They said they did, but I found blue sky lightning immediately after the fix supposedly went in. They asked for additional reports about it, and then that’s the last we heard about it. It’s been a problem ever since.
Folks thought the bug went away, but really it was just the weather changing.
They probably also dialed down the overall prevalence of the lightning, but they didn’t fix the root cause of the issue, which is that the lightning parameter triggers when there isn’t appropriate weather drawn in the simulator or actual real world storm activity at that location.
