ISSUE DESCRIPTION
Description of the issue: Once the current real world time hits 1600UTC, cloud cover which should remain gets removed.
Provide specific location or coordinates: I’ve used the example of LELN which has had an area of overcast cloud over it all day and still has that overcast coverage now into the night time.
Provide time and date of the observed weather issue: 11 December 2024, around 17-1800 UTC once nightfall hits.
[PC Only] Did you remove all your community mods/add-ons? If yes, are you still experiencing the issue?
FREQUENCY OF ISSUE
How often does this occur for you (Example: Just once, every time on sim load, intermittently)? Every time
REPRODUCTION STEPS
Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:
- Observe the cloud cover on world map with live weather enabled in a location that it is night time. You can see the clouds are removed.
- Move time back to day time and see the coverage comes back.
Example:
LELN current cloud cover in real:
Cloud cover with current time during darkness at 2016utc , a lot of the cloud cover gets removed:
Move time back to hours of daylight around 1600utc, cloud cover increases as it should be per real world conditons:
I therefore believe there is a bug where the cloud cover is being removed once it gets dark.
Can also be observed in game:
At night time, lots of cloud is removed:
Go back to day time and it’s back
A further example of LSGG Geneva on 27.12.24
1400UTC/6PM LSGG - reporting OVC cloud which is injecting correctly:
15:00UTC / 7pm - should still be OVC but clouds start getting removed:
15:53UTC/7:53pm - should still be OVC but now nearly all clouds removed.
Geneva remained overcast all day so the clouds should not have been removed.
