the settings seems to fix all the issues caused by this bug.

Thanks for this. I added this information to the first post as it may be of use to some who find that simply using pre-set weather is not enough to correct issues caused by this.
As a more general point, the suggestions in this thread will unlikely improve any other performance issues and/or ctd issues that existed in a MSFS installation prior to this particular live weather bug, that started on new yearâs day. It would be great if it did- but alas this thread is specifically for a possible workaround to the knock on effects of this specific live weather issue. I would urge everyone to bear this in mind when posting in this thread.
But EVERYTHING is on line these daysâŠ

Well, in my case unfortunately live weather has nothing to do with it. Yesterday I tried to start a flight with LW off from the very beginning. It wasnât long when my fps dropped to 10-12 making sim completely unflyable again. CPU and GPU at idle. I believe this issue is rooted deeper in some server problem, since my FPS went back to normal levels IMMEDIATELY as I closed the session and returned to main menu. I am yet to try and start a flight with online functionality completely shut off, which is what Iâm about to do today. But then again, for me, as I believe for many other users out there, sim is useless without online dataâŠ

Preset weather certainly fixed mine ,many hours lost searching for a cure.
Goodness⊠I sincerely hope not!
My game CTDs regardless of weather the last two days 1-15 minutes after loading into an airport. Has happened 7/7 times so far. Really frustrating.

Did some further testing and started a flight with online functionality switched off. The same problem appeared a few minutes after the launch. Massive fps drop and complete recovery as soon as I went back to main menu.

Has anyone noticed yet that in world map menu live weather seems to be working, when planning flight there are informations about current weather at given airport, even those without METAR informations available (eg. EDBH), so things like wind speed and direction are somehow taken from global weather information and are able to be shown in world map/ flight planning view). Itâs just that those informations are not injected into simulation itself, so Iâm not that sure if thatâs servers fault. There are also clouds visible when scrolled away to certain distance at world map which I believe also are depiction of weather server data. On top of that there is a graphic in top right corner of world map view that shows in general what weather is at selected route and it seems to be accurate (shows clouds or even rain if there is on route). Considering all that it seems MSFS currently gets weather information at world map level. Just not able to make use of that inside simulation.
Yeah, airports are also reporting correct metars.
Adding screen taken in world map view showing that there is definitely some weather data processed there (things affected by weather data marked with red circles - clouds, winds and general weather on route, so weather servers are probably fine. METARs are reported to be fine but also airport without METARs like EDBH have correctly calculated weather when in world map view. Itâs just not properly injected into simulation.
Anyone know if there is a way to make the ground snowy with the preset wearher?
Btw i noticed that the lights that should be on the ground at the airport âfloatsâ above thatâŠ
It almost made me crash during the last landing as it made me doubt the instrumentsâŠ
Yes⊠Iâve certainly noticed that the âflight conditionsâ image in the top right corner of the flight planning page has always looked correct throughout the recent live weather breakdown. Very peculiar indeed!
Donât know if anyone noticed, but the sim is still injecting visibility data. Whatâs missing are cloud, wind, pressure (and temp?) data, which is weird.
Also, Iâm in beta, so I donât know if thereâs something different on that end.

Since su7 the visibility from METAR is not from server. Itâs the sim that injects that. The rest comes from the servers.
Maybe meteoblue weather isnât working and they still inject visibility from the metar.
Did we still didnât hear something from them that indicates this will be fixed soon?
They donât like us complaining here, we are suppose to come up with solutions for them & post them.We buy a MS/Asobo product which is riddled with problems & we the customers are expected to help them fix it

Respectfully, this is not 3 people in a garage. This is Microsoft (that understands what reliable up time means).
Whilst a short outage isnât great, one that lasts days is unacceptable, regardless of the season. These sort of issues will be the things that must be overcome, or this sim will face longevity challenges. Basic accurate flight dynamics and systems depth that achieves a concrete base state, a robust sim interface that doesnât change, reliable accurate weather and continued improvements to the streaming data will be what this sim needs to become the game changer it has been sold as. The visuals are indeed stunning, but the reliant industry needs the basic framework to get locked down correctly, before the constantly marketed additional features.
I enjoy this sim too much to hope for any less.
Happy 2022- C

Then we wouldnât have weather information on world map view as well which is not the case as I stated couple posts above with screenshot.
More possible is that since new year something in data received flom meteoblue changed (maybe some variable name or format and that data is not processed in world map view but it needs to be processed to inject weather into simulation engine).
Unless they gather weather data for world map from other source than meteoblueâŠ
EDIT: Data in world map (at least wind speed and direction on airports and clouds layout) looks to be still dynamic and live as it shows different conditions today comparing to yesterday on same route and compared to other online weather reports it seems to show it correctly and in real time.
Well said
